Iweb ftp problem - adding a folder where I don't want one

Hi,
I'd like to use iweb to upload directly to a web site.
I have put in the same ftp details as work in dreamweaver but it creates a file that appears to be the site name. I've named the site the same as my URL, so the 'welcome' page becomes something like:
www.  myurl.  co.  uk  /myurl/  welcome.html
(ive added the spaces to the example to stop it becoming a hyperlink, but you get the idea)
Am I doing something daft? Is there any way to not add this extra folder? My URL is already quite long.
At present I'm creating the site in Iweb, piublishing to a folder on my mac, opening dreamweaver and loading from there. I'm sure it should be easier that that!
Cheers.

It is perfectly normal for iWeb to do this and no, you are doing nothing wrong.
Re-name your site and don't use your url for the name of your site - change it to something shorter.
If you want to upload your site without the site folder, then download Cyberduck and upload ONLY the contents of your site folder and not the whole folder itself.
You can do this using Cyberduck or continue to use Dreamweaver.  There is no other way to avoid this really except using either of these two to upload.  That's it.  You can't do this using iWeb ftp.

  • Can any one tell me how can I move to a different folder pictures, that I've cloned, without them staying aggregated? They all come together to the other folder and I don't want that- thanks

    There's more to it than that.
    Folders in Aperture do not hold Images.  They hold Projects and Albums.  You cannot put an Image in a Folder without putting it in a Project or an Album inside that Folder.
    The relationship between Projects and Images is special:  every Image must in a Project, and can be in only one Project.
    Images can be in as many Albums you want.  Putting an Image in an Album does not move it from the Project that holds it.
    You can make as many Versions from a Master as you want.
    What you want to do may appear simple to you, but it still much adhere to how Aperture works.  I still can't tell exactly what you are trying to do (specifically: Images don't live in Folders; moving an Image from a Folder is non-sensical).
    It can be very confusing (and frustrating) to get going with Aperture -- but it does work, and can be enormously helpful.  If you haven't, take a look at the video tutorials on Apple's Aperture support site.
    I feel as though I haven't helped you much -- but we need to be using the same names for interface items in order to get anything done -- and my sense is that you still haven't learned the names of the parts.

  • Why does Mail keep creating a Junk folder that I don't want

    I don't want Mail to filter for Junk because it always gets it wrong. I have another, better filter. I have unchecked the box. Nevertheless, Mail persists in creating a Junk folder and occasionally putting messages into it. Many of these messages are perfectly good and go unnoticed for a few days before I notice them in the new Junk folder. I keep deleting the folder, but eventually it comes back again.
    Why is it doing this, and how can I stop it??

    Thanks for your interest, but unchecking 'Enable junk mail filtering' hides the junk folder, and it will not be regenerated unless Apple Mail unilaterally decides it wants to put something in it. This problem only started for me last year, and for years before that, I did not have a Junk folder. My own spam filter (Spamsieve) works perfectly well.
    As I have unchecked 'Enable junk mail filtering', the two options you mention do not exist: they are greyed out.

  • Problem adding events to calendar - they don't show up

    I have an intermittent and very strange problem which occurs when adding an event to the calendar on my iPhone 4 (Verizon - running latest iOS).
    I will create an event, fill out time, date, name, etc and click done, and then the event will not show up in the calendar. Sometimes I can go through this process five or six times in a row before the event finally appears. None of the other attempts ever show up later, and they're not findable via search, so I know this isn't either me doing something dumb (like entering the wrong date) or a delay of some kind.
    I am using MobileMe and the calendar in question is always a MobileMe calendar, simply because those are the only ones I use. I have not tested this with the iPhone local calendar.
    Recently, I experienced the same issue when deleting an event. It took a few tries before the deletion did anything.
    This occurs probably 80% of the time I create an event, and has always occurred. It NEVER happens when I create an event via a hyperlinked date/time shortcut suggestion in an email or the like.
    Has anyone experienced this?

    If you only have one account, it, inherently will be the default.
    On the iPhone, Settings >Mail, Contacts, Calendar
    Scroll down. In each section there should be a 'Default Account'. So one form Mail, Contacts and Calendar. Check that the one account you have / use is set to the default.

  • HT1926 My itunes won't open because it says "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem" Can someone help? I don't want to delete it altogether due to needing the phone backup

    I was given notification to upload the latest version of itunes recently, so I clicked installed. However it has since corrupted my itunes and I get the error message:
    "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem".
    In poor timing, I have also accidently damaged my phone and have a new one to restore it to an old back up.
    It is because of this I am reluctant to completely delete itunes off my computer and start again for fear of losing my back ups.
    Is there another way to fix iTunes so I can open it again?
    Thanks

  • ITunes Match just added old purchased songs, I don't want those songs anymore. I just want my music to be iTunes quality.

    I purchased iTunes Match, and all I noticed that it did was pull songs I purchased from iTunes many years ago. Songs that I don't want anymore. I just want songs that weren't purchased from iTunes to get uploaded and converted to better quality. Did iTunes do this for me, and I just didn't see it? Or did I purchase something, and didn't get the expected results? How can I get iTunes to upload and convert my lower quality music?
    iTunes 10.5.3.3 on a PC.

    That's odd for sure.
    Anyway, first set the iPod to manage the songs manually.
    Then, select the iPod in the source list of iTunes, and click on the "music" option underneath it to show all your songs. Highlight the song(s) you no longer want on the iPod, right click and select "clear". The songs should be deleted from the iPod.
    Now you can change the iPod back to your auto sync preference.

  • Animation where I don't want it.

    Certain pages in my ID document are simply nuts when it comes to animation. I am indeed animating most every page of my document. But, when I arrive on certain pages, they're already animating when I preview them, even though I haven't told them to animate. And, they're animating in a slow, painful way, taking minutes to finally display the full page. How can I get rid of this? I didn't do anything to these pages to warrant this behavior. If I do tell them to animate in a way that I want them to, they don't behave; they don't follow what I ask them to do.
    Thanks,
    Peter

    I have no animations on my master page. Can you explain what you mean by "autoplay" for these animations? I haven't seen that attribute.
    Thanks,

  • Adding podcast from another computer; don't want to sync entire library

    I have my home computer with my entire music library. There is a podcast that I listen to every day that I download as an MP3 file. However, when I'm out of town on travel or just maybe at work in the office, I want to download the files and add them to my ipod rather than wait until I'm at home.
    I'm afraid to plug the ipod in to a new computer b/c I'm concerned it will sync and wipe out the entire collection. My thinking is that the ipod could be put into "disk mode" so I could just copy over these few files after I download them.
    Is this accurate? Any other advice?

    Bumping this up. Could anyone confirm if the ipod will start to sync if I try to add these podcasts from a laptop that does not contain my entire library.

  • UNUSUAL iTunes 7 Error while Adding Music Folder

    It's seems fairly simple, I am suprised thousands of others have not had this same problem. After I installed iTunes 7 I was adding a music folder (containing 4000+ songs) that is on an external HD...so,
    1) iTunes notes that I have .wma files in the folder
    2) I click either skip or convert, it doesn't matter
    3) iTunes promptly has an error and closes.
    However, if I use Windows search and exclusively find *.mp3 files, I can add thousands of them at a time without a problem. I would just let it be except I want my .wma's converted and there are multiple video files also in this folder that I don't want to have to find individually.
    This error has occurred again and again regardless of restarting the program or the system.
    Please Help!!!

    Hi
    Due to some kind of copy protection in iTunes - I don't copy directly from this in iMovie
    to my projects. (Most often the result of doing it in iMovie is a DVD without any sound)
    I do
    • In iTunes - collect needed audio into a new Playlist
    • then burn this out as an Audio-CD .aiff (NOT .mp3)
    • This CD I copy into a folder on my Mac (often containing other material that's connected to the project)
    • And then I drag and drop these .aiff files into my movie project in iMovie.
    This works Greatly and even more so when I do my DVD.
    Yours Bengt W

  • How do I get iWeb to open another iWeb backup file? (I accidentally saved the file iWeb is pointing to, and don't want it.  I want to use a prior back-up iWeb version.)

    How do I get iWeb to open another iWeb backup file? (Made a mistake and don't want current file iWeb is pointing to)

    Thanks Roddy.
    FYI- I downloaded the "Domain.sites2" file from your page (because I deleted mine yeterday)  So now the file is sitting on my desktop in my "Download" window.
    I see the good back-up file I want to use on my desktop, but when I go to drag the file from my desktop and drop it in "Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb", it does not take.  I am not allowed to drop files on that iWeb page directly.  (I tried to drop the the "Domain.sites2" file from the Download window, but that also does not allow me to drag and drop it directly to the iWeb folder.)

  • Don't want to store temporary files in downloads folder firefox

    When opening an attachment from a website, such as a pdf, a windows pops up letting you choose to open with "Preview Document" or "save to...." If I choose "preview document," the pdf will automatically saved to my Downloads folder, which I don't want. In Winxp, temporary files are store in a temporary folder, and will be replaced by new temporary files. How do I do that in mac? I want to temporary "preview" the pdf and don't want it to save a copy to the download folder, because I use the folder for the downloads I want to keep. I use firefox btw. Thanks.

    Hi there,
    How did you do this? As it is not possible to see the private folder through the preferences window when setting the downloads folder. I even used TinkerTool to make all hidden files & folders visible...
    Thanks!

  • FTP publishes to nested folder, problems ensue

    Hi,
    I'm trying to publish my iWeb site to a domain hosted on my university's server, and have made a successful test connection to that server, but when I publish the site to that server, it ends up in a nested folder, which my school's server doesn't allow read access to for the general public. I need for iWeb to publish its pages directly into the directory I provided for the FTP path. Does anybody know how to do this?

    One of the problems with the iWeb FTP is that it uploads the whole folder created by iWeb and this creates a sub directory which, in your case, you don't want.
    Publish your site to a local folder and upload the contents of the folder and not the folder itself.
    If you need an FTP app get the freeware Cyberduck here.....
