Vista - Why does vista hide your owne files from you? How can this be sto

For several years, I have used a third party FTTP host site. They provide an
online module that allows you to move files between the remote server and the
local computer. Everything is shown transfering, but when you go to view the
files, access them through windows or another software, they don't appear.

I know the files have been downloaded, I can see it in the fttp window, but
they are not visible any other way.

Is this a unique problem?
Has anyone overcome this problem?

Please help, I am very discourage with this OS so far!

Where have you told the program to put them?

I have tried:
Documents,
Downloads,
desktop,
created new folders in Documents. I have tried to unhide the files, and
still see nothing.

Thanks Dave

Hi, Mike.

No, no. Dave didn't ask where are you looking, hoping to stumble across the
files. He asked where YOU TOLD Vista to put them.

Vista always asks you where to Save downloaded files. It usually defaults
to wherever you told it to put the previous download, but it gives you a
chance to specify a new location. So the question Dave asks is still
unanswered:
Try to download the file again. This time, READ the screens that pop up.
Don't just blindly click a box to get the download started quickly. When
you see where the program plans to put the file this time, carefully note
the entire pathname, starting with C: (or whichever drive it will use);
unless you've changed this since the last time you downloaded a file, this
is where you probably will find that previous download.

If that doesn't work, please tell us the name of your FTTP (or is that FTP -
File Transfer Protocol?) program. Some of us may be familiar with it.
