    Hello sim4,

    This is not an error. The server is simply displaying the folders downloaded at its root (the root of your server is "yourwebsite.com".)

    The solution would be to go into your CPanel and try to check for "Fantastico" or any "one click installer" solution. If you use it to install Wordpress or Joomla for instance, you would now see the home page of your website. These "one click installers" put together the files for you in a matter of minutes, so all you have to do is to log in and start uploading your website template and adding content.

    If you need any further help or if you need me to rephrase please do let me know.

    - Patty

      Patty,
      Please need you to explain further,

      the site is not a wordpress or joomla, i use dreamweaver to create it and upload directly through filezilla.

      I do not know what i did wrong. so how do i handle this?

      Thanks
      Simeon

    You need to save your homepage or main page as index.html so it displays when you click Index of /

    In the root you should save your main page as file index.html and also any folder you create must have a file saved as index.html so it doesn't show all the files within the folder as you have it now

    You can also go to your cpanel and under advance go to index manager and choose noindex. You can read more here:

      Please Sandragaff,

      the main site is saved as index already at the root- public_html and i've click no index but still the same.

      Please what do i do next?

    Thanks everyone i am grateful.
    I travelled and just returned back, that's the cause for the delay in appreciating the two of you Patty and sandragraff.

    Thanks guys.
