How do I redirect so that I open my web page I see my chosen Html page instead of a list of files?

Rename your chosen html page "index.html"

Maybe a better question is" how do I make it so that my main html index page shows when someone goes to my website, instead of it showing a list of my files?

 

[fossfami]

My chosen Html page is FossIndex.html....shouldn't that work? I think it has something to do with where I have uploaded my files maybe..

Also, my page is not loading or looking like it should at all...it all works in and has been checked for code correctness.

as @decalzo said above - rename [ FossIndex.html ] to [ index.html ] in folder [ public_html ]

Thank you bdistler...but didn't answer my need.

Thank you bdistler...but didn't answer my need.

[ Index.html ] is not the same as [ index.html ] - note the lower case " i "

FWIW - better for all file and folder names to be in all lower-case - in x10hosting's free-hosting accounts

Thanks...I will try that change

 

[fossfami]

that worked - thank you...however, my page is not displaying like it should at all. the pictures are not showing and the CSS attributes don't seem to be working properly. Any ideas? This is just when I go to my website. I have checked the html code and css code and they work perfect if I just open them in a browser from my computer.

check the links to your "pictures" ...

what is the URL to your site ?

YOURSITE.x10.mx/foss.css gives a 404 Not Found.
99% of the Web is *nix based.
Microsoft garbage, er products, insist on doing things their own way.
*nix is case sensitive. Windows is not.
On windows, foss.css will get you Foss.css.
On *nix it will not.
Either change your all your css links to Foss.css (as the file is named on the server) or just change the name of the file to foss.css to match the links.

EDIT/ADD: Not sure what the problem is with some of the images. Some show up, some don't. Check spelling, capitalization, and make sure they have been uploaded.
Rant #2 : No spaces in file names. No punctuation , other than . and -

Thanks...got it...
as far as not displaying properly, my syntax is good. All are linked to Foss.css - I will double check the rest ...thanks.
