Re: Missing FTP link

Of course, all this may be irrelevant since my site has the same problem as
'goldplating'. I have PUB web forms but none of them work.

I know the FPSE files are available on the host, but I did not realize that
Pub would not recognize the forms it created when I loaded the file in the
format suggested by the program!. How foolish of me. (See, I did what you
said and looked at the other queries - see what happened!)

Should I redo the form or just upload the site in HTTP? Or start over in FP
programming. Could THAT be the reason the links don't work?

I give up.

You completely lost me on that one. Change what back?

I tried to load it to the site but got the error msg "cannot connect to
the
FTP server on the computer named 2-Lions.com". It continues with: "This
error
message is usually associated with an attempt to access an FTP (File
Transfer
Protocol) web site through a fire wall/proxy server and the proxy settings
are not set correctly to gain access." (I followed the MS link and there
are
no help files on this error...)

Nothing has changed on this computer, least of all the firewalls; I get no
site logon option and the files keep ending up on my computer. I managed
to
get an update loaded by getting onto the site itself and copying the files
to
the host. There are some interesting page names now, but at least the edit
is
up.

This cannot be the proper procedure. The shortcut that is supposed to be
on
my network places doesn't exist! (per Pub: "when you publish a Web site to
a
location on the Web or a network, a shortcut to the Web server or network
server will appear in My Network Places.")

[NB: I freed the page links, reduced the image sizes on home page and
reduced all page banners - now minus the fade I had. Hopfully the links
work
noaw and it loads faster.]

I have a web site awaiting an update. According to the Pub help files,
Pub
should have created a link to the site in my "Network Places"
folderwhen I
uploaded the file. It didn't. PUB keeps trying to publish the site to
my
own
computer - it does not even look on line.

I spent almost an hour on the phone with the site tech support trying
every
possible avenue. Pub isn't a big web site editor so no one was able to
help -
and he did try everyone in his office!

Does anyone have a fix or workaround for this? Or a reason for the link
not
being created in the first place? I don't want this battle every time I
need
to update the site, so a fix is preferable!
