You are up and hosted on 1&1, so you'll need to download the files to
local, change them, and upload them again to the right place.

I found that filezilla works fairly well for ftp. I have found, though,
that sometimes you have to actually delete the file on the server before
uploading the changed file. Strange behavior and I don't know if that
was a filezilla issue or a 1&1 issue.

What did you use to upload the files the first time
