Actually the files are at xampp>htdocs>ZenCart>downloaded_templates which I plan to delete or move outside of the ZenCart folder when I get the templates installed. I just wanted them close so they wouldn't be too far to move and I could remember where they were . I'm 56 afterall and forget things. I'll go back and read better on the readme files, but mainly they were telling me where to put them on the live server and, though made since for a live install, didn't make a lot of since for a local install. I do use Filezilla and have for several years and several upgrades. I like it and am comfortable using it. I've sent them an email about this, but don't expect to hear back until Monday as most sane people don't work on the weekend if they don't have to.

As far as the choice of installing Zen Cart using cPanel / Fantastico as opposed to doing a manual install. I was planning on the manual install. I guess my point was that HostGator has Zen Cart on their list on Fantasctico which makes me thing that the settings at HostGator are set for an optimal install of ZenCart.

Thanks,
