I have designed a website using HTML5 and now want publish it. But that website previously was built in ASP.NET. Now I want to upload my data, but there is no "public_html" folder. So how to upload my data??
Some hosts have a public_html folder to place your files inside while others do not. Just connect to the server and upload them to the folder like usual.

I have a .exe game in a folder (it's running without setup) and need to upload it to my hosting so it can view and run it inside my website WordPress page, is it possible?
No, it would be very stupid and unsafe to give browsers the control to run any binary executable via any webpage
Hi I have been learning how to design a website and it went ok but i tested it on localhost and everything is working as it should but i have been having some trouble with functionality when i have uploaded my files to my hosting provider Arvixe.
I've been trying to learn how to structure my website properly in the domain folders but i can't work out how it should be properly organised.
I have a Parent website, and subdomains that need to go together so for example -
Parentwebsite.com
Subdomain1.Parentwebsite.com
Subdomain2.Parentwebsite.com
Subdomain3.Parentwebsite.com
On my locahost test server i just created the websites individually and put them under the htdocs folder in XAMPP. However the folder structure for the Arvixe hosting is a lot different - it currently looks like this:

Am i laying out my folders correctly?
And also if i have PHP scripts for the website are they better suited to go into their own folder inside public html? Or they better suited to go directly into the public html folder?
Thanks in advance for any help :)
Your web host is using cPanel and it has typical directory structure which is quite different compared to your Local XAMPP environment.
Here's how cPanel stores the website files.
/home/cPanel-user/public_html ==> Main domain
/home/cPanel-user/public_html/addon-domain-directory ==> Addon domain
/home/cPanel-user/public_html/subdomain-directory ==> Sub-domain
To make your website accessible via web, upload your web content files to
/home/cPanel-user/public_html directory.
When you add a addon domain from cPanel, its web files will be stored at;
/home/cPanel-user/public_html/addon-domain-directory
When you add subdomain, its web files will be stored at;
/home/cPanel-user/public_html/subdomain-directory
I designed a slider through a free program and I am trying to figure out how to put it on my server. The instructions say this:
Step two is applying the html code in-between the body tags, which I have done.
The html is calling to this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="cssslidercode_files/csss_engine1/style.css">
I just don't understand how to add a folder from my computer's desktop into the server. What do I have to do?
I recommend using FileZilla, a very simple and famous FTP (file transfer protocol) client. With it, you can manage and upload and download files/folders from your server to your computer and vice-versa. See detailed instructions for using here.
Be aware that you gonna need some credentials from your web hosting provider, by default it would be ftp address, username and password.
If you don't want to use FileZilla or any other FTP programs,
Try zipping the folder, uploading it as a file and extracting it in the file manager.
I'm trying to make a simple four page website, all HTML with some CSS and images. This is my first site. After I'm done building the HTML documents, what do I need to upload them and get the site running?
In order to put up a website, you need a web hosting provider. So the first thing you need is a hosting provider. Make sure that your provider offers FTP access to your website. You will need to contact your hosting provider (http://webdesign.about.com/od/webhosting/f/blfaqwebhosting.htm) if you aren't sure.
Once you have a hosting provider, in order to connect by FTP you need some specific information:
your username
password
the host name or URL where you should upload files
your URL or web address (especially if it's different from the host name
You can get this information from your hosting provider if you aren't sure what it is.
Make sure your computer is connected to the internet and that your WiFi is working.
Open an FTP client. As I mentioned above, most computers come with a built-in FTP client, but these tend to be fairly hard to use. It's better to use a visual style editor so you can drag and drop your files from your hard drive to your hosting provider.

Best FTP Clients for Macintosh
Following the instructions for your client, put in your host name or the URL where you should upload your files.
If you try to connect to your hosting provider, you should be prompted for a username and password. Enter them in.
Switch to the correct directory on your hosting provider.
Select the file or files you want to load onto your website, and drag them to the hosting provider pane in your FTP client.
Visit the website to verify that your files uploaded correctly.
Tips:
Don't forget to transfer images and other multimedia files that are associated with your website, and put them in the correct directories.
It can often be easiest to just select the entire folder and upload all the files and directories at once. Especially if you have fewer than 100 files.

I am running a local host web-server for MediaWiki (XAMPP).
Typically, an upload special page is used to upload images. These images are stored in the WIKI_HOME/images folder and some records are inserted in the database.
I use this wiki on a local machine and for myself only. I need the speed so I tried to copy an image to WIKI_HOME/images instead of uploading it using the upload extensions. But it does not show up in the wiki. Is there any way to do it?
You can bulk upload images from the local server using the UploadLocal extension or the importImages.php script. You could set up importImages.php to run on a regular basis to import any images in a specific folder.
