I try to upload my webpage via filezilla. When I enter my hosting account, i see "public_html" folder where to upload my files. I upload my pages, and first i tried to upload the whole folder "images" but when i opened the page with the browser , images didn appear. Then I tried to upload the images files plus the pages in the "public files" but no result -still the images are not included when i browse the page.

There are ".DS_Store" files , i deleted them , then I return them .. still it can not open the pages.

Please, tell could the problem is ?

P.S. I deleted the "default" file

    Everything needs to be inside the public_html directory.
    For the images not showing up, the link paths to the images must be correct for them to show up.

    What did you use to set up the pages?
    You need to make sure the images paths are correct.

    If you don't have it, download FireFox web browser, install it then Google FireBug, it should show up in the FireFox addon site.
    I can't post links yet

    Then once FireBug is installed, browse the site and right click where an image should be and select Inspect Element, FireBug will pop up, if the image is a background in the CSS locate it in the CSS window, if not in the HTML.

    You will see by hovering over the HTML elements in FireBug that the blocks on the page should highlight to let you know where you are in the code.

    This should help you locate the places the images are in the code.

    Then see what the path says for the image.
    My guess is that DreamWeaver made it a local absolute path on your computer which is why they show up there and not on the site.

    You may have to fix these paths by hand in the code.

    Happened to me also and got me confused for a while.

    Here's what I found out. I have a site defined in Dreamweaver and still got my original files in another folder in my computer. So that means I have 2 folders with the same file/image.

    I placed an image on the page without copying it to the defined site folder. So that means when I preview on the computer it shows fine but when I uploaded the page the image was not included.

    I suggest that you copy the image to your defined site folder. If you create a separate folder just for images that would be better. And then when placing the image make sure you get it from the defined site folder to make sure it'll also be uploaded when you "put" or synchronize your page/site.
