Error Message

[bluecat]

I'm using Dreamweaver and I want to view my site through Safari and I get this message:
404 Not Found
The server can not find the requested page:

ftp.bluecat.x10hosting.com/public_html/about.php (port 80)
Please forward this error screen to ftp.bluecat.x10hosting.com's WebMaster.

What am I doing wrong? I want to start learning PHP and wanted to use the server instead of using a local server.

thanks

There's 2 spots causing the problem.

1: the ftp at the beginning needs to get clipped.
2: on x10hosting, the public_html folder is where all the pages are served from - it doesn't need to be in the url.

http://bluecat.x10hosting.com/about.php is the link for about.php, if you wanna see it. On that same subject, it looks dang fine to me

1. No 'ftp', you are accessing via the web. 'http://'
2. No 'public_html' ... that is the name of the top level directory.
3. No need to add the port

I guess what I am confused about is in Dreamweaver the difference between the testing server and the remote server. Initially I wasn't using a testing server, but then I thought it would be nice to see the work in Safari right away and start to implement PHP into the form so I could play with it right away. When I removed the public folder it put files on the outside and now I think I have file in two places - old files are being called up. The recent ones are in the public folder.

Thanks again for your help
