Where do i upload a new web_page? ?

I have just made a new web page for an existing site. Where should I upload it? On the same folder (public html) with the index page or should i make a new folder for it?



Do I need to upload all the files each time I make changes to a website?Where do i upload a new web_page? ?as long as the file isn't name index you will be able to put it in the public_html section and is will work fine.



You would create a new folder to help organize your files.



You only need to upload the files that you have changed and any new images when you update your site.

It really depends on the setup of your web site. If this public_html folder is the web server's root folder for public sites and you're on a hosted server, I would guess each account has it's own folder, so you would want to put your files inside your own account.



Once you've identified the root folder to your web site, you can place your files however you like. It doesn't really matter except for organization and for the URL. For example, the URL to your index page in public_html might be:



www.MyServer.com/index.html



(You don't really need to type in the index.html file name, it should automatically go to that by default.)



But if you put your new page2.html into a folder called %26quot;Folder2%26quot; then to view your page, you have to type as your URL:

www.MyServer.com/Folder2/page2.html



And yes, unless your computer is the web server for your web site, people over the internet will not be able to see files on your computer unless you upload them to the computer where your web site is located.
