After doing some reading in an old version 6 book on GoLive I found that I could also drag & drop in the FTP client which I had forgotten was possible. Went in via the FTP client in GL and tried that. Everything appears to have been transferred as all the files show up in the FTP client. Have not gone to the site to verify as I may have some other things to do before it’s truly up and running.
I don’t know the ‘why’ but I do know GL is particular about files in that it keeps track of date/file creation info. Perhaps that was the issue - not sure.
Quick question to close out this point in my progress. Now that I have my index.html in can I delete the index2.html file that was originally there?
Thanks to those who offered help/suggestions. I may have other questions if I get stuck again. Hope all is well.
