Sorry, I'm sure this is a dumb question, but I am new to the world of web programming. I am trying to update the content on a couple of pages of my site. I went into the CNC file manager and edited the content there. Somehow, it worked on one page. On the other page the updates can be viewed within the CNC file manager, but on my actual site the old version is still there. Please let me know how to make the changes visible on the web. Thanks.

try pressing Ctrl + F5 to make sure you are not viewing a cached copy of the page

Upload a new "something.htm" file (that does not exist yet), to make sure you have the right connection.
To override the cache:
* control-F5 (Windows programs), or
* tools / clear private data, or tools / delete browsing history or edit / empty cache, etc.
* the real deal: add "?x=123456" to the URL,
where 123456 is a random string you haven't used before.
bombman,
You may want to review this Knowledgebase Article regarding the index file for your web site.

Your home page must be named index. (htm, html or other possibilities) in order for it to show as the default page for your site.
