hyperlinking problem

I am trying to add hyperlinks to directories to my web
sites so I can go from Publisher98 to Publisher2002. I
have been using Publisher98.

About a month ago, I created a directory on my web site,
loaded the pages and image files to it, linked to it,
added the new link to my publisher document, saved as
html. Everything worked perfectly. But I had a series
of health problems so I never got it uploaded. A couple
of weeks ago, I got back to it. Now, the new link does
not work. When I save as html, I get messages that it is
not a valid link.

The crazy thing is that there is another link to a
directory in the web site that works:

http://washrag.tripod.com/blog/ works
http://washrag.tripod.com/SURVEYB/ does not.

I copied the first to my address field and I can link to
it. I copy the second to my address field and it does
not work. If, however, I copy the first to the address
field and insert "SURVEYB" for "blog", it links.

I checked the html code, and the blog link is there, the
SURVEYB link is not.

I suspect that in the meantime, my Publisher98 has been
hit by hackers.

If anybody knows any other explanation and has
instructions as to how to fix this problem, let me know,
as I always hate to restore anything, it just takes time.

Thanks if anyone can help.

I can't tell even after reading this over twice, what it is you are asking
or having trouble with. If you are having trouble with understanding a
folder structure I'd suggest reading
http://www.davidbartosik.com/pub2002/pub2002_27.htm . If you are having
trouble with uploading I'd suggest the tutorial at
