Urgent Website Upload Help Needed

Mar 11, 2005 10:24AM PST

Okay, I created a web site for a fine arts competition tomorrow and I have to get it up immediately. Here's the deal: I am uploading using a remote FTP server, and the site is all there and works perfectly, except when you type the main site name in just the site with the .com tag, it brings up an index of the pages on the site. I need it to bring up the first page on the page where an index is at right now. Could someone please instruct me on how this is done?

MANY THANKS,

Justin

There is no index.htm or index.html file or when the web server is misconfigured.
