I switched to BH a couple of months ago and have been revamping my site with SiteSpinner. I managed to get the first few pages up through FileZilla. Now I've finished the site and tried to upload it. Since I changed some things with my template, everything needs to be uploaded instead of just the additional pages.
So I go to FZ, highlight all my files, highlight my public_html directory and start the queue. Then I get a message saying a target file already exists, and asking me what to do. I clicked one of the "replace" options since I figured it would replace the old page with my new one.
What happened instead was ... I ended up with a list of files in my public directory that now have '0' for their size and show nothing online (yet I see all those fat little file size numbers on my own side of the transfer). My home page online just shows a list of files, but you get a blank page if you click on any of them. When I saw what was happening, I stopped the transfer so I wouldn't have oodles of empty files in space.
Any thoughts on what went wrong and how I can fix it (and keep from sabotaging myself the next time I change something)? What option should I have clicked when it noticed the same file name? Any help would be much appreciated!
