Thanks both of your help. First off, i am a she:) And, yes, I was referring to 2 files, one a .wmv file, which would only play not offer download/save options when clicked on, and one an .rtf file, which i kept getting an error even though it was in the correct folder.

I deleted the seminarfiles directory and created a new directory called members. i password protected it from cpanel. i will upload both files later thru the file manager.

The question i still have is this. Must you upload files thru the file manager versus the FTP manager? Yes, file manager is ridiculously slow, so much so i dread going there. I love FTP manager. It's so easy to use and very fast. Still wondering what the difference is.

I will not have time to re-link everything for a couple days. I will post any questions/problems i may have at that time. Hopefully, things will go a bit more smoothly this time.

Thanks again.

Jen
