FTP site and RoboHelp output

Hi,
Is it possible to use an FTP site to distribute a RoboHelp
HTML output (.chm) and have all links work?

Hi Gastard23 and welcome to our community
As long as the .CHM is being saved locally, things should
work. But you may find that you still need the info in
this
link for the .CHMs that are downloaded, as they could be
blocked by Windows.
Cheers... Rick

How can I find out the server port for a secured FTP site and creating a FTP Connection Manager

I have to create a FTP Task to go out and get the files that our 3rd party vendor will be dropping on a secured FTP site. I have all the credentials to access that Secured FTP Site and have successfully done so through FileZilla.
Now I need to set-up a FTP Task to go out and get their files and in so doing create a FTP Connection Manager. Is there any way I can determine the
Server Port number from the Secured FTP site? I let it default to 21 and tried the Test Connect and it failed.
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

Hi ITBobbyP,
SSIS has a built in FTP task, while this only works for the FTP protocol, it doesn’t support SFTP. But there are some free clients like WinSCP and
SSIS SFTP Task Control Flow Component
available in the CodePlex which can invoked from SSIS.

With MobileMe Closed: How to forward iweb "web.me..." address to new FTP site and custom domain name?

I had a mobile me "web.me.com..." domain name and know I need to upload to a new FTP site with a new domain. I know how to do that but am wondering...
Is there a way to forward my old web.me address to the new domain? I'll probably be using GoDaddy's or 1&1 domain hosting.
There are many people who have my old web.me address and I won't be able to tell them the new address. I don't want them to go away if they see the "mobile me closed" page and don't know where my new site is at. I just want it to automatically forward.
thanks

Its too late to do that as the forward would need to be on the Apple server and its closed now.
The best you can do is to sign up for hosting and get a domain name...

FireFTP seems corrupted. I can't go to FTP sites and it opens itself in a second tab whenever I open Firefox

When I open Firefox, a second tab opens at the same time: chrome://firefrp/content/fireftp.xul. When I open FireFTP I cannot log onto an FTP site. I can't add an account or access an account

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling FireFTP?
In order to uninstall an extension, please do the following:
#From the Firefox window click the Firefox button at the top left and select ''Add-ons'', or, if the Firefox button is not shown, click the ''Tools'' menu and click ''Add-ons''.
#Once the Add-on Manager has opened in a new tab, click the ''Extensions'' button on the left side of the window.
#You should now see a list of your installed extensions on the right side together with buttons on the right side of each extension.
#To remove an extension from Firefox, simply click the ''Remove'' button. You should see a message that informs you about the successful removal of the add-on.
#Note that some add-ons require a Firefox restart to be removed completely. To perform a Firefox restart after the add-on removal, click the ''Restart now'' link in the message.
You can find further information about uninstalling extensions in the following articles:
[[Disable or remove Add-ons]]
[[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]]

I want to read a file which is in a zip and this zip file is at ftp site

i am facing this problem and try to find the solution from last month please help me
i want to read a file which in ziped and this zip file is at ftp site. and i want to read this file without downloading this zip file to local machine. i have to read it from ftp location only

You can open an URLConnection to a file on an FTP server (search this forum to find out how). You can get the InputStream from the URLConnection and feed it to ZipInputStream. That should do the job.

How can I display the folders in an ftp site in Windows Explorer during a Firefox web browsing session?

I would like to view and select multiple files from a folder on an ftp site and copy them to a folder on my computer, but with Firefox it seems I have to plod through one file at a time. In IE there is a Page button which has an option to display the site in Windows Explorer, which allows me to select and copy as many files as I want at one time.
Does such a feature exist in Firefox, or an approximation?
Thank you

That is done via an onbeforeunload or onunload event that displays a JavaScript alert.

You can try to search for a Greasemonkey script to reset and block such events.

Remote FTP site GMT offset issue

When I have a DW remote FTP site, and look at the remote site
the timestamps are ahead of mine.
I can PUT a file right now and the remote timestamp will
appear +4 hrs, which is correct GMT time.
I look at the FTP log and see that the LIST (ls) command is
pulling back timestamps +4 hrs.
If t telnet to the server an pull the directory listing (ls
-l) for the directory it displays the modifiied timestamp in local
time (my EDT times). When I use simple command line FTP from my
workstation to get to the remote sever, the ls command returns the
GMT version of the time. So now I now why the times appear off. I
can look in the FTP log and see the same result and using FTP from
a command line.
Problem 1: When I try to use synchronization, it compares my
local file timestamps (EDT times) to the remote listing (GMT
times). This usually means it pesters me by saying the remote file
was modified after the local one, Do I really want to update?
Around the thousandth time, that really gets tedious.
Problem 2: When I put a file, the modified date is the time
that I am doing the put, not the modified time on my local file.
This also tends to make the remote file seem to be after the
modified time I have locally.
Is there some work around. Do I need to change something on
the remote server or locally so that FTP can deal with the timezone
offset. And can the DW FTP put make the same date on the remote
file as the file's local modified date, instead of the timestamp of
the PUT, when puting uisng FTP.

I added this line to my configuration and had them stop blocking my traffic on the other end.
nat (outside,inside) source static NETWORK_GRP_10.0.16_17.0_24 NETWORK_GRP_192.168.16_17.0_24 destination static NETWORK_OBJ_192.168.16.0_24 NETWORK_OBJ_192.168.16.0_24

Create folder in FTP site

Hello,
I have an FTP site that is used in conjunction with one of my processes. I would like to be able to check if a particular folder already exists in the FTP site, and if it doesn't create one. I have been able to do this within the regular file system (using the file utilities components Is Directory and Make Directory), but am having trouble setting this up in an FTP site. I have been trying to use those same components used for the file utilities, but can't seem to make it happen. Is it possible, and how should I go about doing this? Thank you ahead of time for any assistance.

Kendy,
Yes I am able to perform this task in the file system without any problems (creating network folders on shared network drives). I would like to be able to do the same with an FTP server. Aside from using an FTP server (uploading and downloading), I guess I'm lacking knowledge of how the back end of an FTP server works (I haven't had much luck in my google searches on the topic either). Should their be an accompanying file system location for an FTP site, or is FTP something that is set up on its own, seperate from a file system? If there is an accompanying file system location for an FTP server, then I can use the File Utility components to search for the folder, and create it if it doesn't already exist. I have tried doing this with the FTP site URL but am unable to get the MakeDir to work in this regard. I have also tried using the Put component from the FTP utilities. Placing a txt file in a folder that doesn't exist on my FTP server in hopes that it would create the directory, but this does not work either. I can Put the file in folders that already exist on the FTP site, but cannot automatically add these folders through a workflow.

FF is not letting me open an FTP site.

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
Please continue here: [[/questions/860511]]</blockquote>
Well, I am trying to open an FTP site, and FF says the connection timed out. I know that when I use this site in Internet Explorer I have to click on "open this as FTP" or something like that. Can you help??

Firefox only supports downloading via passive FTP.<br />
If a server needs active FTP or if you need to upload then look at an extension like FireFTP or an external program like FileZilla.
You can look at:
* FireFTP: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/fireftp/
* FileZilla: http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/

Access problem to FTP site

I've set up my FTP site and it works perfectly since the past two years with WSFTP on PC
Now, I have a Mac book And I'm unable to connect to my FTP server with the @connect to server@ link in the finder
I run OSX Server 10.3.9 PLZ help... It's kind of unusual to have a problem from mac to mac and no problems from pc to mac...

You could try to upgrade the router's firmware. Use for new firmware is to fix bugs that have been discovered with the router. Try to download here. That would link you to Linksys download page for new firmware of a version 2 BEFW11S4.

Files on FTP site won't load

My goal is to link together a course, a quiz for the course,
and a course survey that are all going to be hosted on a
password-protected FTP site. My first attempt to do this was by
going into movie preferences and pointing movie 1 to movie 2 and so
on. This works locally and it works if I put all files in the root
of the FTP site, but if I put the files in a subfolder (making the
appropriate path changes in the movie and republishing them), movie
1 ends and doesn't load movie 2. Using sub-folders is neccessary to
avoide confusing learners who will be accessing the FTP site.
I also tried using the Captivate Player and as with the other
method, it works locally. Regardless of where on the FTP site I put
the files, none of the movies load.
It seems to me that this is a problem that I'll have to take
up with my Network Admin, but it's Sunday and I was hoping that one
of you had an insight that could help me fix the problem today.
Michael

Don't apologize, Michael, we've all been "stressed out". You
said . . .
quote:
1. I published a movie to the FTP site as an SWF file, and when
I ran the HTML file for the movie, the movie ran. I then published
two movies to the site as SWF files that are linked together (the
first one linked to the second one in the movie preferences), then
I ran movie A. It ran and and then movie B started.
Good. Step 1 mission accomplished!
You said . . .
quote:
2. I created a sub-folder in the FTP site and placed the linked
SWF files there. Movie A runs, but movie B doesn't run when movie A
ends.
Taking you at your word, you
placed only the SWF file in the sub-folder, so the link was
broken - thus, the 2nd movie
couldn't run.
You said . . .
quote:
3. I published three movies to the root of the FTP site as SWF
files. I also uploaded the Captivate Player files to the site. I
modified the Player XML file so that the 3 SWF files are being
used. When I load the player, the menu shows the three movies, but
none of them will load.
Check the other Captivate Player files. Sounds
like something got left out when you either 1) configured Captivate
Player, or 2) uploaded the Captivate Player support files. From
what you said here, it sounds like it is Captivate Player that
isn't running, not the movies in the XML. You might double-check to
see if you are opening the "Index.HTML". Matter of fact, you might
even want to change the name of Index.HTML and link to the new name
. . . it won't fix this problem, but after you get it fixed, you
might find that renaming Index.HTML will eliminate some confusion.
Just a thought.
Overall Michael, it sounds to me like you are really tired
and expecting too much of yourself in that state. Take a fresh look
at it after getting some rest and a new perspective. Just another
thought, but this one is even better than the first.

FTP login and password are not saved on some sites

On some of my sites the FTP login and password are not saved
(even though the "saved" box is checked). Dreamweaver 8.0 on XP
SP2. I can export the site information and then import the same
file exported and there still will be no login or password placed
in the login or password window. I opened the exported .ste files
in notepad and found the login correct and the password incorrect.
I uninstalled Dreamveaver and reinstalled still same
problem.

Ok, I just spent about 3 hours on this. Here's the latest
that I've found. I had looked at the knowledgebase and my registry
matched what was suggested. As this has been an ongoing issue for
me, I thought it was still an issue. Apparently 8.02 did have some
improvements.
I can only guess that many of the 36 sites I have in the Site
Manager lost info before the .02 update.. or I hope so.
I did however discover that there is still what could be
considered a minor bug. I went in to Manage Sites and selected edit
for all of my sites, fixing the ones that had lost their user/pass
info. I'm not positive, but I think only the last edited site kept
it's data.
I discovered after many checks on all the sites, over and
over and over, that it appears that they are now holding the data,
but, if I add the user/pass, I must not only click the OK button to
close that particular site, but I must also click the 'Done' button
before only that one will be saved.
So, I thought I was fixing logins when in fact I was only
fixing one at a time.. Completely closing 'Manage Site' seemed to
hold one new set of login data each time. Seems that it shouldn't
be this way.
But I must say, I am rejoicing at the moment, as I actually
have all my sites set up with FTP info and I am now looking forward
to hopefully adding more and maybe they'll actually be available
for the next editing session.

I have just uploaded my iWeb site to a FTP host and most of the site is ok however a lot of the text has gone very strange! How can i get it to publish the same as I designed it? Thanks in advance....

Please help! I have just uploaded my iweb site to a FTP Host and most of the site is ok however a lot of the text has gone wrong! Many thanks...

Maybe you could let me know which hosting service you are using so that I can add them to my list of those NOT recommended for iWeb users!
I just dealt with one today who claimed the iWeb sites were incompatible and that the first line of code should be deleted from every HTML file before upload to their server.
They didn't even offer the information that it would be a lot easier to modify the .htaccess file never mind offer to do it for a customer.
Nobody should expect to pay for service like this and the answer is to dump them and go to a company that gives you some value and support for your money. If the ones on this page don't meet your requirements for cost and service...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
... search this forum for those recommended by other users. There's a long list of them.

RoboHelp 7 and XML output

Can RoboHelp 7 output topics as XML (.xml files) ?
We are researching upgrading to RoboHelp 7 from our RoboHelp
HTML 2002 versions. We skipped the X-series upgrades, but I recall
reading that the X-series supported XML in some way. I downloaded
the RH7 trial version and could not find anything in the Help about
XML. Then it seems that suddenly an XML Output icon appeared in the
Single Source Layouts pane. It was not there previously. I then
could generate xhtml (.htm) files.
We called sales who didn't seem to know and said we'd need a
valid license to ask tech support.
Can someone enlighten me about the history of the X-series
and XML output, and what is actually possible for XML from RH7? And
what you need to do to get the XML Output to appear in the Single
Source Layoutspane? XML Output is not covered anywhere I found in
help or knowledge base, but it seems so huge a deal that it makes
me think I must be missing something.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Peter
Thanks for your help. In the Single Source Layouts pane, I
clicked create Layout, and selected XML Output, and it now appears
in the Single Source Layouts screen. Still have some questions.
1\ Do you know any of the history of what kind of XML support
was offered in the X-series, and if version 7 offers less, more, or
the same support?
2\ Any idea why there is NOTHING mentioned in the RoboHelp
Help if you search using XML or XML output? Even more curious is
when I click the Help button from the XML Output Options box, I do
find a topic called XML Output Options. I wonder why their main
Search tool doesn't find this...
We were hoping to migrate to XML using XMetaL, but Mgt is
balking due to the time and costs involved in conversion and
translation issues. Which is why we may need to upgrade RH2002 to
RH7, so our legacy docs remain pretty much intact. But at the same
time, we want to know what the current RH XML capabilites are, and
are wondering what their plans are for the future, like, will they
offer real XML out to the current major tech writing standard,
DITA. We hope to start authoring new docs only then using XMetal so
we don't take the conversion/translation memory hit.
So yes, our XML questions are deliberate.
