uploaded site via ftp, but domain doesn't go to homepage?

Hi,

I have created a test site, and uploaded with filezilla, but instead of the domain opening index.html, I get an index of the root folder. The site works if you then click on the index.html.

How do I get the domain to open index.html?

I am using 000webhost

the domain is http://www.tabor.netne.net/

Thanks.

    Try 'index.html' (rather than Index.html) ... UNIX Server are 'case sensitive' :-) - if that doesn't work, try 'default.htm' instead of Index.html

    NB. Your doc. heading doesn't look quite right .. at the top you should have something like :-

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitiona...

    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml%22 xml:lang="en" lang="en">

    <head>

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
