Re: Publisher could not save the file to the web....

Ok, problem is solved!
I had gone through and checked pretty much everything that was listed below,
it wasn't until I tried to use SmartFTP to try and load my website that it
told me that my hosting compay/server had aborted the operation due to me
exceding my disk space!
Now the reason I hadn't checked that earlier was because I had already
thought of that so I had deleted my old website all together, not thinking
this one was much bigger and still would put me over the limit. So anyway
this morning I upgraded my account and all is good! What a relief, something
so simple!

Another thing that threw me was that my hosting company had just finished a
major server upgrade which closed everthing down for about 4 days!

Anyway thanks for your input it all did help as I was able to eliminate a
number of potential causes plus if I hadn't followed one of the steps to try
uploading using an external FTP client, I would still be pulling my hair out!

So Thanks to DavidF and DavidB
