Starting page.

javascript:emoticon(':?') :?

How do you make it so that if you type in something it starts up with the page.

For example file name - index.html
And the website is - example.com

What I am saying is how do you make it so that when you click example.com it starts with index.html rather than having to go to example.com/index.html?

This has nothing at all to do with FTP. Whoever owns the webserver needs to set it up so that index.html is a valid default page.

The server oughta already have index.html set as your default starting page. What you need to do is make your page that you want to start with, then put it into the FTP program. After you have done this, re-name this page "index.html" then it should work. (Delete the orginal index.html also)
