There are two basic scenarios that may apply here. Either (1) keep all the files in the same folder, or (2) place files (other than index.html) in folders contained within the folder where index.html is stored. First case — Copy index.html and all the linked files, page graphics, etc., into a new folder. Open index.html and verify that each link works, as well as links to other local pages, and that graphics are displayed properly. For link and image URLs that fail, edit those URLs such that only the filenames remain. For example, change Page 1

to Page 1

Second case — Copy index.html and other pages into a new folder. If you want to keep images separate from the pages (a good idea that reduces clutter), create within the new folder a folder named "images", and place all image files there. Edit the page files to change "

You can also opt to keep pages in another folder. To do this, create a folder named "pages", and move all pages (other than index.html) into the folder. Edit index.html to include For pages that include a link to index.html, edit the link's URL in those pages to href=" ../index.html " ————— ————— ————— ————— ————— ————— Once you're satisfied that links, images, etc., are functional, simply copy all the files (and folders, if any) to your site. Two good FTP clients that make the job simple are WS_FTP LE and FileZilla. WS_FTP LE http://www.oldversion.com/windows/ws-ftp-le-6 FileZilla https://filezilla-project.org/
