Re: Publish a Web site by using ftp with Publisher 2007

Spike! Check out www.glasshappyonline.com!!!! I uploaded the files within
"index.files" not the folder the first time. All of the files within
"index.files" were not in a folder, which they needed to be. Got It! When I
make corrections, which I see that I need to do. Do I follow this same
process each time? If so, I guess the new files would replace the old files
on the server?The pictures are loading slowly. Is that because the original
pictures are 1224x1776? If so, should I reduce the size before I put them on
my website? You are awesome! Debi

You up loaded the "index_files"
Did you also upload or create the folder "index_files" on the server?
In order for the site to work you must have all those files in that folder.

Did you upload the "index.htm" file in the root directory? This is your
home page that you see when you open the site.

Hang in there Debi, we will get it working for you.

Thank you for your patience with me and your help. Once I understand the
process I will be fine. I thought I could upload the files from Publisher
2007. Now I understand why they were not. I downloaded Filezilla and
filled
out host, username and password. Then info was filled automatically into
the
“Filename” box on the right. I went to the” local site” box and selected
where I saved the index. files. I double clicked on “index.files” and it
opened all of the files into the “Filename” box. I selected all of the
files
in the “Filename” box, then selected “upload”. It was uploading the
files. I
went to my website and there is a 403 Forbidden error. I have left the
site
as is so that you could see the error. I went to the GoDaddy Hosting to
see
if all of those files had uploaded into File Manager and they have. Do I
need to do something on the GoDaddy?

After you have created your web pages

Example "Documents/Publisher Files

Do not select Tools map a drive at this point
> Select Save
You should have the index.htm files and a sub folder "index_files"
containing the supporting pages and files. This is the default for 2007.

The next step is to FTP those files to the godaddy server
I looked at http://glasshappyonline.com/
Is this the site that you are working on? I also see that it was not
created using publisher.

If you are not familiar with FTP, Godaddy recommends using FileZilla for
transferring files form your computer to the web site. This is a free
program and is available at
http://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client

I want to use Publisher 2007 since I upgraded from Publisher 2000.
OS is XP
Brower: Explorer
URL: Do you mean ftp://glasshappyonline.com
Hosting: godaddy
I don't know what you mean by tried to publish to the web designating a
folder on your hard drive for the htm files? Can you explain so that I
can
try this?
I appreciate your response.

I am a bit confused with your statement
"when I use Publisher 2000 I can publish to the ftp,....."

Are you still using Publisher 2000, or are you using a newer version?
What OS are you using?
What Brower are you using?
What is your URL?
Who is hosting the web space?

Have you tried to publish to the web designating a folder on your hard
drive
for the htm files?
If so does the site look OK when you open it from there?
If it looks OK there have you tried to FTP those files it to your
server?

I have followed the directions from the website to publish to my
website.
I
have opened file then Clicked Publish to web, then went to tools and
clicked
on Map Network Drive. I selected numerous drives, but I cannot
select
"Finish". I can only select cancel.. What do I need to do? I have
also
done
the following. Selected File, Publish to Website, save, then a
window
comes
up "Publishing to HTML" but this doen't publish to my ftp. I have
also
done
this File, publish to website, save in, selected ftp://ftp......,
FTP
logon
box comes up and I put in my password, OK, ftp://ftp.... is in Save
In,
save,
box comes up saying Publishing HTML files, another box comes up
saying
Saving. Nothing happens so I cancel. Box comes up saying: Publisher
couldn't
save the file to the web. Check URL or Network connection and try
again.
I
am so frustrated because when I use Publisher 2000 I can publish to
the
ftp,
but the images are blurry and disfigured. Any help would be greatly
appreciated as I have spent hours creating my sight and trying to
Publish
it.
Thanks!
