Change FTP Publish-to Directory

Question

I notice that iWeb publishes sites in a directory on the FTP server named the same as the domain name. (i.e., http://www.mysite.com/mysite.com/)
How do I change this?

Answer 1

Yes, iWeb does that. But the Sitename is YOUR choice. You typed the characters.
If you do not like the Sitename, use other characters.
Anyway, read this :
     The concept of iWeb Sites
A Site, which is just a folder, is a convenient way to organize your pages based on topic, subject or whatever you choose to keep relevant pages together. I’ve been doing that for the past 17 years, and I find it rather natural.
To avoid the Sitename in the URL, read my solution. It's very technical but in the end it saves time. And best of all, iWeb is not involved :
     Avoiding the iWeb Sitename in the URL
An easier, time-wasting, solution is to publish to a folder on your desktop.
Open that Site folder and move the content of that folder to the root of the webserver with a FTP application.
(The root of a webserver is where the file or folder, shown immediately to the righthand side of the domainname, is stored.)
Everytime you make changes to a page, you have to repeat these steps.
But the result is what you want.
And here's a re-post with some additional info about using an index.php file to avoid overwriting the index.html file iWeb creates :

Works on all servers. With or without a subdomain I may add. Like this one :
     http://wyodor.byethost8.com/htdocs/index.html
Not as easy as publishing to a folder, but in the end it saves time. Again.
