OK Thanks -

I have a feeling it has something to do with the "Root" in cPanel.

Surely that has to "Uploaded" to my Server? but I don't know how.

I have purchased the licence for the "Smartftp".

DJ - Thank You - I appreciate all the help that you have given me and even more so for your Patience.

Maybe I will have to put this one down to a failure on my part?

Thats a very silly thing to do.

Evening Paul.

Welshy, there's plenty of free FTP programs available for download. I use Filezilla personally. You might want to look into that.

cPanel will let you upload files simply by clicking the Upload button, but I've never used it. FTP is likely much faster.

"Root" simply refers to the upper most file in a file tree. In other words, all the files and subfolder of your forum are in your a single folder. Wherever that folder is or whatever it's called, it's considered your "forum root". Your site is likely located in a folder called public_html. That's your "site root".

Just give it some time. Grasping this is not as "out there" as you may think.

Thanks DJ. Appreciate it.

The reason I have Smartftp, is that it came highly recommended as a FREE programme.

I downloaded it and only at the end of the download did it state that it was no longer Free.

It said along the lines of: " After being available for Free to Millions of people for over 10 years, this programme is no longer free".

So I thought 'What the heck' I have come this far, and subscribed and paid the fee. (It wasn't a lot).

It has taken some getting used to, but I am getting the hang of it.
