Re: Missing FTP link

You have the links to the instructions about uploading in HTTP protocol, and
the link to David Bartosik's forms article, from my response to goldplating.
You have all the information you need in those articles.

When you are ready to upload via HTTP, then you will want to delete all your
old files off your site. Alternatively, do away with the form and just put
in a link to email you, and continue to use FTP uploading protocol.

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.

uploading articles here:

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!
