FTP problem on iWeb

G'day, I have just re built my website using iWeb 09. I built it many years ago using dreamweaver 2!!. I have just tried publishing the site using FTP but it keeps saying "unable to connect please verify your settings etc'" I am using the same settings that I have used on dreamweaver ( i have CS3 now ) dreamweaver connects to my sit ...but iWeb wont using the same settings. Has anyone else come across this problem? Is it possible to open my iWeb built site in dreamweaver and then publish from there? Thank you to anyone that takes the time to help out.
Cheers

Not sure if this helps your situation, but I just figured out two things that made my iWeb09 finally upload by ftp okay. First, the directory/path name you type in should not include the domain name (i.e. httpdocs/foldername), but without http://www.url.com/. That's because you already typed in the domain name elsewhere.
Second, iWeb09 is publishing to the right path (windows based ftp server), so I can see that the folder and files have arrived my ftp server, but the link that iWeb09 created is wrong.
So if click on VISIT button, you can see the path name iWeb09 created is missing the directory/path name.
iWeb only gave me the http://www.url.com/iWeb_SiteName. I had to add the right path which was http://www.url.com/foldername/iWeb_SiteName. (Note that httpdocs did not have to be typed.)
Hope this helps you

Problem uploading iWeb site to Hostgator

I just created a site with iWeb, and got a host account with HostGator. My domain name came from NameCheap.com, so I changed the DNS as instructed. I then tried to publish my site. I entered the IP address that HostGator provided to me in iWeb's Server Settings box titled "Server address," then entered my username and password. I clicked Test Connection, but I keep getting a message telling me that I am offline. I am definitely online, and I tested the IP address with Cyberduck successfully, so it's a problem with iWeb. Does it work to enter the IP address in "Server Address," or am I supposed to wait until the DNS change takes effect and enter a different server address?

Publish your site to a folder on your HD and use Cyberduck to upload the contents of that folder, the site folder and an index.html file, to your host server. Cyberduck is reported to be much more reliable that the built in ftp client of iWeb.

FTP problem with FreeBSD 8 and ProFTP version 1.3.2c

My web host just updated my server to FreeBSD 8. The FTP functionality in iWeb stopped working after the update. It appears to be a permission problem, but Transmit works flawlessly.
Any ideas as to why iWeb and my server aren't playing nice?
Thanks!

Yes, I worked with my web host yesterday to try to figure it out.
Just because Transmit works that doesn't mean that I should have to settle with using it. I like using the built-in functionality in iWeb.
The odd thing is that one works and the other doesn't. Hence my question.

I have more problems in iWeb than I can begin to describe. For one, after an "unexpected shutdown" of iWeb, it just deleted 10 of my published pages.

I published the updates to my site last night. Today I have had to make some adjustments. I saved iWeb before I left for lunch just in case. After lunch, I made more changes and through an issue with a photo album, iWeb "unexpectedly quit". When I went to Revert to Saved..., it did revert to saved, which I didn't realize until then that somehow iWeb had deleted 10 pages before I saved it. So now I have lost 10 pages.
Every time I open iWeb, it tells me it no longer has the links to documents or any of the pictures. Every time I work on iWeb, I have to reattached all the documents and re upload all the pictures all over my site.
I could write for hours about the problems with iWeb. Certainly I am doing something wrong ... but my IT company has no idea what is wrong or how to fix it.
I have iWeb version 3.0.4 (601)

First replace your domain file that's in the Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder with a backup copy that was made before this happened.
If you don't have a backup copy try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
3 - launch iWeb and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Problem with iWeb 09, after the publication in a local file.

*Subject: problem with iWeb 09, after the publication in a local file, i can't see my blog, nor my photos, but before that all was working fine.*
After the publication in the local file, I see all my pages, but there is a mistake on the page "Blog" where I just can see the top of my page, it's cut and I can't see it entirely, so I can't see the inputs while I should see 3 news or 3 inputs. And it's the same for the "Photos" page where the page is cut, I can't see the photos, and it's just written : "Put the slide show and subscribe".To finish, when I want to activate the comments, it doesn't work neither.
Please help me.

I want to activate the comments, it doesn't work neither.
The comments feature is only available when you publish to the MobileMe server, so I don't think you can use it when you publish to a local file.

It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it. (Even though I've now noticed you mis-spelled it! - anyway, never post your address in a forum.)
You have a site here: http://virginiagordon.com/www.virginiagordon.com/WELCOME.html
If that's not the page you are having trouble with, what is that page's URL?

Problem with iWeb publishing to IE

Hello, I am experiencing a problem with iWeb '08 publishing content to Internet Explorer. The images and web pages look fine in Safari and in Firefox, but a lot of the web page images are mirrored in IE, covering up large parts of the text. Please don't tell me I have to spend $79.00 on upgrading to iLife '09. I just upgraded my iWorks to '09, but would upgrading to '09 in this instance even be the answer? Please advise. I fear that I will alienating any of my IE web surfers. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello and welcome to the board.
IE is a terrible browser to render pages made with IWeb (I'm not sure upgrading to ILife 09 will fix your problem).
I decided to somewhat "alienate" my IE visitor by putting a message on my home page that recommend them to use a compatible browser. Check my page (using IE here: http://www.wesdotphotography.com/Home.html) and look at the message. Also if you use any other browser you will not see my message and will experience a better browsing. It is not the fault of IWeb but more like Microsoft not writing a proper browser. a lot of people will confirm my say.
Search this forum and you will see a lot of complaints about IE.
Good luck
Thierry

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.

NAS200 Ftp problem

Hi,
I have a little problem with my NAS200. When I try to connect to ftp, I got an error like this:
200 transfer type changed to ascii
227 entering passive mode
Whats wrong ?

Hi gieras. Has this worked before? Have you tried to access it using another computer? Possble reason why you can't access it is Windows firewall settings on your computer. I am not really familiar with the error codes that you mentioned but I've read another post here that may help: https://community.linksys.com/t5/Network-Storage/NAS200-FTP-Problem/td-p/120996

A fix to personal web domain name problem between iWeb and GoDaddy

There are numerous posts about problems with iWeb understanding both your personal name domain with and without the www.prefix. After five days, 25 calls to both Apple and GoDaddy where I was getting much conflicting advice even within each organization, and I experienced many problems such as the site not being found and iWeb asking for password authorization whenever anyone visited the site. The good news is that I was finally able to resolve the problem with these simple steps:
First, check that your Web site actually exists by going to http://web.mac.com/yourusername
If that works then you need to set up a forward in GoDaddy.
In GoDaddy's account manager, make sure that the forwarding address is set to http://web.mac.com/yourusername. This must be the same address that you just checked through your browser. (I also advise you to NOT USE the .ME designation that Apple is moving to. It's not solid yet. .MAC will work for a long time. It's web.mac.com/ that will work).
Then click on the Total DNS Control and MX Records link.
This is where my instructions that work differ from many other instructions, but heed my advice and you'll save a lot of time.
Look in the CNAMES area and make sure that the www host alias points to "@" and not to anything else such as "web.me.com" or "www.mac.com". If you don't have such an entry, then create one by clicking on the "add a new CNAME Record"button. Caution - if you don't use the "@" (at sign) here you WILL run into trouble where your custom domain name will only work WITHOUT a "www." prefix. (While this may not be a problem for your mac friends, most everyone using a PC will think they need to type in a "WWW." and that will cause a problem).
Then if you wish, you can also go back into your domain forwarding area and click on the masking tab and click to enable masking. This will make your url only show the short personal domain name rather than the very long iWeb mobile me URL appended with your personal domain name.
Confirm your entry, and then wait anywhere from 20 minutes to four hours or more for the tens of thousands of servers around the world to repopulate those instructions. I was able to see a change take place in minutes where my associate in another state didn't see the change for two hours. Don't worry, just wait.
If you do this, you should be able to then go to your Web site through either www.YourPersonalDomainName.com or YourPersonalDomainName.com
Good luck!

I was finally able to resolve the problem with these simple steps:
Many people would not be interested in using url forwarding/masking as you suggest to solve this issue, since that makes it impossible to bookmark individual pages of your site. For those who do wish to set the www CNAME to web.mac.com, I think the problem can normally be solved by also setting the @ A Record to 17.250.248.34.

Mobileme problem med iweb

Jeg har et site, der var tilknyttet mobileme og lavet i iweb, som jeg nu prøver at udgive via FTP (stadig via iweb), men selvom det ser ud til at virke, er det stadig Apples 'mobileme is closed'-besked, der kommer frem på hjemmesiden. Hvad skal jeg gøre?

Google translation :
"I have a site that was associated with mobileme and made in iweb as I am now trying to publish via FTP (still via iweb), but even if it seems to work, it's still Apple's' mobileme ice closed'-bitter"
Go where you manage your domainname and delete the CNAME record or if you use URL forwarding, the setting that does so.
In general, remove all links that point to MMe.
In other words : remember what you did in the past to point to MobileMe. Now reverse that process.
iWeb is not involved.

Problems with iWeb, after installing Lion

Hi,
Ever since I installed Lion, I have been having problems with iWeb. Any changes I make in iWeb, and then publish to my site, via mobileme, are not saved, and the site reverts to the orignial site, after closing the website, and iWeb also loses the cahnges. I am unable to sue the Publish Site button, and the option for Publish Site changes is not available.
I am using iLife 11.
These problems have only occurred since I installed Lion.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Nozza

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

FTP Problems with Dreamweaver 8

The webmaster for the library I work for recently had
difficulty with her computer. She did a system restore from her
discs, and, after that, reinstalled Dreamweaver 8. She sent me an
email to let me know she needed my assistance setting her DW FTP
back up.
While her computer was down I decided to reorganize the
website files. There were dozens of old files and most of the
images and html were scattered throught the main part of the file
tree. She really liked the changes, but, after connecting her to
the site and downloading all the files, a problem arose.
Once she got her laptop back home every time she'd connect to
the FTP she got a group of folders named "Windows, Linux,
Speedtest" and a few others. I contacted our webhost and they told
me this meant she was logging in anonymously. We have our login
name and password in correctly, though, so this shouldn't happen.
No one at our ISP could help me do to them not being familiar with
Dreamweaver.
After playing around with the machine a bit I found that if I
deleted the site from the FTP and re-did it using the same folders
then the first connection was succesful. But, after disconnecting,
the same problem happens again.
I found this article and wondered if it could be causing our
problem.
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=3491671c
The only thing that makes me think it might not be is the
fact that our login and password stays in the box, but, for some
reason, the FTP is connecting anonymously. Could her doing a
recovery have led to this? Maybe there's an update she needs to
apply that she didn't get after doing the recovery?

It's hard to know what kind of things happened with your
moving stuff around
outside of DW.
Suffice it to say that most FTP problems are router/firewall
related. Does
this help at all?

Downloading FTP site into iWeb

I have an FTP website which was written and uploaded some time ago from a Windows PC. I would now like to be able to edit the site from my home iMac.
So far I have been unable to download the files from the site into iWeb.
Can anyone please tell me how to download the files from my old FTP site into iWeb?

iWeb cannot import webpages.
If you want these pages in iWeb, add a new page and then copy/paste the content from your current webpage(s).
Nice detail, if you copy text, do paste in iWeb. No need for adding a textbox first. The text will retain it's formatting.
Images you simply drag from your webpage to the page in iWeb.

Index problems with iweb 09 and ftp uploads

Hi,
after several issues with the site i eventually re-built and published with iweb 09's built in ftp.
The problem i have is that the published site goes in a folder called Site on my server but the index page that redirects to the welcome.html file doesn't direct it to inside the site folder. This means when i navigate to the site it comes up as welcome.html not found on this server.
I've resorted to filezilla again as when i publish to a local folder and upload it works ok.
I still want to resolve this as the iweb ftp will publish just the canges so is loads quicker.
I imagine the only way to resolve this is to change the settings in the iweb site settings page.
does anyone know if i need to tell iweb a different path other than the server url.
EG; my url is www.thepaddyproject.co.uk
iweb put the site on the server ok (www.thepaddyproject.co.uk/Site
the index page needs to redirect to www.thepaddyproject.co.uk/Site/Welcome.html
any help appreciated
