Okay, my ISP's FTP access only works when entering the user name, and not
the whole email address, when logging in. If you are not getting any errors
logging in, and Computer is showing the site as blank, try right-clicking
in in the window and choosing Refresh. Right-click the window again and
choose New > Folder. Does New Folder show up? Also, right-click the window
and choose Properties, and when the Properties window pops up, Copy the
Location, and then open IE7, and Paste it into IE7's address box. Does
going to that address in IE7 work? Is the folder "New Folder" there?
