 * I was following instructions on self hosting wordpress.com to wordpress.org with
   [http://www.lynda.com](http://www.lynda.com) online tutorial- (excellent) site
   however, after successfully transferring my files using Filezilla, i can only
   see the root directory. Not quite sure how to proceed.
 * My hosting service is [http://www.hostsg.com/hosting/budget-hosting.php](http://www.hostsg.com/hosting/budget-hosting.php).
 * Can anyone help?
 * txs

 * Did you upload the entire wordpress folder or just its content? Is Filezilla 
   configured to show **all** files?

 * Can you see them using Filezilla? Are you sure you uploaded WordPress to your
   web root folder (sometimes called public_html)?

 * hi i transferred the files to public_html and it worked, now trying to import
   my contents and got this message:
 * Import WordPress
    Before you can upload your import file, you will need to fix
   the following error:
 * Unable to create directory /home/oprc/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2011/06.
   Is its parent directory writable by the server?
 * Howdy! Upload your WordPress eXtended RSS (WXR) file and we’ll import the posts,
   pages, comments, custom fields, categories, and tags into this site.
 * Choose a WXR file to upload, then click Upload file and import.
