Are you browsing in the correct location? If you see it in the files panel,
you must see it when you browse the root of the site. Are you sure your
files panel is showing the Local files and not the Remote/Testing server
files (see the drop-down selector on the Files panel)?

This probably means that your site definition is screwed up - you have
defined a site, right?

Thank you - that's a perfectly good process.
