FTP Client via iWeb

Can I use my iWeb site for a FTP Client?
I just downloaded Classic FTP for Mac and it's requesting that I designate a 'site'. I'm inexperienced in this area so not sure what I'm supposed to do.
Any guidance would be extremely appreciated.
Barry

Publish your iWeb site to a local folder and designate that as the site.

  • Uploading iWeb site to personal domain via FTP client (NOT .MAC)

    Hello,
    I want to upload my iweb created website to my personal domain, in other words I do not want my domain to point to my .mac address.
    I am downloading Cyberduck as my FTP client. Will I just send my whole "site" folder to my public folder at my personal domain? Will it be in the right order? How will I update each day? (Can I set up iWeb so that when I click "publish" it will update my personal domain?)
    I was planning on using some wordpress plugins to modify my site. Will this work? I am totally lost, I had no idea I needed so much background info to blog outside of .mac! I guess I just want to design with iweb, and be able to use all the tools of my AN Hosting and wordpress.
    Thanks for your help in advance!

    Will I just send my whole "site" folder to my public folder at my personal domain?
    You send the folder created by iWeb which has the same name as you gave your site inside the iWeb app, plus the index.html file which iWeb created alongside that folder.
    How will I update each day?
    By publishing again to a folder and uploading again via ftp.
    (Can I set up iWeb so that when I click "publish" it will update my personal domain?)
    No. If iWeb could do that you would not need an ftp program to start with.
    I was planning on using some wordpress plugins to modify my site.
    No idea, but generally speaking modifying iWeb to add stuff requires manual editing of the html after publishing and redoing it every time you republish.

  • IWeb integrated ftp won't connect. Settings confirmed via standard ftp client

    I am nable to ftp via the iWeb integrated ftp interface. I have tested the settings via a standard ftp client without issue.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks! Joe

    iWeb is kind of unusual in that it publishes a folder containing the website files and an external index.html that opens the home page. There's also a copy of this index.html file inside the folder.
    This arrangement is to suit publishing to the Apple server - MobileMe - and is kind of illogical when publishing else where.
    Uploading using the iWeb built in FTP means that the URL has the folder name in the path...
    http://www.domain-name.com/Site-Name/Page-Name.html
    To avoid this, the site needs to be published to a local folder using the second method on the page I referred to above and the files inside the folder uploaded to the root on the server....

  • How can FTP users access my NAS system via FTP client?

    I recently purchased a 2 bay, 4TB Buffalo Link Station DUO in order to solve some FTP issues.  I have about 50 users outside my LAN that need to connect drop files on my NAS, however nobody seems able to connect via FTP client.  If they login using the Web Access Dynamic DNS address they can read and write via their web browser, but it's clunky and slow.
    My NAS system has been given the IP adress of 192.168.1.254 which seem to me that it's a local IP adress, not a public/static IP. Do I need to manually assign an IP adress to my NAS system in order fot users to log into that specific IP and go directly to the shared folders on the NAS system?
    Thanks in advance!

    Your NAS is getting that IP because it is behind your Router, which is the normal way to use it and as it should be.
    You can not ASSIGN a public IP you your NAS. Only your ISP can do that and usually that incures an extra cost for more than 1 Public IP address. Usually included with a Business account and most of the time only available with a Business account. ISP do not want home owners running FTP or Mail servers on a residential acounts.
    As noted you have to forward the noraml FTP port, port 21, in your Router to the IP of the NAS. Since you already have that port forwarded to your Mac, which I have no idea why you did that, you have to either change that port forwarding to the NAS IP or make the FTP server on the NAS respond to some other port and forward that on the router to the IP of the NAS. The to access the NAS FTP server you have to enter the piblic IP address of your router followed with a :and port #. XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:22 or whatever port # you assign to the FTP server on the NAS.

  • How to upload site created with Dreamweaver via FTP to the iWEB server?

    Hi everyone,
    I recently created a site on Dreamweaver and want to upload the site, via FTP to the iWEB server. My questions are the following:
    1. What is the FTP host address?
    2. How do I connect to my website via FTP?
    Any help on the following questions will be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hello Lauretta and welcome to the forum.
    You do not connect to iDisk via FTP. iDisk uses WebDAV. Also you do not need to manually upload the published files to iDisk as recommended buy others in this thread. Once the site and server is set up in DW you can publish and upload directly through DW.app Check out this post for more info.

  • Iweb '08 and FTP client

    Bear with me I am new to some of this...I have iweb '08, can I use a FTP client to publish? I read in one place you can only do this with iweb '09, is that the case? Thanks

    Bonjour
    _iWeb '08_ : you can publish
    ▸ to MobileMe
    ▸ to a folder (then you can use a FTP client to publish to your FTP server)
    _iWeb '09_ (& '11) : you can publish
    ▸ to MobileMe
    ▸ to a folder (then you can use a FTP client to publish to your FTP server)
    ▸ directly to your FTP server

  • IWeb's built in ftp client won't upload new files

    iWeb's built in ftp client is mad at me, refusing to upload new files. No doubt because last Sunday I asked GoDaddy to change my domain name (same site, name changed). They did. Immediately nothing would upload. GoDaddy said "Well some FTPs are picky." Problems continued so I said OK, please change the domain name back to its previous name, and all would be put right again. I thought.
    No so. iWeb's ftp client seems still offended for having been disturbed. I make a change. Save. Click Publish Site Changes. Get the window saying Content Rights. Click Continue. The blue line scrolls nicely, "Publishing will continue in the background" shows, then **"Your site has been published"**...
    ...but no changes or files have been uploaded. The old page is the same.
    Looks like I permanently po'd iWeb’s ftp. Should I give up and rebuild my site in a new folder? Try Fetch?
    I shouldn't have done that stupid thing last Sunday. Live and learn.
    Help?

    The root folder on the server is the top level one that you upload your files to.
    You publish your website files to a local folder on your Mac. This produces an index.html file and a folder with the same name as your site in iWeb.
    An FTP application transfers the files on your Mac to the root folder on the server using File Transfer Protocol.
    Unlike Cyberduck, most shareware FTP applications will show both the files on your Mac and those on the server in the same window so its just a question of browsing to the folder containing your website files on your Mac and dragging them across to the icon of the root folder on your server. The application will take care of the rest.
    The process really is just about as simple as dragging files from one folder on your Mac to another as long as you have the FTP application set up correctly.

  • Can not Access disk drive attached to WRT350N via an FTP client

    Background
     I have a WRT350N v1 running the most current firmware. I have a static IP address for the WRT350N and I can ping it over the internet.  I have a disk drive attached to the 350N with a FAT32 partition that has been set up for shared access for a selected group and user. I have worked with cicso/linksys support to verify the linksys350N is set up correctly (?).
    Problem
    I can not access the disk drive attached to the WRT350N via an FTP client. I have tried the following FTP Clients: Transmit and Filezilla.  I get a "Connection established, waiting for welcome message...' message on the FTP client. Then it says Connect timeout, Can not connect to server. I CAN connect to other FTP sites so its not the FTP client software.
    What I have done so far
    1. deleted the old  and added a new FTP group and user
    2.  unplugged and reconnected my WRT350N and my cable modem
    3. Contacted Cisco/linksys support on-line and they verified my setup and can ping my 350N but thats as far as they are willing to help
    I haven' a clue as to what to do next. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. 

    Access your router set-up and make sure you have :
    1. Enabled FTP Server and Internet Access under the FTP Server subtab under Storage...
    2. Reduced the MTU size to 1300 under SetUp...
    3. Unchecked Filter Anonymous Internet Requests...
    If you have done all this and nothing works, then, you need to upgrade your router's firmware and re-configure your router and then enter the settings...
    Download Firmware 3.23 MB...
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
    In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Now reset your router :
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
    1. Enable FTP Server and Internet Access under the FTP Server subtab under Storage...
    2. Reduce the MTU size to 1300 under SetUp...3. Uncheck Filter Anonymous Internet Requests...See if this works for you...

  • Using FTP clients to publish to iWeb

    I understand fully that:
    http://web.mac.com/YourMemberName/iWeb/SiteName
    is the url for my iWeb site.
    My question is how does that translate into the typical required login information of ordinary FTP clients such as Cyberduck?
    I have tried many combinations of server names, user names, paths, passwords and NOTHING will get me logged into my iWeb site with an FTP client.
    The "Publish" button in iWeb works fine, but for various reasons, I would like to access the site with an ordinary FTP client.
    Thanks in advance for any help with this. I am a newbie to Mac and OS X, but have 20 years of serious experience with the MS juggernaut
    windowsrefugee

    Like Tom mentioned, your iWeb site actually resides on your iDisk...and transfers to and from your iDisk are accomplished through the webDAV protocol instead of FTP. Goliath is a webDAV client. You can also accomplish an "upload" to your iDisk just by mounting your iDisk to your desktop (Apple-Shift-i) and then dragging and dropping whatever you want to transfer. Windows also supports webDAV, so the dragging and dropping transfers will work there, too, after you mount your iDisk as a network drive.
    In terms of the URLs to use, the basic URL for your iDisk is as follows:
    http://idisk.mac.com/username
    This and any other iDisk URL should prompt for your .Mac username and password.
    You can also specify exactly which folder you want to access by appending the appropriate foldername to the end of the basic URL.
    As far as how all this fits with iWeb, consider the following example...
    http://web.mac.com/username is quasi-equivalent to http://idisk.mac.com/username/Web/Sites/index.html
    ...Except that it would prompt you for your .Mac username and password. This would be an interesting and alternative way to password protect your site if you wanted to do it with your .Mac user/pass.

  • FTP client is not working in active mode

    Hi,
    I have a ftp issue trying to download iweb files.
    My provider enabled me a ftp access.
    I tried to connect to it with transmit or rbrowser ftp client (passive mode disabled). The connection works well but i can not retrieve the list of files.
    However using my PC and filezilla ftp client in active mode, the connection did work properly.
    Any idea to help make this connection work on my mac ?
    Thanks

    Perhaps this will help...
    http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html
    "The main problem with active mode FTP actually falls on the client side. The FTP client doesn't make the actual connection to the data port of the server--it simply tells the server what port it is listening on and the server connects back to the specified port on the client. From the client side firewall this appears to be an outside system initiating a connection to an internal client--something that is usually blocked."

  • Looking for a specific feature in an FTP Client

    Hello!
    I am looking for a "simple" feature in any FTP client for OS X.
    I have tried Fetch, Transmit, CyberDuck and Interarchy 7.x and none had the ability to throttle uploads/downloads. I work with a limited bandwidth and sometimes have to download files (or upload) in the background but at a very slow speed (because the peer has a poor connection).
    None of these nice (and they are nice!) ftp programs can do this. I have to either use wget via the command line (wget --limit-rate=xx) or use Total Commander for Windows inside a Parallels Virtual Machine.
    Does anybody know about a Mac FTP client that can throttle and enqueue items easily?
    Thanks in advance!

    Look at "lftp". It as about a zillion parameters that can be set. One of them is "net:limit-total-rate"
    Quoted from the Docs....
    limit transfer rate of all connections in sum. 0 means unlimited. You can specify two numbers separated by colon to limit download and upload rate separately. Note that sockets have receive buffers on them, this can lead to network link load higher than this rate limit just after transfer beginning. You can try to set net:socket-buffer to relatively small value to avoid this.
    Find lftp here lftp.yar.ru It is also in thr Fink archive. http://fink.sourceforge.net/

  • FTP publishing on iWeb to replace existing site - files not appearing.

    On iWeb, I used FTP publishing to replace my existing site files, then deleted the original files but not only has the new site files not appeared in my public html folder but I get the message:The requested URL /www.geofflevitus.com was not found on this server.
    Additionally, a 404 Not Founderror was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    but I get the message:The requested URL /www.geofflevitus.com was not found on this server.
    That's an indication that the index.html file that is created alongside the site folder by iWeb is missing. 
    Try publishing your site to a folder on your hard driive and use a 3rd part ftp client like the free  Cyberduck to upload the site folder and the index.html file.
    Cyberduck or Transmit will let you view your server folder in a Finder like window where you can see which files are missing.

  • How to get the FTP clients to work?

    This is something that (to me at least) should be trivial but I just can't
    get it to work at all.
    How do you get an FTP client to work?
    I've tried several GUI clients as well as the terminal FTP command and they
    all seem to get stuck entering passive mode - according to the log entries
    they send the command.... And then nothing or a timeout, the following is
    from the terminal FTP command:
    Titania:~ susan$ ftp ftp.apple.com
    Trying 17.254.16.11...
    Connected to ftp.apple.com.
    220 17.254.16.11 FTP server ready
    Name (ftp.apple.com:susan): anonymous
    331 Anonymous login ok, send your complete email address as your password.
    Password:

    Using binary mode to transfer files.
    ftp> ls

    227 Entering Passive Mode (17,254,16,11,223,157).
    200 PORT command successful
    421 Service not available, remote server timed out. Connection closed
    ftp>
    In my System Preferences -> Network panel in the Proxies tab, I have the
    "use Passive FTP mode (PASV) checked.
    I also have checked the FTP firewall option (but I think that is only if I'm
    acting as an FTP server).
    I am connected to the internet via a Netgear wireless router.
    I also have an old Windows laptop that also uses the same wireless router
    and it can FTP quite happily!!!!!
    Any suggestions would be gratefully received.
    Susan

    ejn - thanks for your continued assistance.
    I've tried turning the firewall off but this does not appear to make any difference(*). Also, I have Parallels installed and I'm sharing the internet connection with this (even though Parallels itself is not currently running). Turning this sharing off doesn't seem to change anything either.
    I have noticed some entries in the ifpw.log file that coincide with some of the ftp actions. Given the following terminal session:
    Titania:~ susan$ ftp ftp.apple.com
    Trying 17.254.16.10...
    Connected to ftp.apple.com.
    220 17.254.16.10 FTP server ready
    Name (ftp.apple.com:susan): anonymous

    200 PORT command successful
    421 Service not available, remote server timed out. Connection closed
    ftp>
    at the time the "200 PORT command successful" is displayed, the ifpw log starts showing:

    which makes sense as the system tries to go for an active transfer.
    (*) Actually, while I've been writing this, I've been playing on the terminal as well. I've found the combination of:
    1) turning off the firewall
    2) starting ftp
    3) issuing the 'passive' command to turn off passive mode
    4) issuing 'ls' etc. works
    Looks like I've not been waiting long enough for the ftp client to get sick of trying the passive transfer and switching to an active one with the firewakk turned off!
    Still doesn't answer the question - why does passive mode not work?

  • Interesting ftp client speed issue

    I've come across the poor ftp speeds on my home lan while the net.inet.tcp_sockthreshold = 0 instead of the normal 256. I had set it to 0 so I can force the send/recvspace mibs to 32768 for better internet operation and efficiency. I had no idea I would be sacrificing ftp speed on my lan. More detail: Lan is 100MBFD (verified), with sockthreshold =0, I get 1.8mb/sec on ftp transfers, with it set to the default of 256, the speed jumps to 8.8mb/sec. These speed ratings are produced at the end of the file transfer via the ftp client. I'm not sure if anyone else has seen this, I discovered it while trying to tweak some AFP/SMB copy speed settings.
    Power Mac G5 Dual 2Ghz/iBook G4 1.42Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   2.5 Gig, Rad 9800 Pro 256M

    No, I've never enabled that. I got samba tuned nicely with the SO_RCVBUF and SO_SNDBUF at 32768 (confirmed by tcpdump), but my ftp get is still pretty slow, I guess I'll stick to smb to transfer data.

  • FTP Client question

    I would like to have my business website (built using iWeb) hosted with another service other than .Mac. I have registered my domain name with GoDaddy and am looking at GoDaddy to host my website. I understand I need an FTP Client and GoDaddy directed me to Fetch for Mac. Also, if I purchase GoDaddy's web hosting service, I have to choose between Windows shared hosting and Linux shared hosting. I'm assuming I need the Linux shared hosting.
    Can somebody tell me whether I am making the right choice to:
    1) Host my site at GoDaddy
    2) Purchase Fetch FTP Client
    3) Choose Linux shared hosting
    Thanks for your help,
    Randy

    godaddy has a good rep.
    fetch works fine. many like cyberduck or transmit
    linux is the choice
