Cumulus ftp updates appearing in wrong directory!

Recently changed my web host and having problems with display of latest conditions. My website has to be in the public-html directory so I uploaded the web files having configured Cumulus for the ftp web host.

I have the Steelseries graphs working fine, although the graphs do not display when moused over.

The problem appears to be that the html files and images are appearing in the root directory rather than public_html although the ftp log suggests otherwise as below. :bash:
I have restarted Cumulus but no change. Any recent conditions shown have been manually uploaded not automatically. Any ideas please?

Thanks Roger

The error window is not useful for diagnosing ftp problems; you need to turn on ftp logging and look at ftplog.txt. You have almost certainly specified an incorrect ftp directory,and the ftp log will show an error when an attempt is made to change to the directory you have specified. Relative paths (without a leading slash) are always safer than absolute paths (with a leading slash) and you may find that just specifying "public_html" works OK, but this all depends on how your ftp server and your ftp account is set up.

I have the same message with the problem that is sending me the graphical FTP hum.png. Where you can be the problem?
thanks

You've quoted a message from me which tells you what you need to do to help find the problem where uploaded files don't go to the directory that you expect (turn on ftp logging and look at ftplog.txt), and what the likely cause is (incorrect ftp directory configured in Cumulus).
