Newbie needs advice...

[MidwestMaven]

Hello everyone!
Just getting our Bluehost site up and starting to function,
and I have some questions on it already.

Now, I normally hate Front Page, but using it to save myself some time, and get some rollover coding that would otherwise take me a long time by hand. However, things are not displaying properly for me.
I guess I'll plod through that a little later...

Is there a way to delete and/or more more than one file at a time?
When I first started FTP, by the time I figured it out (first experience with FTP) I didn't watch what folder I was putting them into, and have some extra junk I don't need. I'd like to delete a bunch of jpg files, but have been going one at a time. Bleah! I couldn't find anything helpful in the Help section, so came here.

Any ideas?


(Also, is everyone pretty happy with their hosting here? I chose this for an e-commerce site, based on the ads & pricing, but the outages threads are a little scary, as well as all the notes on slow loading pages. I already have that - don't need another slow loader! ;)

Also, stoopit question, but things in BlueHost aren't the same as my last hosting place - does the main index page need to go under the public folder to be seen? There was already an index page under the first file systems (NOT under the public folder), so not sure which one will be the one the public sees upon viewing the home page. Thanks for humoring me...

Bluehost is pretty fast. Anyways if your using FTP highlight all the files and than push delete... Or use CONTROL click the select titles to pick individual titles and exclude others.
