#1 by kingjowl

HI i use Smart Ftp client and i noticed that the remote server side is looking a little messy an i want to clean it up to make it easyer to navigate.
if i drag and drop everything into folders on that side will it corupt the web pages on the internet because im moving everything around or will it just work fine?
if you have no idea what im getting at just let me know and ill do trial and lose everything
thanks

If you put your files in sub directories they will not work as before. This is because it will cause problems with your addressing.

We will illustarte using a sample of code taken from your site...

<div style="position: absolute; width: 100px; height: 100px; z-index: 23; left: 24px; top: 17px; visibility: visible" id="background">
<img border="0" src="newground.jpg" width="947" height="884"></div>

This code calls an image, if you were to place the image in a directory called "your directory" you would need to change the src part of a tag to...

<img border="0" src="yourdirectory/newground.jpg" width="947" height="884"></div>

It as a good idea to have all your files structured but it may take quite some time to go through your code and make all the changes. It's up to you really.

For more information on this area may we suggest some reading about relative and absolute addressing.

Hope this helps
