Duplication of Website when uploading to FTP

I am in desperation mode. The FTP is showing one of the websites in duplicate in the Local Site screen. I have tried countless to eliminate the second one, but to no avail. It is not listed in the Website Documents folder. This has resulted in I am not able to upload pages that have been updated resulting in one of the pages on the website is badly skewed.
I have sought help from the ISP Domain Host and he said I need to check the codes. I plead absolute ignorance as to where do I dig down deep into the FTP [FileZilla] to find out a code that I could access to delete the duplication of the same site.

I am replying to my own message because the one above was sent accidentally before I could add more information. I wanted to include URL for the website which is http://lanark-baldersonpastoralcharge.ca
I also want to include a screen shot of my Website folder. The troublesome site #4 is what duplicates in the FTP program.
I hope this issue can be resolved as it is a very well visited site. I am diligent about keeping it updated. The entire website had to be uploaded because Apple removed the Arial MT and Arial Bold MT. All my pages were skewed as a result. After hours of getting them reinstated with Arial Round Bold MT, iWeb published everything beautifully, but I cannot upload them because duplication of the site has occurred.
HELP!

Duplication of website when uploading iWeb in FTP

My question was posted several days ago but it did not receive a response. At the same time while sorting out the issue, I sought Domain Host support from my ISP. What was occurring at my end was beyond comprehension and the Domain Host support suggested issues with codes, which I had no brain to sort out.
To resolve the dilemma, I renamed the website, remounted everything to eliminate 'glitches' occurring on some of the pages. In other words, start all over again. Uploading was compounded with the server several times over having its own issues, but finally after many re-uploads, the renamed site finally loaded successfully.
I wish to add to all to this by mentioning that iWeb still proves, from my perspective, the best web design program for users like me who are not highly trained web developers or designers. I am in the category of 'low-ended' with basic skills and minimal design talents. However, the website I have for my client is well visited not into the millions because of its subject. But, it is serving the purpose of my client and the visitors I hear from provide accolades galore.
I have investigated all the other web design programs mentioned in the forum and find iWeb the best not only for a 'low-end' web designer but user-friendly for the visitors. My clientele tell me how much they like the layout with the INDEX in view on every page making it so easy to access the other pages without having to return to the 'HOME' page. They love the layout and design as well thanks to the excellent templates iWeb has. The content is most important but presenting it in a way that visitors find to be excellent speaks volumes for iWeb.
I wish I was a developer so that I could work on iWeb to keep pace with the coding changes occurring on the internet. But, as the lowly web designer out there, iWeb remains functional thereby keeping my client happy and its world-wide visitors.
Thanks, for letting me share my experience with iWeb and that I will continue with the program ad infinitum. Concluding, by saying Apple made a mistake dropping this excellent web design program.

Muse CC 2014 hangs when uploading via FTP

Uploading via FTP to GoDaddy hangs Muse cc 2014.
I've tried numerous times and progress bar never gets passed 90%....then I hacve to force quit application.
Anyone have any ideas?
Problem seems to be with CC 2014 version.
Thanks

Hi,
What does the status message say? Does it always hang while uploading/deleting a specific file?
Are you on Windows or Mac?
Would it be possible for you to try an external FTP client as outlined here: Adobe Muse Help | Uploading an Adobe Muse Site to a third-party hosting service
I am not necessarily recommending that as a workaround, but it would help to understand if the issue is specific to Muse.
Thanks
Abhishek

My muse website, when uploaded, jumbles quotation marks, bullet points and apostrophes to appear as â€¢ and â€? Why?

My muse website jumbles quotation marks, bullet points and apostrophes to appear as â€™.
Its fine when I preview in browser, only once it's been uploaded do the marks become jumbled. Why?

Thanks Zak..The server host said that the jumbled marks are appearing as binary code while the rest of the text is appearing as "text".
They believe that the problem may be occurring at the FTP. The server host is configured to host binary and unicode.
They advised me to upload a zipped folder containing the site and they will try and open it at their end. Also, not sure if this is unique
to Adobe font kits. Its from Adobe Font kit.

I have updated my website, and uploaded via FTP, but some images are missing. I have deleted them in i

I have published a website with iWeb on MobileMe quite successfully. I purchased a second domain name, and republished the same site on GoDaddy before trying to point my MobileMe website name to the GoDaddy server. I was unable to upload several pictures to the second site, and posted my dilemma here. It was suggested that I try using Cyberduck to publish via FTP, which I did. I was still missing the same images. The error message says that there was a communications error with the FTP server and to try again later. I have been able to upload several more new images to the second domain name just by using iWeb's publish feature.
I want to point my MobileMe website name, www.melissaveres.com to GoDaddy, which is now hosting www.mveres-engraver.com but it will only show the site as it is currently published, with several missing pictures. I have tried to delete the photos in iWeb, bring them back in, and republish but with the same results. I have contacted GoDaddy support, who can only tell me there is no file information for those open (missing) pictures, they have heard of this happening before, but had no information on how or if it was resolved. Anyone know how to get these pictures up before I move from MobileMe?
Melissa

Bring up the Activity window (Command+Option+A) for you site and check to see what files are missing and where they belong. The URL for the missing files will tell you what folder they should be in.
Then publish you website to a folder on your hard drive and open it locally with your browser. Check to verify all images and present and the site works as you want. Then you can upload the missing files or folder containing the missing files or the eintire site folder to your GoDaddy account with Cyberduck.

Can you control changes when uploading?

I would like to be able to control the changes made to the website when uploading through FTP and not business catalyst. Apparently the feature is available on business catalyst, but not a 3rd party server. What happens is that if I load the website from different machines, home and work, then all the progress and files uploaded at work get erased if I upload the site from home.
A feature that would allow to keep work done, and only add new files would help my productivity a lot. I am having to remote into office to work on site.

I suspect you've misinterpreted behavior you've seen.
The .muse file records when each page of your site was altered. When a site is uploaded (to BC or Upload to FTP Host) a file named muse_manifest.xml is written to the server. This file records the exact versions of all the files on your site.
The next time you open the .muse file and upload to the same site, Muse reads the muse_manifest.xml file to determine which pages (and associated files) need to be regenerated and uploaded. As long as the same .muse file is used on the two computers, Muse will upload only the minimal set of files.
What many don't immediately realize, is that when you take an update of Muse the code generation is likely to have changed (for performance improvements, bug fixes, compatibility changes for browser updates, bug fixes, new features, etc.). Since the code generation changes with a new version of Muse, and the files on a website are largely interrelated, all the files on the server need to be generated by the same version of Muse. If there's a change in Muse version, a large set of files will need to be uploaded.
Perhaps you have slightly different versions of Muse at work and at home? That would cause a large number of files to be uploaded each time you switch between versions.

Not all of my photos upload to my website when I publish it. when my site finishes publising I get an error that says, "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider."

Not all of my photos upload to my website when I publish it. when my site finishes publising I get an error that says, "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider."

I am publishing directly to an FTP server (option 1). Is this the optimal method or should I be publishing to a folder and then (how do/would I?) publish to my hosting domain?
I'm wondering if this has really anything to do with the publishing process, or whether it just has to do with the photos and/or the photo albums. I've deleted the photo albums with the missing pictures from my site on iweb thinking a file might be corrupt. (I'm getting the albums from iphoto -- drag/drop method into iweb) I then replaced these albums with the same albums as the previous ones from iphoto and then published my site again -- and the EXACT same photos were once again missing in the NEW albums as were missing in the old albums...
Maybe it is a publishing issue, or it could be a photo/file issue. However, these albums aren't very large -- the largest containing 135 photos --
Please! if you have any suggestions or ideas as to what is happening I would be greatly appreciative!
I'm pulling my hair out here trying to diagnose the problem...

Iweb problem - auto creation of subfolders when uploading website

when i originally uploaded my website the uploads went straight to the url <stgeorges.co.uk>. (done via ftp, don't use mobile me)
now when i am updating the site, iweb seems to be automatically creating a subfolder to put updates in <stgeorges.co.uk/st_george> whilst retaining the original out of date pages.
i've had a look through the forums and found one post that seems to imply that this is a symptom rather than a fault of iweb (ie a fault that can't be corrected!)
can anyone tell me a way to correct or bypass this problem?
insofar as i'm aware i haven't modified the iweb page in anyway that it would start to do this. it seems iweb i thinking "oh, let me help" when that is not what i want. i have of course modified the index/home page now and i thought it may be separating owing to a duplicate file, when all i want it to do is replace the original!!!
any help would be most appreciated!!!!

iWeb creates and publishes an index.html and a folder containing the website files. This is what is uploaded to MobileMe using webdav or to a server using FTP.
To remove the extra sub directory you need to publish to a local folder and upload the contents of the folder only, rather than the folder itself, using an FTP application.
This may seem tiresome and unnecessary but, most people who are publishing to a "real" server and purchasing a domain name, probably want their site to be found by search engines and to download faster than the average iWeb built website is capable of.
Adding SEO tags and optimizing files for faster download requires publishing to a local folder anyway....

Code doesn't update when uploading new files to website.

code doesn't update when uploading new files to website. I was using an old DW version for a long time then forced to upgrade when I bought my MacBook Pro. Now when I make changes to my pages and link to new files etc on my harddrive, when i upload the pages it won't image because the code still points to harddrive (this did not used to be a problem)... I manually changed the code on the web host site to point to the site and it loaded fine. But now my files on my harddrive also point to the web host files and now don't image on my computer. I never had to worry about this so far and wonder if the new version has a setting I'm supposed to be aware of so that I can design on my hardrive and upload and it knows that the files are being uploaded with it? Ugh hpe this makes sense - I'm NOT a webs designer and the new DW is way more than I use in it's technology.

Hi
This sounds like you have not defined your site in the site definition.
Follow the steps in these 2 tutorials to set-up your site locally and for the remote server -

When I'm trying to upload my homepage, (=the index.htmI) Iweb is telling me that it is not possible, because there is a unkown error. All the other pages from my website I upload very well,and they are visible. What can I do to repaire?

Hello people from the forum,
I have made a beatifull website, and upload it with filezilla to a server, and also I upload it to a local map.
Everthing was going very well, but i don't get my website on the internet, because one page will not be uploaded (again) and that is my first page, the home page (and for as far I understand also my index.html)
I web telling all the time: can not publish this page because there is an unknown error.
The strange thing is, that I can see, even on the local map as on the online server, that my home page is still there!
the size of the index.html is 303 kb (and when I open it, it is empty, but maybe thats normal?)
And yes, I did a lot of stupide things, by accident I deleted a lot of files and documents on my computer :-((
I reinstall Iweb (3.04) but the error is still there.
So, do I have to reinstall OS lion totaly? But them I i'm afraid that I lost all my webpages (even they are on the server now)
(can I put all on a USB stick, and make later again a new homepage?)
I hope one of you recognize this problem and have a more simpeler solution than my story here above.
Sorry for my english, I hope you understand.

Hello Wyodor,
thanks for your reply on my question.
You are wright the index file is 308 KB.
And offcourse that I delete my files and documents is not an Iweb problem, but because my English is not that good, that I thougt I try to tell the whole story, and hope people can read trough the lines.
Why I didn't use Iweb to upload to the server is because the server company recommanded to use file zilla. And I am a nobody with this kind of things, so I did exactly what they tell me to do.
No, i did not make a backup of Iweb and the domain file, but reading other messages on this forum showed me that I can maybe try to make empty the cashfile (?)
and otherwise I have bad luck and have to make my website again. Offcourse I have a lot of examples from all the pages (copied from the local map to my USB stick) and my website is aprox. 15 Mb, (not so big) so it will cost me a few nigths.
But I'm still hoping on a miracle :-)
greetings Lasource

How to upload to ftp host in adobe muse so it overwrites an existing website

I'm trying to upload to ftp host in adobe muse to publish my muse website live for the first time so that it overwrites a website I have from iweb. I have a domain and hosting service from Ventra IP, I put these details in the 'upload to ftp host' box that appears, it publishes, however my old website that I created in iweb still shows up.

Hi Brianna276. Without knowing your skill level, I will first start out with the easiest fix and ask if you have hit control-F5 to refresh your screen in case your computer is holding a cached version of your site. If that's not it, then I will say that I once had a similar issue and had to go into the files on my site and delete an old index file that was on the remote server. Once I deleted the old one, I was able to see the Muse site (and new index.html file) I uploaded.
