    I want to be able to get from www.example1.com to www.example1.com/example2.

    Or even just to type in www.example1.com/example2 and have it go there, but it says I set it up wrong. I can get to example1.com, but the link for 2 doesn't work.

    I set up a link on the example1 site which directs to the index file for example2 in my dreamweaver 8. I have the folder which holds all the image files and the index for example2 within the folder for example1, and it links alright when I view a test page within dreamweaver. I just don't know how to upload this, please help!

    With Dreamweaver,
    1. first you need to add the folder as a site in the menu Site > New Site....
    2. Open the Advanced tab
    3. Fill in the details for "Local info" page
    4. Fill in the details for "Remote info" page. This will enable you to use FPT to upload the files.
    5. After adding the folder as site, now you can see the files on the right panel.
    6. Right click on the new site "Site - path to example1 folder" including folder example2 and the index file of the example1.
    7. Click Put. The whole folder will be uploaded to your websever.
    8. Test.

    Goodluck
