- Generally speaking, there should be a "default document" (see above) within any directory structure in your site that has content. This "default document" is the "main" file for any given directory. So, if someone types in http://www.nettally.com/someuser/myvacation/ (without specifying a file in the "myvacation" directory), the default document (if it exists) is the file that will be displayed. If you name your default document "default.htm" and place it in the main directory of your site, then the following two addresses would display the same content:
http://www.nettally.com/someuser/
http://www.nettally.com/someuser/default.htm
Because default documents are displayed automatically by the web server when a visitor does not specify a specific file name, you should never specify the default document's file name in any of your code--you don't need to.
You should never have multiple default documents in the same directory (e.g. "index.html" AND "default.htm" at the same time).
- After logging in, you will automatically be placed in your directory, so you should not
set your FTP program to automatically log into some specified starting directory (by
default, this is usually left blank).
- Be sure to have your file transfer mode set to binary (sometimes called image).
- We recommend DISabling transfer logging if your FTP software stores the logs on the web server. This is sometimes enabled by default in the FTP
software.
