Re: Cannot Publish to the Web - Vista

I can ftp the site. That is no problem. The problem is that the form on the
site does not work if I ftp the site. I have to use another way (HTTP) or do
something about the form handler. I don't know how to do either of those. If
2003 would publish my web site and the form would work, I would be delighted.
I think it was originially designed in Pub 2000. Maybe later I upgraded to
2003 and then to 2007, not sure.

Getting your website files on to the server could be done with a File
Transfer Program (ftp).

An excellent ftp is FileZilla, obtainable from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla/

I believe you can save most any Publisher file to a previous version by
doing
Save as...
Then select from the drop down menu the version of Publisher wanted.

BUT! You may loose some formatting saving to a previous version.

Someone had a list that said that Publisher 2003 was compatible with
Vista. I
would certainly be willing to go back to 2003 if I could get my publishing
to
work. Does anyone know if you can publish to the web from Publisher 2003?
Since someone mentioned that Publish to the Web didn't work well with
Vista,
I guess the answer is no, but I'm grasping at straws here. I tried sending
an
e-mail to Godaddy last night and when I submitted, it went to Page Not
Found
or something similar. I am really getting stressed about this. I have got
to
get it fixed. I'm going to call Godaddy again tonight, but the first
person
that I talked to did not even know that I could not use their ftp if I had
a
form on my site. I have asked everyone that I can think of to help me with
this, but most people are not that familiar with Publisher.

Also, I was wondering if you could save a publisher file as a previous
version, like save a 2007 file in the 2000 format? I know that you can do
that in Word.

Sorry David and Sarah, I should have known better than to meddle with a
query
concerning Pub 2007. I was just trying to help by pointing to previous
answers.

Unfortunately Geoffrey's advice to use FileZilla will not work in your
case
as you are using a form that is currently dependent upon FrontPage
Server
Extensions to process the form. If you use FTP uploading protocol this
will
corrupt the FPSE and the form on your site will no longer work. You
must use
HTTP uploading or change the form handler. You may need to uninstall
and
reinstall the FPSE.

Spike does have some experience with using a different form handler at
GoDaddy and might be able to tell you how to change the configuration
of
your form. In that case you could read the directions on how to use
FileZilla at http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/documentation/ and use
FTP
uploading.

Reference: Aplus.net: How do I upload with Filezilla:
http://www.apluskb.com/scripts/How_do_I_upload_with_answer3668.html
This article has some good screenshots that may help you understand how
to
use FileZilla.

FileZilla Instructions:
http://www.siteground.com/tutorials/ftp/filezilla.htm

These additional references on how to use FileZilla are not exactly the
same
with GoDaddy, and you might check the GoDaddy support section. It used
to
have a good article on how to use FileZilla. And you might read the
reference material on the GoDaddy site about there form handler if you
do
want to switch to FTP uploading protocol.

Otherwise you need to learn how to map your network drive and use HTTP
uploading.

Prepare, publish, and maintain your Publisher Web site:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/HA100947601033.aspx
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
could
also ask GoDaddy how to do this and then you would publish to your hard
drive and drag and drop your files to your server.

Good luck.

Okay, so I need to use Filezilla, which I have downloaded and could
not
figure it out at all. So, now my question is how do I get help with
that?
The
wizard asked questions that I had no clue how to answer. Is there a
Filezilla
for Dummies? LOL BTW, thanks for your quick reply.

Sarah,

As you now have Vista, it is my understanding that you should use a
program
called FileZilla to publish your Publisher-created website.

Spike supplied the answer below to a similar question (see it on
page 5):

There are rumors that Vista is not friendly with publish to the web.
It
wasn't all that friendly in XP when I used it there. A
recommendation
from
my hosting service was to use FileZilla,.
http://filezilla-project.org/download.php

With filezilla you publish to your hard drive and then FTP to the
host
server.

My problem is getting my web site published to the web. I have had
the
site
for several years. It was made with Publisher, and I had not
problem
uploading to the web - until I got a new computer. Here's the
info.:

Old computer: Windows XP, IE 7, Publisher 2007. On that computer I
could
click File, Publish to the Web, click My Network Places, choose
appropriate
network place, click open, put in username & password, click save
at
next
screen where my network place is listed in "save in" and index is
listed at
the bottom for file name. Then it tells me that the file index.htm
already
exists, and it asks me if I want to replace it. I click Yes. Then
it
tells me
that Publisher has created a filtered HTML version of this
publication
and
some other stuff and I click OK. Then it indicates that it is
working.
I look
on the Internet, and the web site is updated.

New computer: Windows Vista, IE 7 (I did upgrade to 8 but took it
off.),
Publisher 2007. I click File, Publish to the Web, then I click on
the
name of
the network place under folders. The file name at the bottom is
index.
The
top box says ftp://orangeburghighschool1971.com/ I click save.
Then a
messages pops up that says that index.htm already exists, and it
asks
if I
want to replace it. I said yes. It tells me that Publisher has
created
a
filtered HTML version of this publication and some other stuff and
I
click
OK. Then it asks for a user name and password. Then it starts
working.
Then
it asks for user name and password again. Then I get the message
that
Publisher could not save the file to the web. Check your URL or
network
connection and try again. On other occasions, it acted
differently. It
would
only ask for the user name and password once and then it would
work
forever
before it would tell me that it could not connect.

Other information that might help: I called Godaddy and talked to
them
for
quite a while. They could not help me. I could use their FTP, but
I
have a
form on my site that I really need, and it doesn't support forms.
Filezilla
was recommended, so I downloaded that, but I couldn't understand
how to
do it
at all. I am planning a class reunion and am getting new
information
almost
every day that needs to be updated to the web site, so I need help
fast. I
decided to send my file to my old computer with a flash drive and
upload it
from the old computer, but I got the same message as I did on the
new
computer when I tried to upload. Yet I can still upload the old
original file
on the old computer. I have worked and worked on this and am
getting
nowhere.
