When you connect to your site via FTP you arrive in your home directory and need to change to the folder 'public_html' where your web site files reside. If you are using a Windows based FTP client such as WS_FTP you can simply set it to default to the publc_html directory. If you are using Macromedia Dreamweaver or Microsoft FrontPage you can also set a default startup directory in the Web site settings.
