You put in the name of your server...

For example, if your server name is my.lame.server you would change the instance of localhost to my.lame.server

ieg http://www.modwest.com" target="_blank ?

??

ieg http://www.modwest.com" target="_blank ?

Is that what you use to upload your web files?

[trubass]

yes it is my server,

[msmith7735]

yes it is my server,

Then yes, put that in where localhost appears.

That's what I did, and it worked fine.

That's your directory where phpBB2 sits...

for example...

my phpBB2 folder is /home/msmith/phpBB2...

So the ftp path is simply /phpBB2 since when you ftp in, you're already at the root of your login directory.

i see, so for me it will be, /hotdcs/cornishunderground/php/forum/phpbb
