It might be the browser cache needing to be emptied in your browser or it might be the cache files on the ntl web caches. Can you see the new file via ftp or explorer?
Try ctrl + F5 to force the new page to load if not then clear your temporary internet files and try again.
If that doesn't work try pointing explorer here

Thanks Paul I can see it there on the upload page when I click on it it appears but when I load the home page it still shows the old one. Does that make sense !
Yep that makes sense, we had the same problem when I updated chimaeras webpage, it took 2 days for the file to update on our local webcache.
Have you tried closing the browser, clear the temporary internet files, open the browser and ctrl+F5 to try to force a new version of the page to load?
What is the address of the page by the way?
Hello Mike, is there by any chance an index.html already there on your webspace when you are uploading an index.htm? These are two completely different files and I believe that a browser always goes for index.html (which could be your old page).
If I were you, I'd save your home page as .html then upload it, then if there is already one there it will overwrite it for you.

Almost right, it's the web server that does this - of you connect to it and don't specify a file - it normally has a set of document names to check [in order] and it will use the first one it finds.

I did wonder about the htm vs html ending in the original post
Mike, when you uploaded the new index page did you get a message about overwriting a file? I always leave that option switched on in my ftp software etc as it's easy to mis-label a file and get into that situation.
