If you create a new site in Freeway (i.e., don’t add on to the site you’ve already created) then you simply set this up in the Upload dialog when you publish the site. I’ve used NS a fair amount for hosting, and they allow you to create multiple FTP accounts, each “jailed” to a separate htdocs folder. Likewise, when you add another site to your existing hosting account, you can choose where the htdocs folder is for that site. (It does not need to be called htdocs, in fact, that’s just what they call their default folder.)
So in Freeway’s Upload dialog, you would simply enter the new username and password for the second server, and your files will go where they belong. If you do choose to use the original login, you will need to add the correct path to your Directory field in the Upload dialog. If your server looks like this:
your_account_home
htdocs
index.html
Resources
other_site
index.html
Resources
And your original site is set in Upload to
htdocs
Then in the second document, you would change the Directory field to read
htdocs/other_site
But your best bet is to create a different FTP account for each virtual server, and never share those login credentials between sites. If you did that, you could leave the Directory field entirely blank, as the user for the second site would be jailed into the second site’s folder on the server.

Challenge putting mutilple sites on server
After some help from the kind folks on this forum I have my site published. Currently it is published through Network Solutions and ends up residing in the /htdocs folder. I then pointed the domain name to that folder and everything is good.
My next challenge is uploading a different site for a project we are working on. I am guessing I have to create separate folders with the /htdocs folder for the files from each site and then point the domain name to each of these?
How do I set this up within Freeway once I have the folders set up on the server.
Thanks
