Hyperlink to a file causes FTP error?

If I insert a hyperlink to a file that is located on my local hard drive, the site will not publish. iWeb says 'error communicating with the FTP server', and contact your service provider, etc. 
If I remove the link, everything publishes fine.  I am assuming the file can be anywhere, and iWeb will create a copy and move it (FTP) to the web server. Or do I need to manually put the file on the FTP site myself?  If so, how do I refer to it in the iWeb designer?

If you are using the iWeb FTP to upload your site files they will be inside a folder as described here...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/URLs-Favicons.html
The PDF you upload needs to be outside of this folder or iWeb will overwrite it when you next publish changes. Create a folder and name it something like PDF-Downloads. Put the .pdf file inside and upload it to the root folder using an FTP app. The link will be...
http://www.domain-name.com/PDF-Downloads/file-name.pdf
If you want the file to download when the link is clicked, create a Windows compatible zip file as described on this page...

  • Receiver File Adapter: FTPS Error

    On sending a text file to a trading partner the log in the communication channel shows the following:
    Connecting to FTP server - success
    Write to FTP server - success
    Transfer: "TXT" mode - success
    Exception caught by adapter framework:connection timed out - Error
    The FTP connection Parameters have:
    Data connection = Passive
    Connection security = FTPS (FTP using SSL/TLS)
    Command order AUTH TLS, USER, PASS, PBSZ, PROT
    Use of X509 cert for Client Authentication is checked
    Keystore = service_ssl
    x.509 Cert and private key = *******.crt
    When I look in the NWA logs for default trace I see several messages with the text "Rolling back transaction for message..." plus a FILE_ERR_211
    What is a FILE_ERR_211?
    Thanks
    Mark

    hi mark,
    To configure a timeout for the FTP connection, please enable the "Advanced Mode" for the respective FTP communication channel in the Integration Directory and add an entry "ftp.timeout"=timeoutSecs
    (without any quotation marks) to the "Additional Parameters" section, where timeoutSecs is the desired FTP timeout in seconds.

  • File Adapter - FTP Error

    Hi,
    I have a Sender File Adapter using FTP which polls a server every 60 seconds looking for a file. Intermittently the adapter will connect and pick up the waiting file. However, more often than not it gives an error:
    An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server 'xx.xx.xx.xxx:21'. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 426 Unexpected reply codeConnection closed; transfer aborted.'. For details, contact your FTP server vendor.
    The connect mode is Permanently and the transfer mode is Binary.
    Any ideas ?
    PaulC.

    Monica,
    Can you explain the difference between ACTIVE and PASSIVE and why changing to ACTIVE may get rid of this issue ? Have looked at the help.sap.com and it doesn't give too much detail on these settings.
    Thanks
    PaulC.

  • SENDER FILE ADAPTER (FTP) ERROR

    Hi,
    Iam getting the following error in sender file adapter:
    Could not process due to error: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 *** ERROR *** NO BATCHES FOR TRANSMISSION
    Could anyone help me in this.
    Thanks &Regards,
    Kiran

    Hi Kiran,
    This problem is not related to PI but rather related to FTP server settings.
    Try changing the name of the file in your adapter settings to a string without any dots and ".
    Try this and let me know if its successful.

    this seems to be something to do with your firewall... you can have your network team involved so that the can work a solution.

  • Deleted swc files causing an error

    Hi,
    I have built an AIR app using FB3 and have been playing
    around with styling it up. At first I was using flash cs4 to build
    skins and import them as swc files which worked fine but then I
    realised that I could get away with just using style sheets and so
    I deleted the swc files and all references to them that I could
    see. Now when I try to run the project I get an error saying that
    flex was unable to open the swc.
    I can't find where the error originates from or why it should
    still be looking for the file at all. I have tried cleaning the
    project and restarting FB but I cant clear this error.
    Anyone have any advice on this one?
    Cheers all

  • XTRA - Audible file causes "Playback Error" or wo

    I am using the player in Car Mode so it shuts down automatically when I turn off the car. Last week I had played through about 4 hours into the 8 hour Audible file. I got in my car yesterday and it wouldn't play the file. It showed the time as --:--:-- and the HD stopped spinning.
    I tried going forward and backward and neither worked.
    I tried switching to another track, but it would not stop attempting to play the Audible file.
    Using the recovery menu, I selected "Clean Up". This allowed me to play other files, including other Audible files, but it would still hang when attempting to play that specific file.
    Today, I removed that file from my Zen and re-transferred it using the Audible Manager.
    Now when I attempt to play that file it plays the "This is Audible" part, about 2 seconds, and then shows the "Playback Error" message.
    I tried skipping forward using the Go To Section function and it hard crashed.
    Is there something I can do to be able to play this file?
    Is this an indication that something is wrong with my Xtra?
    Thanks,
    Altair

    Does it happen only to that particular file only? If it does, then it's most likely a problem with your file rather than the player.

  • (auto-)syncing is stopped when just one file causes an error message

    I tried auto-sync an manual sync, but whenever there's a file that can't be tranfered to my ipod classic, the whole process is interupted. that's really annoying because I can't monitor the whole process. is there any chance to skip files that won't be transferred to the ipod?

    I am having a similar problem. Dead old drive - trying to sync to the new computer, but don't want to put it on the hard drive, but rather on an external drive. It looks like the files are there, but they don't show up in the library. Any help for that situation? I've been battling this for about 3 months and haven't been able to add anything new to my iPod since then. Help!

  • File adapter causes FTP process stop result 0 byte file.

    Has anyone ever heard that FTP adapter can cause FTP process to stop and end up with 0 byte file transferred?
    We use the normal ftp script to ftp file from external file server place file in XI inbound folder so that file adapter can pick them up from that folder.
    We have encounter a few 0 byte FTPed file in our system. One suspecting is the network between XI server and file server might get some interruption. With out just blaming on the network. We would like to know if there is any possibility that it is also causes by our file adapter? Says, it try to read the file that is not yet complete transferring make FTP give up transferring??
    We would like to know if FTP process is transferring the file over and file adapter try to read, what will happen? Will it read file with incomplete content and ftp still go on? Or will it stop reading and return back error as the file could not be open? Or it will force FTP process to let go the file??
    Best rgds,
    Thida

    Hi,
    ><i>We would like to know if there is any possibility that it is also causes by our file adapter? Says, it try to read the file that is not yet complete transferring make FTP give up transferring??</i>
    have not seen the file adapter causing any such problems. So, it looks like a network issue.
    ><i>We would like to know if FTP process is transferring the file over and file adapter try to read, what will happen? Will it read file with incomplete content and ftp still go on? Or will it stop reading and return back error as the file could not be open? Or it will force FTP process to let go the file??</i>
    Am not exactly sure, but when a file is being created and the file adapter tries to read such a file, the file would be READ and WRITE Locked and so File adapter should not be able to read such a file until the creation of the file is complete.
    Also, take a look at the note :  <b>821267</b> , question 31 for how file adapter processes empty file.

  • Pdf file causing archive utility to throw error

    I have a couple of pdf files which cannot be compressed without an error. Supposing that the nasty file is called foo.pdf.
    . In the Finder, right click on foo.pdf
    . Select Compress "foo.pdf"
    A file called foo.pdf.zip is created but an error pops up An error occurred while compressing a file. Strangely enough, the error window has a titlebar called "Copy".
    When looking in the Console, there is always an error from mdworker listed:

    This same file also always errors out when trying to use -ditto- in a Terminal window. (See this minithread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1724912 )

    Nothing's wrong with it except that it doesn't support encrypted .zip files.  You'll just have to use third-party software, or a Terminal command, to unzip those.
