How to manage the host root folder?

I'm using iWeb08, and I'm on system OSX 10.5.8.
Last week I flawlessly transferred my site from Apple to another host.
My question is, to make a few simple changes to it, {mostly text and links}, do I have to load up ALL the files again to the ftp host?  I don't know how to manage the root folder yet and I don't want to clutter the folder or cause the site to malfunction.
Is there any useful posts on managing a hosting root folder??
Problems or thing I should know using iWeb08?
Thanks...  Ghary.com

Once you get to know the file structure its possible to just upload the changed files by intelligent guesswork.
You can also look at the date on the local published files but this would be rather time consuming.
Most FTP apps have a synchronise feature to handle this for you but you need to set this up carefully and do a test run to make sure it doesn't wipe out essential files on the server.
If you do a lot of updates and you want to get your web pages downloading faster, an optimizer will do all the thinking for you. These screenshots are of one of Ton Brand's Optimizers - HTML Optimizer Plus
On the first pass all the files are optimized and uploaded...
After that, Smart Handling is turned on and only the changed files are processed...
The original folder is 10.1 MB and the Optimized one is 7.7 MB. That's without optimizing the PNG images. The finished site downloads fast. It needs to since its designed to work on mobile devices.

  • Error:  The local root folder, ZZZZZZ, does not exist.  Please...

    Everyday now upon firing up Dreamweaver I am getting the same error. As long as I worked on this certain site last the day before, dreamweaver of course tries to load that site upon the next startup.
    The error:  The local root folder, ZZZZZZ, does not exist.  Please choose a new local root folder
    I have typed the path myself and browsed to it many times.  When I go into the Site manager/edit site to correct this, it already has the correct path listed there.  If I just leave what is there and hit save, it doesn't work.  Once re entering is done it allows me to work on the site again. Connecting to remote/upload files and everything works fine.  I can close DW and reopen and all will be fine, for a while.    If I close it and maybe two hours later come back to work on it, DW will report that same error again on startup.
    Other editors of the site with same cloud version of DW and same site settings are not having this error. We've combed for differences.
    I've deleted the site definition altogether and recreated it.  It does not stop the error.
    I found some old references to this issue in the old macromedia forums dealing with Mac and spaces or odd characters being an issue in the local folder path. I'm on windows, but the complaints sounded so similar I decided to try a test suggested there.  Their suggestion was to create a new blank html file, without saving, add some text, select the text, use the link icon in the properties manager to drag a link out to any file in the files panel.  Upon doing so, DW creates a full local path that you can see in your html since you haven't saved the file yet.  The suggestors of this test said you should see if your "mac" and DW was having trouble with spaces or odd characters in the path.   Well the following path shows a PIPE character being created in the path by DW on my test page. 
    file:///W|/private/09 Websites/zzzzzz/index.html
    Could this be showing there is some kind of issue that I need to correct?  Or is this typical?  See the pipe character being listed after the network drive letter of W
    Our local root folder path:
    W:\private\09 Websites\zzzzzz\
    Server Settings:
         Root Directory:
    public_html/zzzzzz.com/
         Web URL:
    HypertextTransferProtocolCOLON//worldwideweb.zzzzzz.commercial/
    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Is this how your remote setting is defined? If it is, do you have a folder called zzzzz.com on your remote server trailing public_html? Ideally public_html is your website root - index.html resides within that, unless your configuration states otherwise.
    To come to your actual question of the local root folder, yes, your file manager wont show files if the connection fails. However, accessing it depends on the permissions you have on your network drive. Have you checked that?
    I'm not sure why our guy has another folder underneath public_html. My guess is he has some company related hosted test folders for various things under there.  I can see a couple other folders under public_html while checking with filezilla. I suppose he just directed our domain to our web folder under public_html. 
    Again, two others here are using these exact same settings with no root folder errors from DW. We've checked many times and all is the same for them.
      Here are some screen grabs of the settings if this makes it more clear.
    This last one showing the remote connection address under the files/assets panel is the one that looks strange to me.  It shows a home folder / then a folder with our site name / then public_html / then our sitename.com .    Seems convoluted to me.  But it works for everyone else so I'm not sure if this error I'm getting has anything to do with these settings or if there is just some old DW settings file hung up in my system that I need to find and delete or what.
    Thanks for any ideas.

  • How to manage the memory in i pad

    how to manage the memory in i pad

    Use iTunes on your computer to store items that you want to save but are not needed on the iPad. Learn to sync and also learn how to do file transfers. Delete unneeded items from the iPad.
    When you connect your iPad to iTunes you will see a bar describing how much of your storage space is being used on your iPad. I always suggest leaving plenty of space open for the iOS and apps to operate.

    You can't download an iCloud backup, except to restore it to your device should you ever need to.
    iCloud data can be managed within the apps on your iPad.  Any changes to the data within the apps corresponding to the data you are syncing with iCloud will take place in iCloud.  You can also manage some of this data on icloud.com from your computer.
    This article explains ways to manage your iCloud storage space, should you need to reduce you iCloud storage: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.

  • How to manage the ATE_SEARCH_IDX-index in Ask the expert-application?

    I'm currently looking at the Ask the expert(=Tom Kyte) application and I cannot figure out how to manage the Oracle Text-index "ATE_SEARCH_IDX" ON "ATE_SUBMITTED_QUESTIONS" ("ANSWER")
    INDEXTYPE IS "CTXSYS"."CONTEXT".
    In the Readme-file can be read:
    "To customize search functionality, view the Oracle Text Index installation
    script. You can change the interval that the index is synched and change
    the fields that are used in the search."
    I don't see the Oracle Text Index installation-script.
    Can anyone give me the contents of the script or come up with an alternative?
    Thanks,
    Jan Willem

    Thank you, Marco. I found it.
    Still, the reason why I was looking for it was the fact that I asked myself a question, answered it and then tried to Search for it. I couldn't find my own question (and answer).
    The only way I found to make it work was to manually rebuild the index on the answer-column in ATE_SUBMITTED_QUESTIONS. But I'm sure there's another way, because these are not the kind of things you'd like a customer (or myself) to do on a regular basis.
    Can you give me another way to synchronize this index preferably managed from inside the database?

  • Does anyone know how to manage the hotspot connections?

    Does anyone know how to manage the hotspot connections? Is there a way to see who is connected, disconnect a particular user, etc.? All I can see is the blue bar announcing the number of of connections.

    I should have phrased that better. I have multiple devices connected at the same time, sometimes I want to disconnect one only 1 of them. To do this I need to go to the device and disconnect or turn off the device. Is there a way I can disconnect selected devices on the phone? Not so much a matter of knowing who/what is connected, rather having control of these individual connections from the phone. Is this possible?
