Hi, I'm following these instructions: http://support.smartyhost.com.au/articl ... wordpress/
I'm at Number 7 and there is no www in the remote site directory.

(yes i am completely new to all this stuff and finding my way so bare with me)

I'm with smartyhost.
my current website is through wix.com and i want to create a new one downloading a theme i have for wordpress.
I have a mac laptop (does this change things?)
I have followed the instructions as the link above states including the ftp settings.
filezilla has connected to the server correctly too.
now I'm lost, there is no www so if i drag everything over it just errors one after the other after another...
it won't let me add a directory regardless what i call it and just says 550 permission denied.... help!

i might need some simple help here PLEASE.

if there is anything i haven't explained that you need to know in order to help please let me know.

thanks

Hey Sarapower

The www folder is in the public folder.
Do you have that or could you post a screenshot of it here?

Hey you ! why you don't install in your local. After that, backup code and database to the host.
