Uploading html files

I hope someone could give me some directions as to how to fix this problem, please

I have a blog with a squeeze page to build a list.. I am giving away a free gift and on the way to downloading this gift, I have two One Time Offers with Sales pages which have been edited and ready to go.

The problem is since these sales pages are index.html files and I don't want them on the main domain (where my squeeze page is) I am having problems with the renamed files. I had hoped that I could just rename and upload them, then paste the URLs on the download page but this is not working. I did try .php but it didn't work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

    If I understand the question correctly then you can call the files whatever you want and just change the redirects to go to those files. These will likely be in either anchor tags or on the submit button of the squeeze page. If you are using Aweber or another autoresponder then just change the redirect url there.

    To make it more clear assume you have a domain called mydomain.com and in that you have index.html which will obviously be the main squeeze page. If you also upload oto1.html and oto2.html to the same directory as index.html then when you go to mydomain.com it will automatically open the index.html squeeze page then you can redirect to mydomain.com/oto1.html or mydomain.com/oto2.html and that will open either of the one time offers.

    If I misunderstood the question then please correct me and I will come back with a better answer

      Thanks very much for your suggestion and that seems to be what the other responses suggest. I will try that.

    better to build new directories for the 2 OTOs sales page, and still use index.html for them. It will look more decent.

      She'll need to access her file manager but it sounds like that is no problem since she is already uploading the pages. That's odd that they don't show up when they are renamed.

    Renaming works fine - same as if you rename a file on your local computer.

    But remember that on a lot of hosts file names as case sensitive so Newname.html isn't the same as newname.html

    And the extension matters - some hosts will try to guess that .htm and .html are the same but most will give an error if you don't get it precisely right.

    And since computers are fussy things, make sure you're pointing to the precise location of the file. I often check by copying the name direct from Filezilla and then pasting it into the correct place in the browser address bar.

    Did you installed them by script?
    Then that will be based on your phpMyAdmin database, which renaming the "html" file wouldn't work.

    If your squeeze page goes with a basic of html file, I don't see why you get that error.

      Go to your cPanel file manager and create two new folders.

      mydomain.com (contains squeeze - index.html)

      mydomain.com/oto1 (contains oto1 - index.html)

      mydomain.com/oto2 (contains oto2 - index.html)

      Open each folder one at a time and upload the index.html
      (and any other files you want in that directory.)

      Open the second folder, and do the same again.

      This way it'll be neater and clearer.
      You don't need to rename or use .php files.


      I hope I understood your problem.
