I need webpage help
So I've been tinkering with Dreamweaver MX, smartftp & filezilla. I practiced making a "under construction" page just to grasp the basic idea of the program.
Then I decided to purchase and nice, simple template for about $20. I downloaded the template into dreamweaver as prescribed in the directions. Once everything had been uploaded from my hardrive to dream weaver, I inputted my FTP info into dream weaver and tried to make things happen from there.
This failed after many attempts. I have no idea what to do now or how in the hell I can customize this piece of **** template once I get it into my server.

Yes I am getting an error.
As the 'status' progress bar progresses to 1/4 of the way I get this error:
An FTP error has occurred - cannot make connection to host.
The remote host cannot be found.

It asks for ACCESS, FTP Host, Host directory, Login and PW
Then it has options below which I have the option of checking:
-Use passive FTP *box*
-Use Firewall *box*
-Use secure FTP *box*
-Automatically upload files from server on save *box*
-Enable file check in and check out *box*

Usually there is an error in the folder you are trying to connect to. Or your account isn't set up yet.
Did your webhost give you all of the details?
