calling pages from within a Fastmail website

I'm having a problem that is driving me crazy because it seems totally simple and I can't figure it out.

The problem is calling pages from within a website hosted by Fastmail. What makes it frustrating is that the function works fine with one website; I just don't seem to be able to replicate the identical function with a new site.

Specifically: on the webpage www.bostonsciencelectures.com I have several links to files hosted by Fastmail (I think of these as 'local files'). An example might be "Selected Groups, Clubs, Societies, & Meetups". (http://fhapgood.fastmail.fm/meetups01.html). When you click on that link on the index page the list of Groups opens correctly. (The file itself is in the public/ subdirectory but "public" does not appear to need to be added to the file address.)

I have recently acquired a new URL: www.brightonathome.org. I am also hosting those files on Fastmail. (Also in the "public/" subdir.) I have a list of non-local URLs on that page and they are all work. But I do not seem to be able to come up with the magic formula that allows me to connect a link from this index page to a local file -- a file hosted by Fastmail..

Amazingly enough not even "http://fhapgood.fastmail.fm/meetups01.html" (or for that matter "http://fhapgood.fastmail.fm/public/meetups01.html") opens properly. Clicking on that link when the link is on "http://www.brightonathome.org" appears to open an empty page. It works fine on "http://:www.bostonsciencelectures. com" and stops working when I move it to "http://www.brightonathome.org". What is going on?? I know I doing something very simple wrong. What should I be looking at?? What is going on?

You do not appear to have a folder named "public"

The link labeled 'Selected Groups, Clubs, Societies, & Meetups' on the page 'http://fhapgood.fastmail.fm/site02.html' and the link labeled 'Meetups without public' on the page 'http://fhapgood.fastmail.fm/brightonathome.html' both seem to work for me, perhaps you have fixed the issue in the 2 hours since your original post?

I do have what looks like a folder by that name but perhaps it only looks like one.
I would not be surprised.

But thanks for looking.

Nope. I went out shopping and when I came back it was working. Weird.
