Hey Joey,

If the site is stored on your computer, then you need to use Local Testing with BrowserStack. Here is their help documentation: http://www.browserstack.com/local-testing

In order to get a URL that BrowserStack can access, then you'll need to upload your site to a host of some variety. That's one reason why WorkSpaces are nice, because you get a URL.

Do you have your index.html saved in your directory? Once you do just make sure you are accessing it from the correct folder/location in your FTP. Some FTP's allow you to right click the index.html and copy the HTTP path others don't. I hope this was helpful.
