Re: Website Publishing-FTP saved file not going to my website

To be honest, I ran out of patience when he started two new threads and
didn't respond to his first...my bad.

Yes, you are correct in that with the new versions of Publisher you Publish
to the web and direct your output to a folder on your local drive, and then
ftp up to the server. This is explained in the articles I referenced and can
be done in Windows Explorer, but it is easier in FileZilla. This is one of
those times where using software specifically designed for a particular
operation is the best choice <grin>.

Part of his problem is that he was used to Pub 2000 where you used "save as
a web page" to produce the web files, and you could "save" directly to the
server from Publisher via IE, whether you were using HTTP or FTP uploading
protocols. That is no longer possible with IE7 and Vista.

Trying to figure out exactly what this means;

"When I save the website to my FTP location on my
computer, it saves but evidently doesn't go to my website"

You don't save to an ftp location...you save to a folder then ftp the
files up to the server...no??

I wonder if he's saving to a folder and expecting it to automatically ftp
on up.???

Please do not start new two new threads. I spent quite a bit of time
responding to your questions back on the 2nd, and that is where you
should have replied, and not started a two new threads. In the future
please show a little consideration and stick with your original post, and
answer any questions posed in trying to clarify your situation or your
issue. It is kind of hard...and irritating, to help you when you don't.

Here is my original response with some other comments:

"Publisher has changed a quite a bit since Pub 2000. There is a new
coding
engine and the way you produce your web files are different among other
things. In Pub 2000 you would Save As a Web Page to produce your web
files.
In Pub 2007 you Publish to the Web. In Pub 2007, unless you change the
default you then get an index.htm file (your home page) and an
index_files
folder that contain all your other pages and the images and other
supporting
graphics. In Pub 2000 there was no subfolder. You do have the option of
turning that default option off if you want to. Tools > Options > Web
tab.
Note also that the default file extension is now .htm and not .html,
though
they both work.

Perhaps most importantly is that if you moved to Vista from XP, or IE7
from
IE6, then the method of uploading has changed too. It appears from your
site
that you are using forms, and thus HTTP uploading protocol vs. FTP
uploading. Here is an article that describes uploading protocols:

Prepare, publish, and maintain your Publisher Web site:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/HA100947601033.aspx
It is written for Pub 2007, but if you are using IE7 instead of IE6, then
the directions for using Vista would apply. FTP uploading has changed
with
the introduction of IE7. Pay particular attention to the instructions for
FTP uploading in Vista. You can probably modify these to use HTTP and
mapping a network drive.

You might also read these two articles to understand how Publisher has
evolved:

Web Publication Changes Made in Version 2002 of Publisher:
http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/pages/81262.aspx

Publisher 2003 - What's new in web design for this version:
http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/pages/80555.aspx";

----------------------------------

If you want to use FTP uploading then you will not be able to use your
forms on your site. As I explained, and as the articles explained, the
forms require HTTP uploading. And as I explained that process has totally
changed since IE7 and Vista have been introduced.

At this point I would suggest that you do just that...change your site
such that you do not use a form and just use FTP uploading. I doubt that
you are going to figure out how to use HTTP uploading. Furthermore, I
would suggest that you download and install the free ftp client
FileZilla. It is likely to be easier for you. Read the Help file
instructions on how to use it, and the documentation on the FileZilla
site.

Hello. I've spent hours going over the P-help items, the
M-knowledgebase, and
these discussion groups. Also have read the articles linked in the
various
responses by helpful folk. When I save the website to my FTP location on
my
computer, it saves but evidently doesn't go to my website. I'm making
changes
to my website created in P-2000 using P-2007. Hope someone can help!!
The
websiite is gracepublishing.org and the host is HostMonster.com.

Thanks,
Marshall
