uploading my website

i'm trying to upload my website using cyberduck. once I put in my information, I'm supposed to go to a folder called WWW, but I don't have that folder- all the folders I have are very different from Nicks? why is that?

I haven't used the hosting company suggested by TreeHouse but in some cases with other hosting companies it takes a while to build your new webspace. You may have accessed it before the process was complete.

I'm glad you have access and can start using your site.

Your hosting provider may not give you access to the top level folder of your website. When you access your site using FTP you are probably already in the www folder.

Upload a simple index.html document containing "hello world" and type your domain name into your browser to test if this is true.

When I tried again I got new folders, and this time the WWW folder was in there. it's weird- I'm pretty sure I put in the exact same information, and I've tried it a few times before posting my problem on the forum.
