the www. folder is probably for http:// method of publishing your website
via FPSE
the ftp. folder is ...well for publishing via ftp :-)
just leave them alone

Spike:
What would happen if when I clicked on "publish to the web," when at my
.pub
file, I saved the "index_files" to the folder "www.lcn-hoa.com," and also
created a sub-folder for "www.lcn-hoa.com," called "downloads," and then
copied and pasted my four .pdf files into the "downloads" sub-folder.
If once the NEW "index_files" are in the "www.lcn-hoa.com" folder along
with
the OLD "index_files," I could just right click on the open area on the
right
of the C-Drive stem with "www.lcn-hoa.com" highlighted, and click on
refresh
to make the NEW "index_files" over write the OLD "index_files?"
That folder "www.lcn-hoa.com" has to fit into this puzzle somehow?

I am responsible for that error (sorry) I had you write an absolute link
for the pdf files. On the net it will work but not on your computer.
If
you change the link to a relative link "/downloads/XXX.pdf" without
quotes
it will work on your computer and the net.

Spike:
I created a sub-folder in my new main folder (HOA WEBSITE) for my .pub
file,
called, "downloads."
Inside of "downloads," I placed copies of <<all four>> of my .pdf
files.
The first hyperlink to the bylaws .pdf file is shown as:
http://www.lcn-hoa.com/downloads/bylaws_LCNII_6.pdf
The file name of the same file in the sub-folder "downloads," is named:
bylaws_LCNII_6.pdf
When I double-clicked on the new "index.htm" file inside of HOA
WEBSITE,
up
comes a copy of the website as it will look when published.
Everything works fine, except the .pdf files
When I click on any of them, I get the following message:
You are the owner of this web site and you have not uploaded (or
incorrectly
uploaded) your web site. For information on uploading your web site
using
FTP
client software or web design software, click here for FTP Upload
Information.
QUESTION: Maybe <<placement>> of the new "HOA WEBSITE" and its
sub-folder
"downloads" on my C-Drive stem is causing the problem?? Maybe this new
main
folder and the sub-folder should be placed below:
Computer
Local Disk (C:)
DVD RW Drive (D:)
Removable Disk (E:), and so on?
It is now below "Desktop," which is at the top of "My Computer" stem,
and
among the folders for "Thom Sepic," which includes such folders as
.java;
AppData; Application Data; Contacts; Desktop; Documents; Downloads;
Favorites; HOA WEBSITE (with the sub-folder, downloads); Links, etc.
Otherwise, I am at a loss as to why I can see all the "new" changes I
have
made to my .pub file for the website when published, except the four
files.
Best, Thomboy

Looking over your site it appears that you have the publisher program
publishing all you web files to one directory, I do not see the
"index_files" directory being used and that is OK. Your site looks
good
and
is working fine as far as I can see.
To clear things up I have a few suggestions:
1. Delete all the htm files that you created on your computer hard
drive
(so you don't get an old one accidently)
2. Create a new folder on your hard drive (any name will do) let's
call
it
HOA for now
3. Open your pub file using publisher and modify the links for your
files to read "http://www.lcn-hoa.com/downloads/XXX.pdf"; without the
quotes.
XXX will be different for each PDF file (remember NO spaces please)
4. Using "Publish to the web", publish you files to the new folder
HOA
5. Create a sub folder to HOA (any name will do) let's call it
"downloads"
for now without the quotes
6. Rename you PDF files to match your links and place them in the
DOWNLOADS
folder
7. Go back to the HOA folder. Double click on the index.htm file.
This
should bring up the web site on your browser. Go through your site
and
check it out. Try the PDF files. If all works the way you want got
to
step
8. (if not get back here and we will figure it out)
8. Using filezilla, log onto your server. Create a folder on the
server
in
the root directory named "downloads" without the quotes and all lower
case
letters.
9. Using filezilla, transfer the files in the HOA folder on your hard
drive
to the root directory on the server
10. Using filezilla, transfer the PDF files form the DOWNLOADS folder
on
your computer to the downloads folder on the server.
AND don't feel that you are dense as you are asking GOOD questions.
We
all
started out that way and with a little help we got better as you will
too
soon.

Spike, when I first up loaded them to my website, using FileZilla, a
friend
who uses HTML for all his webdesign and knows nothing about
Publisher,
got
behind the Publisher files, and tweaked them using HTML, and viola,
the
four
.pdf files uploaded perfectly. We knew at the time that what he did
was
not
protocol, but in a bind, one accepts anything that works!
There was no problem, until I had to go back and update the website
by
myself, and then the message from IE you cite below appeared. You
saw
what I
saw that the file was on my own hard drive.
Unfotunately, my friend has moved away, and I am NOW on my own.
I am actually beginning from ground zero when it comes to posting
files
on my Publisher driven website. I did read David's note at
MSMVPS.COM
titled, "Including external files in a Pullisher web," which
indirectly
includes much of what you are saying, but it is directed at users of
Pub
2000
when they upgrade to 2002 or 2003.
Not to muddy the water, but I have or Publisher has created some
folders
on
my C drive that seem to include the index.htm and index_files, and
when
my
friend earlier got involved in moving the four .pdf files to my
Publisher
website, he side stepped the normal step by step process for
uploading
files
to my host site, and while everything worked, and we were up and
running,
I
remain confused as to why I have two folders now, each with the same
data.
The two folders on the stem of my C-drive are shown as:
"www.lcn-hoa.com"
and ftp.lcn-hoa.com" and both have the two main .pub files
("index_file"
and
my "index.htm") and they also include "_db_backups; aspnet_client;
and
stats." Both may be essential when I use FileZilla to move my two
.pub
files
to my website, but if so, which one should I save the index_files &
index.htm
to when I click on "Publish to the web" before I upgrade my website?
CAN YOU PLEASE LOOK BELOW FOR MY ANSWERS OR QUESTIONS RELATED TO
YOUR
REPLY?

This is the link I see on your site for one of your pdf's
\\thomoffice\ActiveFoldrs\HOA - Website Files\index_files\CCR LCNII
157-219_6.pdf
The problem here is the link above that is on your web page
It should be http://www.lcn-hoa.com/XXX.pdf (if the XXX.pdf is in
the
root
directory)
Suggestion: When you name pdf files omit the spaces in the name of
the
files.
When you load the pdf files to your server,
place
them
in a directory of their own such as downloads to keep them where
they
are
easy to locate and maintain. The new link then would be:
http://www.lcn-hoa.com/downloads/XXX.pdf
OK, I WILL ASSUME THAT I NEED TO CREATE A FOLDER ON MY C-DRIVE,
TITLED,
"DOWNLOADS FOR WEBSITE," INTO WHICH I SHOULD SAVE A COPY OF ALL FOUR
FILES--WITHOUT SPACES. OR, ARE YOU TELLING ME TO SAVE THE FOUR .PDF
FILES
TO
ONE OF THE MYSTERIOUS TWO FOLDERS MENTIONED ABOVE BEGINNING WITH
FTP.
OR
WWW.?
IF SO, THEN THIS BECOMES MUCH CLEARER.
SORRY FOR SOUNDING SO DENSE, BUT HAVING MY FRIEND HELP ME, ACTUALLY
CONFUSED
ME MORE WHEN I CAME BACK TO MOVE THE .PDF FILES CORRECTLY.
I looked for your pdf's in the root directory but did not find
them.
Where
did you up load them to?
SEE ABOVE PLEASE,
THANKS, THOMBOY

Hi David:
I am back again.
We talked briefly about my desktop running Windows Vista Ultra
with
IE
8,
and my laptop running Windows XP with IE 7.
You suggested uninstalling IE 8 on my desktop, and going back to
IE
7,
so
there would be fewer problems when I moved my .pub file for my
website
(http://www.lcn-hoa.com) to my laptop.
Does it make any sense to load Office 2007 on my laptop,
replacing
Office
2003 to also remove another hurdle to jump?
In keeping with that question, and only because I have an
unopened
and
new
copy of Windows Vista Home Premium yet to load onto my laptop,
would
it
make
any sense to install the Vista Premium on my laptop so there is
more
continuity between my desktop and my laptop?
I have a Core 2 cpu @ 2.00 GHz, plus .99GB of RAM on my laptop,
barely
enough for Windows Vista Home Premium to run effecitvely.
Any thoughts?
Thomboy
P.S. I have another Publisher Question about using .pdf files on
a
publisher webpage, and how to make it work? I have read and
reread
the
Office Publisher file, "Save a file in PDF Format," and am still
not
sure
how
to make this happen.
The nine steps in the Office Pub file make it sound very easy,
but I
cannot
make it work. If you take a quick look at my website, mentioned
above,
and
click on the page titled, "C&Rs and Legal" and then click on any
of
the
links, you get a message that says that IE cannot display this
page.
