How do I upload the html file in Earthlinks to toapayohvets.com?  

Yes. If you have EarthLink Web Hosting for toapayohvets.com, the easiest way to upload your HTML file is through EarthLink's File Manager. You do not need to use FTP for a single HTML file. 

Method 1 — EarthLink File Manager 

  1. Go to EarthLink Control Center and sign in. EarthLink says website files are managed through the Control Center.  

  1. Look for Advanced Tools.  

  1. Open File Manager.  

  1. You should see the folders/files belonging to your website.  

  1. Find the directory that contains your current website. For EarthLink hosting, the web directory is commonly /public when using FTP.  

  1. Open the appropriate website directory.  

  1. Click Upload.  

  1. Click Browse, select your HTML file on your Windows 11 computer, and click Upload. EarthLink's File Manager specifically supports uploading files from your computer this way.  

Important: your homepage 

If your new page is intended to replace the homepage, the file should normally be named: 

index.html 

For example: 

/public/ 
   index.html 
   about.html 
   contact.html 
   images/ 
       dog.jpg 
       cat.jpg 

Then: 

should load index.html. 

If your file is called home.html, for example, you would normally access it as: 

If your HTML uses images 

This is particularly important if you have created the Toa Payoh Vets site with a visual HTML editor. 

If your HTML contains something like: 

<img src="images/dog.jpg"> 

you must also upload the images folder and its contents, preserving the same folder structure on EarthLink. 

Otherwise the webpage will appear but the photographs will show as broken images. 

Method 2 — FileZilla 

If you have many HTML pages and photographs, FileZilla is probably easier. EarthLink provides FTP access and documents these settings: 

  • Port: 21  

  • Password: your EarthLink hosting password  

  • Transfer mode: Passive  

  • Remote website directory: /public  

You can then drag your website files from your computer into the remote /public folder. 

 

I recommend doing this before replacing your existing site 

Because toapayohvets.com is already an established website, don't immediately overwrite the existing index.html. 

First, download/back up the existing website files. EarthLink's File Manager supports downloading files and its documentation recommends using backups when working on a site.  

If you want, tell me what you see after you log into EarthLink Control Center (or send me a screenshot), and I can walk you through exactly which button/folder to click to upload your new HTML file without damaging the existing Toa Payoh Vets website.
