HTML is not showing via FTP to wordpress - html

I am having a very annoying problem.
Edits that I make to an HTML file are not showing up on my site. I am using file zilla and when I upload css, it works perfectly on my live site. But for a html file I am editing it is not working. When I look at the page source it shows the space where my edit is, but its blank where the html should be.
Its not my cache, I have been using multiple compluters/ phones in different locations over the past weekend. My CSS file was uploaded perfectly, and when I redownload the html file from the website server back to my local computer the edit is showing!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try a different ftp client and re-input your ftp credentials and double check that the directory paths are lined up.
FY - transmit and fetch have free trials.

Html elements not registering when updates uploaded to cPanel

I am using cPanel on BlueHost to make a website for a client. I have uploaded my files to the public.html folder and everything is live and looks good. But when I make changes and upload the files again.. some of the new html elements that I have added dont show up on mobile. They show up on desktop so I know its working and registering but idk why it wont show up on my phone. Any ideas? Im not sure if its a cPanel problem. I dont think its a Sass problem either. Do mobile devices take longer to recognize changes on a hosted site? Any help would be great. Thanks.
Thanks for joining the community. I'll be glad to help you or find a solution.
If you are just copying and pasting the files from your computer to the cpannel keep in mind that you need to change the path of some files in order for them to grab the style or any external sheet, I had a similar problem when uploading my website

Web Hosting not Updating HTML Code

I just joined 000webhost today and made my first site. I started by making a simple text “Hello World!”, and when I uploaded the index.html file, it worked! However, when I try to change the HTML code in my text editor (Atom), save it, and refresh my website, nothing changes. The only way to get my website page to update and show the changes I made in the HTML code is to delete the file from the file manager, and then upload it again. What do I need to fix in order to get my website to update after making changes to the HTML code in my text editor? I also cannot see any changes in the CSS that I add. Even if I remove it from the file manager and upload it again.

You may be editing the file locally and having to reupload/overwrite to display the changes; you’re not editing in real-time; I recommend get a program such as FlashFXP which is an amazing FTP client; you can choose atom as your default editor; right click and edit directly on the server so that updates sync instantly; for now it appears either your host won’t allow live editing via FTP or your just editing it on your local machine

Thanks so much! This works perfectly.

Some weebly features don't work when exporting to HTML and hosting on a different server

Recently I've been tasked with redesigning a website for the current company I'm working at. I've been using weebly to make the site, and then exporting the HTML to be re-hosted on the company's servers.
However, I've noticed that some functionality in weebly's code has stopped working. I imagine this might be due to weebly hosting some elements on their own servers, but this is merely a beginners best guess.
1. The picture for the logo on the banner does not appear once the HTML is rehosted
For comparison, here's the site while hosted on weebly:
http://mjmacoustique.weebly.com/
and the site on the company's servers:
http://www.mjm.qc.ca/redesign2015/
When weebly hosts, the ''MJM'' image should be on the top left and function as a return to home page button when clicked. However, when it's hosted on the company's server, the image is not found.
2. On Firefox, the background image of the home page is replaced with an all black background
When opened in firefox, it fails to load the background image of the main page.
Any help or solutions to these problems would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
I can help with question #1: the logo is hosted on weebly's servers, but in the html it's written in a shortcut method like this example: /uploads/2/6/8/5/26851316/1434298489.png"
the easy workaround would be to keep the weebly version of the site working, in in the html change the src value of the missing images to something like this http://mjmacoustique.weebly.com/uploads/2/6/8/5/26851316/1434298489.png
So you haveto add the http://YOURSITE.weebly.com before all the src values of your images.
otherwise, just load all the images you need on a blank page of the site on your servers, copy image urls of those and replace the urls in the html with that.
Hope that helps?
The firefox issue might also be solved if all your src values are linked correctly but I cannot be sure about that.
When I tried exporting a site from weebly, some assets were missing from the zip it produced. This resulted in some images failing to appear because they simply weren't there. I don't know how often this happens (or if it happens only for some sites), but weebly's export feature definitely seems to have bugs.
I worked around this by using wget to recursively fetch the content that weebly was hosting. Then I hand-copied the missing assets (and only the missing assets) from the directory structure saved by wget and merged them into the directory structure from weebly's export zip. This is time-consuming, but necessary since the directory structure fetched by wget includes dynamically-generated content (meta data for weebly's editor, assets with decorated names, etc) that you probably don't want in the content you host elsewhere.

How to Edit .Aspx Files?

I am trying to edit the following page: http://tktruck.com/contact.aspx in order to get rid of the cat photos.
Apparently there is no contact.aspx file in the FTP, so I am having trouble figuring out how to edit this page's content.
Some additional information:
I have access to the back-end (FTP files). I have searched the FTP for contact.aspx, and I cannot find the file. I have tried searching the entire website for tags with the appropriate sources, as well. I found some code with the image tags, and removed those tags. When I uploaded the code to the server, the images were still there (and still are).
Does anyone know what I have to do to edit an aspx file, or at least have an idea on how to remove these photos?
You need to get access to the server in which the website is hosted.

Downloading the souce of a reddit thread to save locally. The HTML is the same but the page display is all messed up

I'm downloading one page from reddit and saving it locally:
http://www.reddit.com/r/TheRedPill/comments/2uomrv/meta_sjws_are_reportedly_working_with_admins_to/
The HTML is identical in my test.html file, but when I open the local file in a browser, the page display is all messed up. Right Nav disappears, etc.
Normally I'd assume this is a CSS issue (and it definitely could be) but there are only three CSS files in the document, and they are all hosted remotely on www.redditstatic.com -- so they should still be working, right?
Is there something else I'm missing? Is redditstatic somehow smart enough to not serve CSS when I request it from my local machine?
What else could be causing the display issues? How should I troubleshoot?
Reddit uses external CSS, JavaScript, etc. to make it look as feel as it is. The website won't function correctly unless you download them all, even locally because the HTML doesn't know where to find the called file.
