I get "Error 403: Forbidden!" message when I try to access a just uploaded web site. According to WISE FTP all the files are there. I have no idea what's going on due to lack of experience.

Can anyone provide clues.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

There might be two reasons that cause this problem:

1. You did not set sufficient access rights to the files.

To change access rights of your uploaded files, right-click on the corresponding files (on the FTP server) in WISE-FTP, and select "Properties". You can now edit the access rights in the dialog box that opens.

2. There is no file index.html or index.htm on your web server, or this file is located in a subfolder.

This files is the start page of your domain. The web server uses it when opening your domain (http://www.my-site.com). This file needs to be located in the folder or root folder of your webserver.
