IWeb Folder/Filename Interfering with FTP Upload?

First -- thanks to each of you who haunt this Forum and help us all out!!
I am trying to upload my website which is currently on a .mac server AND published to a folder on my HD. I am using Cyberduck. I need to be uploading to the public_html folder but that does not come up once logged in to my server. All I see is Incoming. I have set the path as /. When it does try to upload, I see that the URL changes to include my Folder Name: WebsiteRH-107 and then even includes the file Site9.
Clearly, this is not working or I wouldn't be screeching <g> and now coming to you folks for help.
Ideas???
Thanks again.
~linda

Tom, Thanks for trying to help.
1) I did include the two items. Goes like this, Folder: WebsiteRH107, then files are index.html then a folder beside it Site9. Now, within Site9, there is an index.html and a home folder with files in it.
2) My current URL on .mac is http://web.mac.com/mendinfences
The one I'd like to publish is www.ridinhigh.org
3) I will try adding the additional info on that / path.
Thank you again and .......... don't leave me! ;-0

Problems With FTP Upload in Leopard 10.5.3-4

Hi, I experience a strange problem with ftp upload speed in 10.5.3-4. When I start upload a file to my trusted ftp server the upload speed starts to decrease from 300 kb/sec to 35 -40 kb/sec. It remains normal for 1-2 minutes (about 300 kb/sec) and then smoothly decreases to 35 -40 kb/sec. Pressing Stop and then Resume in Cyberduck makes speed normal for 1-2 minutes and then it starts to decrease again. It does not depend on ftp-client, it does not matter if I use either Cyberduck, Transmit or Fetch. It happens if I use either ethernet or airport connection. I have my old Powerbook with 10.4.11, it's connected to the same router with the same settings and the same time upload speed remains stable about 300 kb/sec.
But when I transfer files from my Macbook to my old Powerbook via ftp everything is fine. And when I transfer files to ftp server of my local ISP it's also fine.
Please, help me, I have to upload big 100 Mb files very often and it's significant difference for me 30 or 300 kb/sec
Boris

I'm afraid it's not just the Duck or FTP, Boris....It's many many Apps...and protocols... 10.5 appears to have ;broken',a number of file transfer protocols and Apps... (Wired and KDX are two that come to mind- precisely the same symptoms, AND some others) Apple's own 'built-in' FTP appears OK Mac-Mac, oddly enough.
There's obviously some kind of weird Copy-Paste problem too.
It's obviously 'fixable' or a workaround is available because several s/w mobs have released 'fixes for 10.5 file transfer Bug'
The rest of us will just have to wait while another unannounced,unacknowledged, gaping hole in the Mac OS is quietly fixed and our expensive s/w sits unusable...
Not really good enough, is it ?
Like: Not being able to automatically detect a part file transfer on FTP and Auto-resume from whence you left off: something we thought was pretty cool- back in about 1984.... and absolutely essential in 86 or so.
Boris:You will almost certainly find that it happens whatever the client-server server setup and applications or Medium... I've seen precisely what you describe happen with Airport, Cable, 10/100/1000' local' LAN...
- and watching your throughput drop from 300K to 300 BYTES/Sec is NO FUN.
I've spent a lot of time and money convincing potential 'Switchers' of the superiority of the Mac way over the last 20 years or so...
I'm getting pretty tired at defending the indefensible: 'SkoolBoy Misstakes' in a 24 year old 'superior Computer.- Not Good enough, Apple.

Big troubles with FTP upload since upgrade to leopard

Hello out there,
I made an upgrade from tiger to leopard 3 weeks ago (10.5.7) on my iMac (Intel - early 2006). Since this time I Have big troubles with ftp upload.
I'm using Cyberduck as FTP client and it worked very well before but since the upgrade it starts quick and falls down to a view kb after a view seconds. Sometimes it stops completely.
Target Server is checked and working well. Also the ISP is fine (tested with a windows machine).
As it is important for my business (photographer) I would appreciate if somebody can give me a quick hint how to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance

I am also experiencing this problem, but only (so far) with one hosting company of the many I FTP into (web designer). The symptoms are exactly as reported above. Files initially start uploading fine, then slow to a crawl and stall. This is the same regardless of FTP software. Error reports say the server is not responding.
This problem is the same using my daughter's computer (also running 10.5.7), but my son (being my son) hasn't updated his OS since 10.5.5 and I encounter NO problems whatsoever FTPing from his machine, nor from a PC.
It's only the uploads that seem to cause a problem. Communicating with the server to download, rename, move or delete files presents no issues.
(In trying to track down where the problem was, I also discovered that the traceroute command to any site on both 10.5.5 and 10.5.7 stalls at the modem, though pings work fine as does tracert from the PC.)

Help with ftp upload problem

Hi I am using a ftp class (known as FTPConnection) that i found on this site: http://www.nsftools.com/tips/JavaFtp.htm , and they only have an example of how to download a File through FTP and not upload one. I am in the proccess of making an FTP upload applet, and need some help on getting upload to work. I also need it to work on both a Pc and mac, so that may be attributing to the problem becuase i am currently on a mac which uses file:// instead of C:\\. Ill post the ftp class, and a snippet of my code that tries to upload a selected file.

/*  <pre> */
* File: FTPConnection.java

* see also <a href="http://www.nsftools.com/tips/JavaFtp.htm">http://www.nsftools.com/tips/JavaFtp.htm</a>
* $Id$
* Parts of this code were adopted from a variety of other FTP classes the
* author has encountered that he was not completely satisfied with. If you
* think more thanks are due to any particular author than is given, please
* let him know. With that caveat, this class can be freely distributed and
* modified as long as Bret Taylor is given credit in the source code comments.
* Modified by Julian Robichaux -- http://www.nsftools.com
* Added constructors, logout(), listFiles(), listSubdirectories(), getAndParseDirList(),
* processFileListCommand(), and overloaded getFullServerReply().
* Also added StringBuffer parameter options to transferData() and executeDataCommand()
* and did a few other little things.
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
* A wrapper for the network and command protocols needed for the most common
* FTP commands. Standard usage looks something like this:
* <pre> FTPConnection connection = new FTPConnection();
* try {
* if (connection.connect(host)) {
* if (connection.login(username, password)) {
* connection.downloadFile(serverFileName);
* connection.uploadFile(localFileName);
* connection.disconnect();
* } catch (UnknownHostException e) {
* // handle unknown host
* } catch (IOException e) {
* // handle I/O exception
* }</pre>
* Most FTP commands are wrapped by easy-to-use methods, but in case clients
* need more flexibility, you can execute commands directly using the methods
* <a href="#executeCommand(java.lang.String)">executeCommand</a> and
* <a href="#executeDataCommand(java.lang.String,
* java.io.OutputStream)">executeDataCommand</a>,
* the latter of which is used for commands that require an open data port.

ok i tried explaining th eproblem in the previous post, but i apologize if my explanation was poor. anyways, i tried to look into it further by doing a printStackTrace() and believe it may be a read error. here is my new updated snippet, and also a link to a screenshot ([click here for screenshot|http://img143.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture4qr0.png]) of what the error looks like on my end. it seems like a socket is not being read, or maybe it is initialized properly. Again I apologize if my problem is vague, but I do appreciate your input. thanks.

I am running OS 10.7.5 on a Macbook. Problems with ftp upload

I am running OS 10.7.5 on a Macbook. I am trying to upload to an ftp server. The connection is established with no problem but any attempt to upload files times out. This is an intermittent problem. I have been using fetch as an ftp client quuite successfully for a long time. The problem starts when there is trouble with the broadband connection. The ftp upload then falls over. I have managed to re-establish it in the past by setting up the connections from scratch. This has not worked this time. The same thing happens with two other clients that I have, so it is not specifically related to fetch. I can uplad files from PC's and by using my iphone's 3g connection as a personal hotspot. The problem seems to lie with the way the macs (the same thing happens on an older mac also running OSX) communicate with the router. I have tried with and without passive mode.
Please can anyone help. It is driving me to distraction.
Oh and I have just downloaded the latest security update.

For anyone else with the same problem.
My husband discovered the problem is with the MTU, maximum transmission unit . This article describes the problem and solution very clearly
http://www.macgurulounge.com/manually-managing-mtu-size-in-mac-os-x/
Our router was running at 1492 and the mac at 1500. I found that resetting to 1400 cured the problem.
I hope this is helpful to other folk having the same problem

IWeb can't communicate with FTP Server.

I am trying to update my IWeb and I get a Publish Error that says "There wa an error communicating with the FTP server.   Try again later, or check with your service provider.
I've tried again and I've checked my service provider who says everything is working on their end.
I have an IMac with Maverick.

Update:   the issue is not a connection with FTP server.......it has to be something in IWeb.
I have a website that I add photos to.    I Have always added them from Aperture on the right hand side of IWeb.   Now, when I add the photo to my page, it moves the other photos around as it has always done.    I try publishing and I get the error message.    When go go to the actual website I can see a blank space where the photo should have been published.
So it's sort of updating - but instead of the picture it shows a blank.

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.

Problems with FTP Upload

Hi,
I am fairly new to Dreamweaver and we recently decided to
bring control of our website in house (we are a NPO).
I managed to download our organizations existing website
using the FTP connection in Dreamweaver. Everything went great -
and I started editing one of our pages. As a test I made a small
change and then uploaded the new page (again through FTP) to the
hosting site. It worked fine. Here's where the problems begin - I
decided to continue editing the page (in the local view not the
remote view) and when I was finished tried to upload it exactly the
same way i had done before. Suddenly it was telling me I was no
longer connected. For 2 hours i retried and tried and tried to get
the connection to re-establish - including shutting down
dreamweaver, rebooting my computer etc etc. Nothing worked. My
collegue who is also working on this project with me experienced
the EXACT same problem when she tried on her computer... first
upload is successful but any additional ones don't work. What's
more when you then went to view the actual page in IE (or Firefox)
the page was distorted - only some of the page appeared. The first
time we were missing the flash bar, the second time none of the
pictures showed up etc. In addition i used Link Checker and 66 out
of 80 links were broken (they had not been broken the first time
the page successfully uploaded).
I am very baffled by this whole situation. Does anyone have
any advice?? Do you think this is a Dreamweaver problem or perhaps
something entirely different? In the end I had to go directly to
our hosting site and re-upload an the old page from a burned CD.
Thanks!

What happens if you use different FTP software?
I've never used the file transfer part of DW, since the IT
staff where I work only allows ONE specific program to have access
to the server, and they set the access parameters so the program
only allows each user upload or download access to their particular
program area
Depending on your server's security settings, you might try
other software to see if it works... yes, it is a bit of a PITA to
have to jump from DW to a different program... but, whatever
works

Control filename structure with FTP internal channel

Hi,
Can I change the output filename sttructure when I use a FTP internal channel?
Today I get the filename BAS_1190045705541.dat which I guess is structured as
filename := <FromTP><underscore><Epoc Timestamp><".dat">
I would like to have
filename := <FromTP><underscore><Epoc Timestamp><messagereferencenumber><".dat">
Thanks!

Hello Orjan,
Right now in 10.1.2.0.2 the outbound file name is pretty much fixed as tpname_uniqueID, however there is plans to enhance it in the subsequent release based on the user defined pattern.

I can't find where iweb saves files. i have no iweb folder in my library applications. any ideas?

i can't find where iweb saves files. i have no iweb folder in my library applications. any ideas?

Yes you do - it is found under your User Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
It is the domain.sites folder that you want and the iWeb folder is NOT in your System Library, but rather your User Library - that's the one with the house.
Depending on what OS you are using - from Lion upwards, your User Library is invisible, so to make it visible, go to the Go menu and hold down the 'alt' key at the same time and your Library will show - then go to Application Support and the iWeb folder is there with your domain.sites file in it. Double click on this file to open it and iWeb will.

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

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 ...

Is there any way to upload iWeb files updates only with a 3rd party ftp program to a new hoster, e.g. Godaddy? I see no posts newer than 2007

Is there any way to upload iWeb files updates only with a 3rd party ftp program to a new hoster, e.g. Godaddy? I see no posts newer than 2007.

If you are using iWeb V 3, there are two other options for publishing the site...

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?

IWeb publishes updates but does not upload in the FTP

HELP!
I have a 'tried-tested-true' website that's been on the internet for 10 years. It's been updated over the years but needed much more as of today.
The updates perfectly publish within iWeb [3.0.4]. The FTP uploads the site, but when I check it on the internet [Safari 6.2.3], the former version appears.
I proceeded to troubleshoot by renaming the website and re-mounting the pages. Also, renaming the pages, but after several attempts of uploading each newer version, all efforts were to no avail. It has taken me a full day without results. That is, the original website remains on the internet, which is very outdated.
I have run out of troubleshooting ideas. All of my other websites have not had this problem. There was an issue this week with the ISP Domain Host services not connecting my site. I contacted them, but have had no response. However, I thought I would try connecting again today in case they sorted out their connectivity issues. I am able to connect to their server. I have good reason to believe the FTP is uploading the updated directory files, but for some reason when it comes to viewing the site on the internet, au contraire.
Not sure if this is an iWeb problem or my ISP domain hosting services having issues with connectivity. Whatever, it is very perplexing to me as to what to do next after the extensive amount of time I have taken troubleshooting.
I repeat myself when I say, 'HELP!'

Okay, I understand what you are referencing. I am publishing my websites to the path of 'Users'-Documents-Website Documents.
Below is a screen shot of the folder my Websites are located. Is this what you are referencing? It is Site 2 that is having issues with uploading to the domain host server of my ISP. All the other sites have been uploaded successively.
I use FileZilla as my FTP server and it has been excellent. I have tried CyberDuck, et al. FZ works perfectly well indicating all that one needs to know while uploading. If my other websites were causing the same issues, then it would mean FTP issues.
However, I believe I am on the same track you are referencing with regards to my published website is in the appropriate location on my HD. I stand to be corrected.
I believe by my contacting the Forum and reading your information that I am following protocol as I have always done with my 4 websites that upload properly. As I continue the discussion, it is becoming evident the issue is with the Domain Host server, which is not a problem to post on this Forum.
However, I posted my issue just in case it was an iWeb issue or my not following protocol correctly to publish a website. From what I am gleaning with your information, I am following protocol. Repeating myself when I say it appears to be the aforementioned server. I have contacted them again about their Domain Host server but no response as yet.
If what I am presenting to you is the correct protocol I have in place at my end, I thank you for taking the time to assist me. By doing so, I believe I will be able to determine it is not an iWeb publishing issue [mostly because all my websites are not experiencing this problem], nor is it the FTP server,FileZilla, but the Domain Host Server.
As mentioned above, here is the folder where my websites are located.
I so appreciate your assistance.
