OHWebI want WordPress to power my root site on Bluehost, where my site is hosted, without moving all the WordPress files over to root, so I am following the instructions here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory
I downloaded and installed the FileZilla FTP client so I could copy the index.php and .htaccess files to root, and I set up an FTP account through Bluehost. I am able to log in successfully inside FileZilla but my remote directory is empty. I'm logging in correctly, I think, because the last message in the FileZilla "status" window is "directory listing successful". But there's no way my directory could be empty, because I already have my wordpress blog up & running in the sub-directory in which I installed wordpress, so there should be tons of files there...but there aren't. The wordpress sub-directory isn't even showing up. I've checked http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_FileZilla but it doesn't seem to cover this case.
Here's what FileZilla shows when I connect (minus site name and ip address):
Status: Resolving address of http://ftp.MYSITE.com
