IWeb, Finder and FTP Uploads...

Hey folks...
I was wondering if anyone was aware of an app that integrates FTP uploading capabilities straight into Finder - as opposed to use a third party FTP application to upload files.
I would like to use iWeb to publish websites to my website's FTP account - via FTP, by using Finder (But, obviously Finder is only read-only FTP access).
Does an application like this exist?

I don't know if this solves your problem, but I connect to an FTP server through Safari and it mounts on my dekstop - thus Finder. If I type the line below in Safari (substituting my information where it says "username, password, and FTP host), then the FTP volume will mount on my desktop (after a few seconds), and appear in the Finder. Depending upon on your privileges you should be able to drag files in and out of the window (or the volume in the finder).
The line looks like this (type in the URL of Safari):
ftp://username:password@hostname
Again, not sure if this is what you want.

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

Help with iWeb 09 and ftp publishing please?

I'm using iWeb09 and when I publish my website via ftp, the address it publishes to is my web address, followed by / and the name I gave the website on iWeb. So its not showing on my actual website. When I go to visit the website via the successfully published screen, the message I get is the requested url is not found on this server. Any help please?

Make sure you entered the correct URL in the Publishing Settings page and that you have left the Directory/Path field blank as shown on the first example on this page...

Ifs and FTP upload

We are using ftp to upload files to ifs via perl cgi. Our issue
is that jpg's generate a lot of 30002 errors - Unable to creat.
It seems I can upload text with no problem. It also seems jpg's
are a hit or miss issue. Some have gone fine and then the same
one will not. My text docs can be overwritten without incedint
but it appears jpg's may or maynot. We have iMT off.
Thanks

You could try this:
Write an agent that wakes when a document is added to a folder. Get the definition of the library object, Based on the folder, set the correct ClassObject of the definition, update the library object with the new definition.

Free web hosting, no advertising in my URL, and FTP Upload. Too much to ask?

and webappcabaret.com (may be of a time limit, and you have ads thrown in with your pages).

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

My iWeb image names are incompatible with FTP servers and must be renamed but I can't find the images in iWeb. I can upload to a desktop file and change them there but then I would need to download them to a new site in iWeb to publish them.

my iWeb image names are incompatible with FTP servers and must be renamed but I can't find the images in iWeb. I can upload to a desktop file and change them there but then I would need to download them to a new site in iWeb to publish them.
What's the answer?
Thanks

Many thanks to responded to my question and sorry not to get back sooner.
Yes, I discovered by this unfortunate experience that the names of photos are a serious issue if the site is to ever go to an FTP server. Apple should discuss this carefully in their "manual".
One more question: I uploaded the website to a folder on my desktop. When I open it, unlike the photos in iWeb, there are folders for each page which have all the photos in them. I went through each folder and changed the names to be FTP compatible. I'm using iWeb SEO Tool which allows one to upload from this local folder to an FTP server but having trouble.
Is this because there is an imbedment in iWeb that uses the old photo names to link to the actual photos and it can't find them because of the name changes?
Thanks again for your help ...

Formatting errors in Browser Preview and crashing during FTP Upload

Hey Y'all!
I have two errors that I cannot seem to fix.
1. The Browser Preview of my site does not match the design in the Design section. There is added blank space between elements when previewing in the browser. There are no elements of this page that are Footer Items and I've tried resetting the spacing in various ways to align everything as it is seen.
2. I thought that maybe the Browser Preview was the problem, and that my site would be fine once I uploaded it. Unfortunately, Muse stops responding on the same element during multiple upload attempts to my FTP Host (GoDaddy). I've tried reorganizing pages in my Plan environment, deleting all files on GoDaddy and uploading the entire file, uploading only modified files after a crash, and deleting/replacing/and relinking the asset in question. I've deleted two other assets that froze the upload earlier, thinking that they were the problem (scroll effects on Edge Animate files), but now it is freezing on a simple .png file.
I've had this screen for 15 minutes, now, with a spinning pinwheel. It is my 5th failed attempt in the past week to upload my site.
Any information about potential fixes would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping that I'm overlooking something simple.
All the best,
Paul

I'm sorry I can't help but I have a question...how did you find an ftp server? I'm new to iweb and could you use your help.

Iweb not showing online for FTP upload

I use Iweb all the time building sites for small business.
Recently it has started to comeback with a "internet not online message" when I want to upload files to a FTP server. FYI the same server I have loaded over 40 sites to. I then have to publish to a folder and upload through Rage SEO Tool. Which yes works fine but I am concerned there is a creeping corruption in the software. I do not want to reload the software as I do not have to rebuild all my site again. I use 3.04. and use 10.6.8 OSX.
I have Dreamweaver, Worpress, Sandvox, Coffe Cup software. Iweb is the simplest and the best for what work I do. It has some of the features of the old Adobe Golive. All the others are cumbersome. I have some site in Iweb with over 80 pages.
Finally why is Apple going to make me end up buying another company's software to do similar work like Adobe Muse???
Cheers, Dean

I do not want to reload the software as I do not have to rebuild all my site again. I use 3.04. and use 10.6.8 OSX.
His profile is out of date. I think he should reset his ftp info in iWeb and try again.

Hi - I think I might be having similar issues. I have been using iWeb for over a year and uploading via FTP to Bravenet. Recently, I have been getting error messages (depending on the FTP client, as I have tried three of them, before realising it wasn't the FTP app) such as 'connection lost' and 'error in transmission' etc. Through opening a ticket with the Bravenet helpdesk we have worked out that the files that won't upload are files with symbols in the names ( i.e. ' or - ). He suggested that I remove the symbols, which of course I can't do, as the underlying code (I'm assuming) would need to be changed to reflect the changes in the filenames.
I am assuming that the filenames from iWeb have always been the same, which leads me to presume that there is a problem with Bravenet or that they have changed their rules. However I was curious to hear if anybody else has had the same problem, and if there is a fix? Many thanks.

Slow FTP uploads and actions anyone?

Does anyone else find the FTP/file manager slow in
Dreamweaver CS3? I find it sluggish to upload and refresh with my
web server. I have tried it with a few sites, and compared the
times to for example, delete, upload, and refresh with filezilla -
the free ftp program by the Mozilla group. Are there any ways to
fix the slow operation? If possible or if you have had the same
experience please let me know. Thanks!

Curious - I've never had these problems with DW since DW2.

Iweb with Lion: Umlaute after ftp-upload on linux-Server are not correct - but worked with Leopard!

Hi from Germany. I used iweb 3.04 and OS X 10.6+ and everything worked fine on different websites, including German Umlaute ä, ö, ü, ß.
After upgrading to Lion all Umlaute are not correct spelled (strange letters) after ftp-upload on a linux-server (which is the same as before). Before upload these Umlaute are spelled correctly, but not after upload.
Trials were a) upload htaccess file b) use older iWeb 3.03 c) asking server administrator (answer: "use ae, oe, ue instead"), but nothing worked.
Any ideas or help?
Thank you very much, and excuse my english
Peter

The problem lies in the uploading of the files or the server itself. If the umlautes looked good on the server before then we have to think it's the uploading process. Try using the free FTP client Cyberduck to upload your site folder to your server. Then check to see if the rendering is correct.
What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?
