Re: filename is too long or contains illegal caracters

Ted,

Uploading has changed a bit with Vista and IE7. Both FTP and HTTP uploading
protocol has changed.

As per the article you quoted: Prepare, publish, and maintain your Publisher
Web site:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/HA100947601033.aspx
There is a section about how you Publish changes to your site, and give two
sets of directions at the bottom of the article:

In Windows Vista:
On the File menu, click Publish to the Web.
In the Publish to the Web dialog box, in the navigation pane, click
COMPUTER.
In the file list, double-click the shortcut to the folder on the Web server
or network server where you published your Web site.
Double-click the folder where you want to save the file.
In the File name box, type the name of the file you are updating, and then
click Save.


In Windows XP:
On the File menu, click Publish to the Web.
In the Publish to the Web dialog box, click My NETWORK PLACES.
Double-click the shortcut to the folder on the Web server or network server
where you published your Web site.
Double-click the folder where you want to save the file.
In the File name box, type the name of the file you are updating, and then
click Save.


Note the difference in XP...Click "Computer" vs "My Network Places". Try the
different approach and see if that helps.

When I try to Publish to the web using Publisher 2007 on Vista, , I get
the
message saying: "the filename you have entered is too long or contains
illegal characters...". The URL I use is "http://confluencelions.org"; (I
also tried "http//www.confluencelions.org" which is the format that is
shown
in the Publisher help text for "Prepare, publish, and maintain your
publisher
Web site"). I use exactly the same URL in Publisher 2007 on my older
computer with XP and everthing works fine. Is there a problem with
Pubisher
on Vista?

I use Frontpage extensions on my web host and I made sure my dial-up
network
connection is working fine.
