Does anyone know how I can show my client the site I’m designing without uploading it live? The client lives in another state so having her look at it over my shoulder isn’t an option.

Just upload it to a sub-folder on your server, for example: www.yourdomain/test/

Or make a free www.dropbox.com account, place the website in the public folder, copy the public link for the index.html file and give that to the client.

I must have done something wrong because after I set up the TEST folder on my server and tried to upload it I got a message that said that I didn’t have permission to access my own folder.

Hmm. Sounds as though you need to adjust something there; it might be an idea to look on the host’s web site to see if there are instructions, or ring them, or perhaps someone else here on the list will be able to tell you how to do it yourself. Not me though, I’m afraid …

I assume you created the folder on your server using an FTP program
like Fetch. If so, can you transfer any files to that “TEST” folder
using the FTP program?

You can also do this by creating a sub folder in FW in your ‘normal’ site ie
Leave this folder empty and carry out a normal upload of your site. This will create the ‘test’ folder on the server for you.
Then in the upload dialogue box of the clients FW doc you would use
for the Directory setting.
with the correct username and password for your own site.
All the client files will then be uploaded into ‘test’ where the client can access them.
If you want to password protect this folder so that only your client can access them, then most hosting control panels offer the option to ‘Password Protect Directories’. This allows you to set a user/password combo on a folder.
This is what it looks like in a typical hosting control panel http://www.deltadzine.net/cpanel.html
