Open your cpanel... the link should be like this

http://yoursever.x10hosting.com:2082

there you will found file manager. You can upload your site here

If you wish, you may also use FTP. It is usually faster, but it's more complex to set up.

Hi darmish,

There is a step-by-step tutorial with screenshots on the following page explaining how to upload files to your hosting account using the File Manager from cPanel:

I found the file manager and put all my files into the public folder--did i do something wrong or miss a step, because my website lists files-not the webpages.

make sure you have index.php or index.html in public_html folder..

You seem to be missing your main page, Hare.htm . Forget to upload it?

Unless you are going to edit your pages so that your main page is called index.html, you have to edit .htaccess to have the line

DirectoryIndex  Hare.htm

Im sorry to seem so clueless-I uploaded the htm file. I do not know how to access or change the htaccess file.

open cpanel file manager and select .htaccess then click on code editor on the TOP.

Here you can edit this file..

Turns out he has to do more than that.

I thought the remaining is posted before..

This is for harefest, not the original poster.

Oh, well.
OK.
Site created with MS products

1. Hare.htm is supposed to be your index page.
2. Hare.htm expects the other pages and images to be in a directory named Hare_files

Fixing #2 first.
Sign into cPanel.
Click on File Manager (if you get a pop-up, check Web Root (public_html/www) and 'Show Hidden Files'
Go to public_html
Create new folder Hare_files
Move all the files except Hare.htm and postinfo.html and any file that stars with a dot, like .htaccess, from public_html to Hare_files

That way, clicking on http://harefest.exofire.net/Hare.htm should take you to a functional website.

Next, select .htaccess.
Click on Edit near top of File Manager.
When editor opens up, add the line

DirectoryIndex  Hare.htm

and save changes.

Now http://harefest.exofire.net should take you to the front page.
