Hi - I think I might be having similar issues. I have been using iWeb for over a year and uploading via FTP to Bravenet. Recently, I have been getting error messages (depending on the FTP client, as I have tried three of them, before realising it wasn't the FTP app) such as 'connection lost' and 'error in transmission' etc. Through opening a ticket with the Bravenet helpdesk we have worked out that the files that won't upload are files with symbols in the names ( i.e. ' or - ). He suggested that I remove the symbols, which of course I can't do, as the underlying code (I'm assuming) would need to be changed to reflect the changes in the filenames.
I am assuming that the filenames from iWeb have always been the same, which leads me to presume that there is a problem with Bravenet or that they have changed their rules. However I was curious to hear if anybody else has had the same problem, and if there is a fix? Many thanks.

How can i upload my iweb site to my tripod host?

have been using tripod as the web host for my website for years. mostly used dreamweaver to build the original site, but it is teadious. rebuilt my entire site with iweb and i can't get it to be compatible with tripod. any suggestions? do i need to find another web host and transfer my domain ect.? would like to keep it where it's at, but really want to be able to use the iweb on my macbook pro to maintian and update the site.
thanks

This depends on whether you have iWeb '09 or above (version 3) or earlier (version 2).
Up to and including iWeb '08, it was only possible to publish to other hosts by 'Publishing to a folder' and then uploading that local folder to a website host using a separate FTP client. From iWeb '09 an FTP method was built-in, making it easier to publish to a host other than MobileMe.
In order to upload your existing site in iWeb '09 and above:
Click on the name of the site in the sidebar: the publishing settings pane will open. Set 'Publish to' to 'FTP'. Enter the name of the site and a contact address (if desired).
In the 'FTP Server Settings' section you will need to know the server address (your hosting service can tell you that), and your username and password for that service. Your site will be published in a folder with its name at root level of the server, with an index.html file at root level (which will overwrite any index.html file which may be there already). The 'Directory/Path' field may need to include a path such as '/webspace/' or 'ht_docs/' - this is dependent on your hosting service and they should tell you this. If you want to publish within a folder you can add that to the path.
You can then click the 'Test connection' button so that iWeb can check that it can get access to your server space. You should enter the URL of the site in the 'URL' field so that rss feeds and internal links have the correct address.
To publish using an earlier version of iWeb:
From the File menu choose 'Publish to a folder'. You should create a folder somewhere convenient specifically for this and choose it when publishing to a folder: this folder should not contain anything else.
You now need an FTP program (FTP is the 'protocol' used for uploading) to upload the contents of the folder to your server.Cyberduck is free (donation requested): Transmit is $34 but I think better. You will need the server address (your hosting service can tell you that), and your username and password for that service. You can drag the contents of your folder to your webspace, or create a folder there and drag the contents to that if you prefer.

How can I upload my iWeb site to 2 different domain addresses?

I have two different domain names, but I want to publish one iWeb site to both addresses.
I can't work out how to do it, I was thinking to duplicate the whole site but using the other address. Then I would have to make indiviual changes to both sites when updating content etc.
There must be an easier way to do this, I am missing something?

Your info says you use iWeb 08.
That means you publish to a folder.
If so, iWeb is not involved. You decide what to do with the published files on the desktop.
With iWeb 09 you only have one FTP address. To publish to another server you have to change the publish info.
But everytime you do that, iWeb will publish the entire site.
You can't have both. iWeb was not meant for that.
Anyway, you provided the solution yourself : duplicate websites for each server.
There's actually no need to make the changes in each site.
Make changes in one site, and duplicate the page to the other site.
Then publish.

Can't Upload new iWeb Site

Ok, so I had my old iWeb site uploaded everything was great. I modified the look and now I can't seem to get the **** thing uploaded. I have tried three different programs. I've tried Cyberduck, Fetch, and one I saw on here Easy iWeb Publisher v1.2.3.
Every freak'n time I try they disconnect on me. For example, Cyberduck and Fetch timeout and disconnect on the 'about us.css' file. it's only 4K, but it will not load it. What is going on? I'm so completely frustrated. I leave for LA in one day and I need to get this site uploaded. Please help!

I would roll with you on that one, except my old site
had the exact same titles and it worked fine. I have
been trying to upload this new version of our site
for a full 24 hours and yet I only have about 4 pages
loaded. iWeb really need to have ftp features with
options to choose publish only changed pages, etc.
This really has nothing to do with iWeb. The current various dedicated ftp programs have more options than iWeb would ever likely have itself. Any problems you are having are the result of issues with your host or your connection or your ftp operation. Your host ought to be able to look at logs and find out what's going wrong and fix it.

Can i upload to iWeb from to different macs

A couple of weeks ago I bought me an MacBook, i have a iMac too.
When I uploaded some pictures from the MacBook I found to my suprise
(bad suprise) that the only fotos left on my web were the ones from the MacBook, fixed it later.
So I wonder, is there any way that i can work my web pages from the 2 Macs?
Greetings from the Canary Islands.

Yes. See this Apple document: iWeb: Publish to your .Mac account from more than one computer.

New computer...can I upload my iweb files? it's not working!

I recently purchased a macbook pro and need to keep working on my website. I had created one using iweb on my previous ibook but now when I open iweb on this new computer, it won't let me open or import my files!!! I don't want to have to recreate everything.... but when I turn on iweb it just asks me to create a new page! Can anyone help?? I've been thru the help files, can't really find anything & not sure how to search for it...thank you!!

David, I realized that I didn't answer all your questions. I did the whole site in iWeb with the exception of the counter at the bottom of the pages. That is done with StatCounter which is free, and provides valuable information about how your site is being searched.
I noticed that some (if not all) of your text has published as image files (png) rather than text. If you want people to be able to google your site, change those back into text and register with google. the following is a good forum thread detailing how to get listed by google: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=679200&tstart=0
There are lots of good forum threads. Search for( text change png ) or something like that and you will find lots of info about how to keep text from changing to pngs.
Good luck, David http://web.mac.com/phelpssculpture/iWeb/

I have just uploaded my iWeb site to a FTP host and most of the site is ok however a lot of the text has gone very strange! How can i get it to publish the same as I designed it? Thanks in advance....

Please help! I have just uploaded my iweb site to a FTP Host and most of the site is ok however a lot of the text has gone wrong! Many thanks...

Maybe you could let me know which hosting service you are using so that I can add them to my list of those NOT recommended for iWeb users!
I just dealt with one today who claimed the iWeb sites were incompatible and that the first line of code should be deleted from every HTML file before upload to their server.
They didn't even offer the information that it would be a lot easier to modify the .htaccess file never mind offer to do it for a customer.
Nobody should expect to pay for service like this and the answer is to dump them and go to a company that gives you some value and support for your money. If the ones on this page don't meet your requirements for cost and service...

... search this forum for those recommended by other users. There's a long list of them.

How can I upload the back-up folder into iWeb?

How can I upload the back-up folder into iWeb?
Hi
I've set up my website using iWeb 08, always keeping the latest version in iWeb and backing it up in a folder on my HD.
Yesterday I got rid of the current design iWeb and tried to upload the back-up folder into the iWeb application. No success.
How can I upload the back-up folder into iWeb? Many thanks for your help.

Welcome to the discussions. Only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. See this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb. You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.
Presumably you've been prudently making backups of your Mac's internal HD, so search there for the Domain file's invisible extension:
.sites2
If you can't find your old Domain file, paragraph 2.3 of this FAQ page gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:

Downloaded site from ftp can i reopen in iweb to edit

I have compleatly reformated my computer,
updated to OS lion and re installed all software...
My iweb folder doesn't exist, I probably deleted it,
However I have downloaded my site from my ftp client,
and am trying to re-open the site to edit in iweb...
is this possible?

James ~ Welcome to the Support Communities. No, it's not possible to open published files in iWeb. Only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb — the Domain file is usually located here:

Does iWeb place a limit on the size of jpeg that can be uploaded? I'm putting large MB jpegs on site and they are being compressed down to kp. My site is not doing this.

Does iWeb place a limit on size of jpeg that can be uploaded to server? I'm placing large mb jpeg files and they are showing up on web as kb files. My provider does not put any size limit on what I upload. Is it iWeb?

Here is the problem, I've done this, set the right settings in iWeb as indicated above and yet the images are still small images. Is there a cache in iWeb that may need to be cleaned out or a setting somewhere messing me up.
I normally put web size images however for this one album I need them to be full size.
Any other help full suggestions? I appreciate all your help. I'm guessing there is something simple I'm missing.

How can I save an iWeb project as a single file so that I can easily upload it?

I am trying to upload an iWeb project that I made to space on our campus server, but I need to rename it index.html. Is there any way to save the project as one file that I can name index.html and then upload it to our organization's space?
Thanks!

A site iWeb publishes is not a single file but a folder with content. The folder contains a lot of files.
And iWeb also creates an index.html file that redirects to the first webpage in your site.
So publish to a folder and then examine the content of the folder with the sitename.
If you mean by project, the domain file iWeb uses to store its assets, then simply make it an archive. There'se no need the rename it index.html, first of all because it's not a webpage. The extension "zip" is enough.

Can't upload web pages wit photo's or movies without FTP disconnecting?

Using Cyberduck to upload trial iweb to yahoo geocities filemanager to test my skills before paying for a proper host. Found cyber duck and seems to work fine for uploading files as long as they have underscores for spaces. But when i try to upload my published iWeb folder in my Sites folder, It disconnects after uploading 900kb with just one movie page with movie exported from imovie or 1.2mb out of 14mb with movie as a podcast page.
My URL is http://uk.geocities.com/blondefishwalker/Sites/Site/Welcome.html
you will see the welcome page but not the about me. The podcast page is there but no movies or links.
My lastest attempt with welcome, about me and podcast pages has had all media exported out of iPhoto or iMovie and i've tried sharing movies via download and stream and still get errors. Is it cyber duck?, geocities?, iWeb? what? Please shed some light on this for me!

I am no expert on ftp, but have read lots of posts.
Looking at the error message you posted, I suspect that it is to do with the fact that you have got a space in "About Me". From what I understand, most webhosts do not allow spaces in file names, therefore you need to rename to something else, perhaps About_Me.

Just upgraded iWeb app to version 3.0.4 from an iLife 11 disk. I like some of the newer features but it seems to have one glitch: when I upload the pages to my ftp server, the automatic navigation bar at the top of the page disappears. Any ideas?

Looks like a couple scripts are missing:
If you republish the entire site iWeb should recreate these for you...
I don't use the built-in navigation. I usually just create my own:

Can I publish my iWeb 2.0.4 site?

Can I publish my iWeb 2.0.4 site? I designed it, hit "publish" and it went to now-defunct Mobile Me...

I do believe you can publish your website to a folder.
I think (it's been a while since I have used the older version) in the File menu you should have an option to publish site to a folder.
Then you will need to use an FTP application like Cyberduck to upload files to your web host.
