I have redone my website in DW. The files are the way they are suppose to be HOWEVER, when I upload them through filezilla, they revert back to an older version. Is this a DW problem or a Filezilla problem??????? TIA

Correct answer Nancy OShea

Thank you! My links once I click on them are not working.

www.twistedflow.com

I will double check that the links are correct inside the main DW files.


The links are still broken because they all point to files on your local computer.  The only correct link is the one to your home page.  Also you still have spaces in file names which is not allowed in HTML5 code.

Like Nancy says it usually a simple case of not transferring the files to your public root folder. If you are still struggling post a screenshot of filezilla connected to your remote so we can see what you are doing.

    Comparing  local files on the left with remote files the files on the right, file sizes are different, so I'd summize you haven't uploaded the new files or you've uploded them to wrong folder?

    You look like you are in the right local project folder (Twisted Flow Show Supply TFSS) and the correct remote public_html folder

    You should be able to right click on a file or folder in the bottom left local pane and choose 'upload' from the context menu, you should then be prompted to overwrite the remote fie ....

    Without a URL, it's impossible to say for sure.   My first guess is either you're not uploading to your server's root folder  or your browser has a sticky cache that must be cleared. 

    Is there some reason you're not using DW's built-in FTP feature?

    Go to Site > Manage Site > Server's Tab.  Enter your site's log-in credentials and root folder.  If unsure what to enter here, ask your hosting provider.
