I am completely new to ASP. I was given a site in a large folder, with all asp extensions. I transfered the whole folder via my ftp client to my ftp. Now i am wondering what to do with the index.htm that was already there, and what to do with the new index.asp that was previously there. So in summary, what i want to know is: After i transfered the whole site into the ftp...whats next?
Sounds like the default page is supposed to be index.asp. Why not rename your index.htm file to something elseand see if you can pull up the site.

If your site is written in ASP, then the extension of your index pages need to be .asp. Rename the index page of your site back to index.asp and if you had another file there that was named index.htm - then rename that one to something else, e.g., index_old.htm or delete it. Check out the list in the knowledge base article: http://kb.discountasp.net/article.aspx?id=10128 This gives the list of default documents in rank order. So if you have a file called index.htm and index.asp - then the server will serve index.htm because its rank is higher. If your site default page is supposed to be index.asp - then get rid of the index.htm (by renaming it or deleting it).
