It is extremely important to organize the location of all the files involved with the Web page, especially for large sites. Organized file structures will allow maximal space on the ftp site and will be much easier to update. This may be accomplished by either of two methods:

A.

Create a main folder for the home page, and folders within this folder for each of the secondary and tertiary pages. For each directory, include pictures, shockwave files and anything else related to that Web page only.



B.

Create a main folder with all the Web pages and directories that are content-specific. By creating subdirectories with sections like "pictures," "css styles," "java" or "shockwave," you will easily be able to look for specific files that need to be removed or updated.

Of course, there are many other methods that work just as well; the important thing is to keep everyting organized. The files on the ftp site should have logical names, and no files should be uploaded that are not used in at least one of the pages of your site.
