I have a website I'm about to lose at Geocities (I've saved all the files locally). It is all my own HTML code. When I transferred it all to my new website at ucoz.com, it transferred a single file only, the index.html file. All the other files (almost all .html) were not transferred. I tried several times, with the same result. So then I tried to do the manual cut-and-paste method, but I seem to have no control over what the resulting file is named or where it's saved. My pages have many links to each other, so I don't want to have to edit all the file names (the links are almost all relative, not absolute).

The system seems to want to name the files with some index number, like 0-10 -- I need to save by the actual file name. Help?

Is uCoz the place for me, or do I completely misunderstand what's going on?

Stephen, you cannot upload html files form FTP.

you have to upload your pages from Control panel manually.

Can I control what I want the files to be named? Adding a file and pasting in my content yields a file with a number, not a name. How do I give them the name I want?

Stephen, if you upload your files to File Manager they have the names you have given them.

I'm not "man", "sir" or whatever. I'm female!
About signatures, screenshots etc...

Ah. That seems to work. Thanks! ("Adding" a file just confused things.)

I can't figure out how to use the file manager. I have all my HTML code from my old site in word docs. I can't figure out how to creat a new index, create new files etc.
The only thing I've been able to do is upload two images. What if I want to add new pages? What if I want to update? How do I create a whole new index? There's no file create option. When it ways upload file exactly what am I supposed to be uploading?

Hawk4186, your current 'index' is inside Customize Design under 'Site Pages'.

Replace code.
