What Is The Url Of Hosted Files?

[AbyssalStalker 0]

Okay site is up and running, figured out how to upload files, manage folders etc. So I tested it out and uploaded 3 songs and a few random files. One problem... Where can I get the URL? If I right click the file it give me the URL to edit it... where can I get the URL to the file itself? Thanks!

That should be fairly simple. Supposing I have a file called image1.jpg which has been placed in a folder called graphics under the public_html folder of my hosting account.

 

The direct URL to that file will be: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ or in case you have an Xisto subdomain,

mysubdomain.astahost.com/graphics/image1.jpg

 

Likewise with all other files/folders.. just include the relative path to the file, assuming that public_html is your root and append that path to the main site URL.

 

Hope this will make it a bit clear.

 

Regards,

You are only getting the link for them in your account that way. Where did you put these files? If it's a file called sample.mp3, in the main root folder (public_html) and your account name is called AbyssalStalker, then you can access this file by going to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

This hasn't helped at all actually, I appreciate you trying but, everytime I link something I get a little red X. I tried all those combinations but to no success.

 

And so on. I just don't get it? I know the files are good because i've linked them from photobucket. Please, help my poor soul

it seems that you have no indesx.html on your site http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
so we cannot see directly what happends. But obviously your syntax is false, try drag and drop a local image in your Microsoft Frontpage page, and you will see the syntax.

Okay, so I go to that frontpage thing. It says my extensions are NOT installed, so I try to install them. THis is what it says:

 

 

 

Site Management Tools / Frontpage Extensions

 

Attempting to install Frontpage extensions ......

 

/home/eric88/public_html does not exist or is not a directory!

 

 

Frontpage extensions are currently: not installed

 

 

 

 

What am I supposed to do? I'm trying hard guys, I just don't understand this crap. I appreciate all the help you're giving me.

You sure you're site's address is: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/Make sure you upload a index.html file like yordan said. For your images, you are not closing the html tags correctly. Do something like this instead: <img src="http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

 

Don't forget that equal sign after "img src". If you go directly to that link, your image should display on your browser regardless of whether you have a index.html page set up or not.

No idea where to get the index file. I'm closing the Image thing correctly, because all my other files are showing up fine.

 

These are the sites I get. This is the account home:

 

http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

 

And this is the file manager:

I don't know if that makes any difference when I link my files, but that's what I have. Thankz

Ugh I don't know. Is there anyway I can refresh the account so it starts from the beginning? I deleted some stuff when I first logged in and I'm guessing they were important. If I can refresh the account maybe I'll have better luck. Lemme know, thanks.
