Cyberduck v. iWeb for uploading

I have recently created a website using iWeb and had problems with uploading directly to my ftp server. I tried with cyberduck and it seems to work fine (on the first try at least!) but obviously this is an extra step that I would prefer to avoid if possible.... This brings me to my 2 questions:
- is cyberduck a better method for uploading in general? e.g. are people having good results with iWeb uploads or is a 3rd party ftp app the way to go?
- when using cyberduck, is there a way to only upload the changes or do you have to essentially overwrite the whole website each time?
Thanks

Using an FTP application allows you to add SEO tags and optimize your files.
The only application I know that will upload changed files is Web Site Maestro. The application is an optimizer with a basic built in FTP function.

iWeb built sites have to be optimized if you want them to load on a PC running Internet Explorer.

Is there a video tutorial for using cyberduck and iweb?

So, is there a video tutorial for using cyberduck and iweb to upload to a website? The written instructions on iweb are not specific enough.

Might be worth posting that in the iWeb forum.

Also, have you tried searching with google?

Using iWeb for a persoanl web site.

Hi everyone
I have used iWeb to create a web site to upload to my .mac account before and its really easy.
Now my question is, can I create a web site with iWeb but upload it to a web site of my own on a third party web hosting company?
if yes, can you also explain how to do it?
Thanks a lot
Bob

Yes, you can. First, you probably want this 3rd party hosted site to be separate from your original site. This might entail making a separate Domain file for iWeb to keep the sites separate. Another way to do this would be to create a separate system login account with its own instance of iWeb and separate Domain file. Again, this is a way of keeping the sites in different Domain files so that you can publish both sites independently and to different places. If, instead, you are basically starting over and don't mind erasing your previous website then you can disregard this.
Assuming that you have the particulars of preparing your separate site worked out (as above), then all you have to do is to design your separate site and then in iWeb choose "Publish to Folder". This will place all the files needed for this website in a folder on your desktop. Then you will need to get ahold of an FTP program of your choosing (Fetch and CyberDuck are two that are mentioned all the time). You will also need to figure out exactly where you 3rd party webserver wants you to upload files. You will use the FTP program to navigate to the desired web server directory and then upload the site folder that iWeb made into that directory. That's it!

Creating site in my iweb to upload (?) to client's URL

I'm a newbie creating a site in iWeb for a client. I'd like to know how to put that site on the web using my client's URL instead of my own.

Now that I'm more comfortable with what I'm attempting to communicate, let me start over...
I am a newbie at creating a site for a client in iWeb, but I need to keep it separate from my other iWeb stuff so I can upload it to different URL (?).
You helped find the solution to uploading a site from a folder using Cyberduck, but I think there's another part to the equation I haven't solved: I read a post by Old Toad concerning multiple sites and he mentioned iWebSites. Would this be something I would use?

IWEB not uploading URL correctly

For several days I have been struggling with IWEB to get it to load to my url through ftp. Here is the thing....IWEB makes you do a "site name" and when you do that it becomes the landing URL for example I want people to type in www.photocandy.biz and get to my site. Well I have index for example as my site name and so as a result the url is www.photocandy.biz/index this is what it is defaulting to. I am so frustrated I dont know what to do please help.
Thank you

What iWeb does is not incorrect - it is the way that iWeb does it and has done it from iWeb 06. It is the site structure that is used like it or not. When published, iWeb creates your Site folder that will be the same name that you gave your site in iWeb and also a separate index.html file and both of these need to be uploaded to your server, so hence your url will be http://www.domain.com/sitename/pagename.
If you want anything different, then you will probably need to download Cyberduck free from the internet. This is a dedicated ftp client. From iWeb use the publish to a folder option and then connect to your host using Cyberduck and rather than uploading the whole site folder and index file, just upload the contents of your site folder. Your url will then be http://www.domain.com/pagename. Note that RSS feeds will not work if you do this as you have broken the site structure.
In iWeb 09, I think it might be possible to do the same with the built in ftp by naming your site either 'public_html", "www", or "htdocs" or whatever your host has for you to upload to. You then leave the directory/path field empty and then upload and you should get just the contents of the folder rather than the hole folder itself.
I have never tried this so don't know whether it works. Although I use 09, I still publish to a folder and upload with Cyberduck.

Can I use iWeb for my own domain without .mac

I want to use iWeb for creating a simple website. But how can I upload this website to my own domain? Do I need another program. I myself use Dreamweaver. Can I copy the website made in iWeb to dreamweaver? Or... Who can help me out!!!!

You publish to a folder and use an ftp program like Cyberduck, Fetch, or Transmit to upload. I recommend you not use Dreamweaver. Some tips:

How do I get iweb to upload to different family pack accounts?

Hi. sorry if this has been covered before, but I can't find this particular problem anywhere. Also sorry this is going to take a while to explain. We feel we wasted an extra 50 bucks on our family pack for mac.com last year to have accounts we never could find out how to upload from our separate iWeb domain files. We needed 4 different "sub accounts" but we use one mac laptop using one desktop. Calling apple customer service was of no help. We have figured out the way to get iWeb to open different domain2 files was to copy and into each person's file (one for the gardener for their garden stuff, one for the budding chef and his cooking stuff, etc). But no matter what domain file is opened and worked on iWeb always uploads it to our main (original) user name thus erasing the site previously uploaded to it. We can't seem to find out how to change the settings in iWeb so when it uploads particular iWeb projects to Mac.com (or now me.com?) it goes to the sub accounts and not overwriting the main account. Our main account is for the entire household's news/photos etc and we don't link to the others from there. We thought by setting up the family pack we could easily get iweb to send up to the other sub accounts. Not so. We ended up last year just doing all our websites on the same iWeb domain file using "new website" function and adding a complete new website to the bottom of the list on our iWeb pages. All of them would be combined into one which uploaded everything to the main account. Not what we wanted but that was the only way that nothing would get erased by anyone else's updates but also not very private as those near the bottom of the list would have a mac.com address as long as my arm. Sorry so long winded here. But if we can't have two iweb domain files on a desk top upload to two separate mac.com accounts or sub accounts, then why pay the extra for them? Is a family pack only good for families with a computer in every room? Our family pack accounts expires in 10 days so would like to know if we need to waste another 50 bucks. And no, setting up separate desktops for for the sake of individual iWeb projects is not an option as all the files are kept together. We tried that once and got so much duplication in photos and stuff, our hard drive was full in no time.

so you have 45 different users on your one computer? ie: 45 different desktop users or am I still not understanding. To me a "user" you are referring to is what I would go up to the upper right of my toolbar and use the drop down menu and select another name (or in this case another alias of myself) but those additional accounts (users) would all have to be tied into my files on the main account to access them from all users, correct? All my files are on my one main user (myself) and not all of them are in iPhoto or iTunes, for instance any swf files. If I have other iWeb domain files (which I know how to create, duplicate and know about the last one used in iweb etc) then I have to create a separate user name (myself again) in my computer for as many iweb/me.com accounts or sub accounts that I have? But my problem with that is if I copy those domain files and move them into another account/user (which I tried) the link (the stuff at the bottom of the iWeb work window) still says my original Mac.com (me.com) address and will not let me change even when the new "user" has not even logged into Mac.com ever or the second computer is linked to a completely different mac.com account. I would have to start all over from scratch. I am sorry that I am not getting this. I know you are trying hard to explain it to me but it is just a bit too complicated to do a simple task of: I want to create a new iWeb/domain2 file on my own desktop with my own user name and have it go to "here" and not "here" within the me.com environment. I have actually copied and moved over 20 domain and domain2 files between our two macs to work on them, but each time the same connection indicated at the bottom is always the same and they will all upload to the master account at Mac I am referring to thus deleting anything we uploaded before no matter which computer they are located on. Once that domain file is created it is locked into that Mobileme account no matter what. So it has been easier to simply save to folders and purchase hosting from someone else than try to figure out what I am doing wrong with mac and me. (me, not myself)

I'm using a Mac. After swithcing to ICloud will I be able to use IWeb to upload and publish my sites hosted by other servers like Prohosting ?

iWeb has two other ways to publish your site...

... and the second method allows you a choice of how you upload the files...

The MobileMe only features can be replaced by alternatives...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Comments-Password-Protect.html
If you have folders of assets outside of the main website folder on MobileMe, download them from the Apple server. From the Finder Go menu, follow the path iDisk/My iDisk/ to get there. Your website files are in the Web/Sites folder. Drag any files/folders onto the desktop.
Use an FTP application to upload these assets to the root folder on your new server...

...and change the relevant URLs to...
http://www.domain-name.com/Folder-Name/file-name.file-extension
There are lots of options for hosting for about half the cost of MobileMe...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Website-Hosting.html
If you have been using a web.me.com domain name, you need to register a new one. Most hosting services give you at least one free and registering with your hosting company will make forwarding and managing it a lot easier.
Make sure you add the new name to Google and create, upload and enter a new sitemap.xml...

Used Iweb to upload to ftp but now all my mobileme sites show up on ftp

I created a website on Iweb, then uploaded to Mobile me for final drafting process. When the client was satisfied, I moved the website to their designated ftp server using Iweb.
Now, however, all the other websites I've been creating on Iweb and uploading to Mobile Me can only be found on this client's ftp server. What happened?I checked my Mobile me settings and the other websites are set to upload to Mobile me.
The ftp server where everything seems to be migrating is ftp://dcimed.com.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Using iWeb for non dot-mac sites

Hi all,
I own a number of domains that I'd like to use iWeb on. Am I able to utilize iWeb for a non .mac domain, or do I need to use something like Dreamweaver?
Many thanks.
-Hugh

No, in fact I have a sneaky suspicion that not using dot-mac sites will eliminate a lot of problems other people have. You will also lose some of the effects like the nicer slideshow etc.
I have never used dot-mac and never encountered any of the uploading/publishing problems that are so often mentioned on this forum.
Here is what you do:
After editing your website you choose :Publish to a folder.
This lets you choose a location on your hardrive into which all the necessary files will be compiled/rendered. In this folder you will find an htlm file plus a folder with the necessary files for easch of your pages.. This publishing is done lightning fasy pecause it is done locallly and not trhough your internetconnection like when you published to dot-mac. Also post-editing is easy and hassle free.
For editing and uploading my website I use "Transmit" but there are lots of other applications like "Fetch"
What to upload?
Well I believe the jury is still out on this.
I just upload the contents of the published folder and that works for me. Other publish the whole folder plus the dummy "Index file" that is generated outside that folder. You will heve to find out for your self.
If any changes or editing has to be done afterwards, I republish and then just upload the altered files.
There is one more thing I do, and I believe others don't. I keep my domain file in the same folder where I keep the Published folder.
E.g. there is a festival website, so I have a folder "Festival" in which I keep the domains file, and the published "Festival website" folder.
This way it is easy to keep various different websites.
When you want to edit one of them, go to that folder and double click the domains file, this will start iWeb with the right website for you to edit.
Really very easy.

IWeb For Commercial Use, Implemented Back End Code Questions

Hello
Well I have been looking for this anwer all day. I was wondering wether iWeb could be used for commerical use without any issues of copywrite or license software trouble. Now I know that the software is licensed to me and I cannot redistrubute it. I also know that iWeb code is copywrighted. I do not care about these two things existing, and I am happy to implement iWeb as the generator and me as the license holder. These are not the issues
The issues that remain and worry me is if whether I can use iWeb for commerical use. I know it states that it is intended for personal. I want to implement other systems that are not even iWeb related that will run my video players and music and so on. But for the overall look of the website I like iWeb as the image and graphic creator to create my text and background images and so on. I want to also change code that will work for me that iWeb does not support.
I do not want Apple to get upset with me for using their program for commerical use, but I am a semi advanced web person that knows html and php really well and would like to add my own code and stuff to my advantage
Does anyone know what the copywright is for iWeb and the license permits?
I havent been able to find them
thanks if anyone can answer my problem. i really want to fully implement my website but I need to make sure I can do what I want to do
Message was edited by: jcomp

I also know that iWeb is only html, css and js based, but I want to add my own personal stuff that it is not related to apple that will run other things. I am not sure if this will violate apples terms however.
I'm puzzled why you think your modifying the html and other code produced by iweb might possibly violate anything. Is there any other web editing software which imposes such restrictions? If so, I would be curious which ones do that.
I think there are several people in this forum who have used iweb to create some basic code and then used Dreamweaver and other apps to add advanced features they wanted for uploading to non-.Mac server.

How to monitor iWeb publish / upload status?

I'm publishing a website with a few large video files. When I hit publish, it prepares the pages and then seems to start uploading -- the pie chart image appears next to the site name. It's taking forever, however, with no discernable movement in the pie. I'd like to get some more details status from the app... how many MB uploaded, how many to go, estimated time of completion, etc...
Is there any way to find this out? Where does one make feature requests? Given what I've seen in the forum, this seems like an obvious and easy change to make to put many minds at ease.

Adding a movie by dragging it onto the page requires Quicktime to be installed on the computer trying to view your site. A lot of PCs do not have Quicktime installed.
There are other methods of adding a movie which are compatible with nearly all platforms. Go to the following pages at Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site to learn about players that will let all visitors view the movie: HTML5-Video.html, Easy Movie Player, Fallback Player. He has other pages dedicated to adding movies to a web page.
Most involve uploading the movie file to the server manually and then linking to it with the appropriate code in an HTML snippet.

What is the Tcodes for Uploading of data using BDC & CATT

PP members:
I was going through the cutover activities , and what I understood is we transfer all the legacy system data into SAP before going live
The data upload follows certain steps (depends on the organizational design load strategies)
First we upload all the master data ( material master, BOM, W/C's & Routings)
Then the transaction data ( Ideally speaking, there should no open orders i.e. WIP as on the day of cutoff )
If the WIP (Work in Process) is unavoidable then the materials consumed shall be treated as materials of the previous stage and necessary adjustments shall be made after cutover day
At this point, I could not able to understand what does the author mean materials of the previous stage
Now comming to the uploading of data into SAP from legacy system, we use tools like LSMW, CATT & BDC
Is it a must to use only LSMW tool to upload master data or any other upload tools are fine
Lastly,. I am not sure about the Tcode of CATT & BDC
Summary of the questions:
1.What does the author mean material of previous stage, for WIP materials during cutover activities
2. Is it mandatory to use only LSMW tool for uploading for master data
3. What are the Tcodes for upload tools CATT & BDC ?
Thanks for your time
Suren R

Dear,
1.What does the author mean material of previous stage, for WIP materials during cutover activities - as i understood, what is the stage of material..like it must have gone through 2 work centers and other 2 is left. i.e. you need to create Production order with only 2 operation as other 2 is already over. - usually it is done in such a way that we will create Production order and confirm till 2 operations and WIp is calculated so thatb FI will tally the books in SAP and lagacy.
2. Is it mandatory to use only LSMW tool for uploading for master data - no you can use any tool as required and suits yr requirement
3. What are the Tcodes for upload tools CATT & BDC- BDC through a prog in SE38. CATT through - SCEM.

What is the difference between: "Place..." or "Add files for Upload..."?

Where can I get information about the detailed differences between the commands "Place..." and "Add Files for Upload..." of the Files menu?
Understand that in both cases the files are linked and not embedded. But what further differences are there?
I came across this issue because widget 039 (Animated Image Rollovers) from MuseThemes works only if you use the "Add Files for Upload..." option.
Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
There are a few differences in both the options-
Place is used to add content to page (rendered) while Add Files for Upload... is used to upload files to your site but not on page (not rendered).
Placed images are published to /images folder on the server while images added using Add Files for Upload... option are published to the /assets folder on the server.
Placed images have a chance of getting renamed (if resized/interpolated in Muse) upon publish while images added using Add Files for Upload... retain their names.
Place can be used to add limited file formats like jpg/png/psd/swf/oam etc while you can upload almost any type of file using Add Files for Upload...
You don't see Placed content in the Hyperlinks dropdown for linking while files added using Add Files for Upload... show up in the Hyperlinks dropdown so that you may link to them and allow download.
Both serve different purposes and Add Files for Upload... is preferred by Widget Developers because it gives more control over uploaded content and assurance that file location and name will be as expected.
Hope the above give you clarity on the basic difference.
Cheers,
Vikas
