thats what i mean, yep. I try in control panel and ftp program and both deny me. so this sounds like its not normal.

I bought hosting from SMS and its powered by plesk. but maybe i shouldnt have

thanks but maybe I’m missing something…as I say, I cannot create a folder called wp in my root. plesk wont let me – permission denied.

Thanks. but i cant create a folder in my root. plesk wont let me. can only create subfolders in default folders

Thanks.

default folders are anon_ftp, bin, cgi-bin, conf, error_docs, httpdocs, httpsdocs, pd, private, statistics, subdomains, web_users

when i try and add a folder in the root, plesk (or via FireFTP) denies permission.

I have been told that plesk is self-admin, so didnt get much help from my host.

Being completely new to this though, is it usually possible to just copy files into the root of the ftp folder, assuming I want the wp site to just show up as mydomain.com

If I have it in a subfolder it shows up as mydomain.com/blog?

Cheers
Nick

I get you. Thanks again.

Thanks a lot Gangleri. Krembo99’s site is interesting. Thanks.

And the level that I need to get to in css and php, you think, should be ok? If I have, say, 3 days free on it to get everything up and runnning.
