IWeb FTP question

I need to publish my site into a certain folder of my web site, but I don't see an option on how to do that. It would be much easier to have iWeb publish to the folder rather than going through and saving to a folder, then uploading through an FTP client. Any suggestions? Thanks.

You should be able to set the ftp path in iWeb just like you do in your ftp client so you can publish directly from iWeb to the server.

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.

Subject: FTP question; very basic
John Vitollo had this to say:
Do you have a website and/or do you own your own domain name... such as
http://forums.adobe.com/people/nancy7147.com? You'll need a website hosting
company to serve your website to the world.
Depends on your ISP. I'm a Comcast cable customer; they allow me to have
a personal website. I could use that space to do it.
In my case, I have a Flickr pro account. When it expires, I will
probably move to Zenfolio, as I like their presentation much better. I
can't use LR slideshows with Flickr or Zenfolio, but that's not a
deslbreaker for me.

FTP question for newbie -- How to access external volume?

I have set up an old Mac (running Tiger) as a server on my LAN; attached to this Mac are several Firewire disks. I want to use FTP (with retrospect Express) to automatically back up from another computer to these disks.
I can successfuly mount these Firewire disks using AFP on the other computer. But when I use FTP, I seem only to access the user account I use to log in. How do I get FTP to go those Firewire disks to transfer the backup files?
Please forgive me if this is a naive question... Thanks in advance for any advice!

To configure the FTP server in Tiger requires creating and editing certain files using the terminal application. So if you have no prior UNIX or command line experience you may find this tricky and you would need to read the man file for ftpd.
So I would suggest you try out PureFTP manager which is a front end application for an alternative FTP server.
I have used this Application and found it quite straightforward to use.

How to publish iweb ftp into domain folder thru iweb?

Hey guys, I have just finished making a website thru iweb for my friend, but he need to edit it in his computer.
Normally, I can just transfer a domain file via USB, but I can't find mine. I have downloaded the easy find software, and tried to find domain.sites2 (coz my iweb version is 3.0.4). However it doesn't work. I am not quite sure I have saved it into a domain file ( but I am sure I have saved it, coz every time when I made some changes i will click command+s, so I think my file is definitely somewhere in my computer but probably in other forms. WHO can tell me where did I save it when I click command+s??? ).
Is there an order specifically for publishing it into a domain file? I didn't find an order like that. Is it automatically? Or do I need to do it by myself?
Another weird thing is that my friend made a website thru mobileme, and it seemed like it can publish a domain file automatically, but ftp can't? Or just I did it the wrong way?
Also when he transfer his domain file to my computer (when I was still editing my previous website), I opened it and it somehow covered my website, and I can't find it!!!! The last thing is that except for preview what exactly is publish into local folder for?
I did come across several problems, guys plz help me out!!! Millions of thanks in advance!!

Welcome to the Support Communities. If you don't see your Domain file here:
...try searching for sites2 rather than domain.sites2.
And rather than sending Domain files back & forth, consider switching to a website builder which incorporates collaborative website editing — see this post:

Using iWeb FTP results in nested site...

I'm sure I'm just being a dummy here... but I'm lost.
I'm using iWeb v3.01 to upload a site to a non-.mac host (bluehost.com). The uploads proceed without a hitch, no problem. Let's call it "www.genericsite.com."
But when I go visit the site just uploaded, the browser's URL field immediately duplicates the URL, so that it reads "www.genericsite.com/genericsite.com/index.html."
I then use Fetch (FTP client) to view the files on the site. I go into the public_html folder (where the site is supposed to go), and there I find an index.html file (good) and a FOLDER named "genericsite.com." Inside that folder, I find all the site files, and ANOTHER index.html file too.
The Bluehost people are telling me that this "nested" folder is what's causing my problem. I could work around the problem by uploading from iWeb to a folder, then using Fetch (etc.) to upload the files. But that means I have to re-publish the entire site for every little change. So that ain't a great option.
Is there any way to fix it so that iWeb just uploads files directly to the root of public_html, without putting them into a second folder?
Help, anyone?

Hi Ethmoid
Thanks for you reply & patients. I followed you instructions, when I connect to my server I see several folders, php_uploads, public_html, SP_Barbarians.
I click on public_html, I see my files connected to my website but looks like without content as the files are only 4.0 - 4.0KB.
Then I click on public_htm - upload - it takes me to my desktop where I see my website folder - I select all and upload the contents of the folder. Cyberduck successfully uploads the content which is 436MB, however the website address stays the same, i.e www.spbarbarians/public_html/welcome.html , this is the previous address that came up when I used FTP to upload from iWeb with the site address public_html as you suggested earlier (to try & get rid of the double address www.spbarbarians/spbarbarians/welcome.html)
Then I look back at the folder public_html which is in my cyberduck window connected to my server & I see that all the files are still the same size, i.e 4.0 - 8.0 KB. If Cyberduck has uploaded 436MB of content to this folder shouldn't the folders reflect this size?
This window that I am looking at In Cyberduck is connected to my GoDaddy server and shows the content at that server correct?
Please help as I have followed the instructions but I must be doing something wrong>

File and FTP Question

We have a situation where a bank places an EDI document on their FTP site and then we go and download the file and process it. We are SOA Suite customers and have been using the tools for over a year. My question is would it be recommended to tackle this problem with BPEL or ESB and the ftp adapter? The bank doesn't require any kind of acknowledgement, but I've never dealt with EDI docs before and thought B2B might do a better and more seemless job of processing the EDI doc. My other concern is that B2B is overkill for this scenario since it isn't transaction based meaning the bank will place their file a couple of times a day and not everytime there's a transaction. Hope this makes sense. Be happy to provide more info as I'm just getting started.
Thanks for any advice.

Ramesh,
Thank you for the reply. My confusion is that I don't really have a trading partner to setup or specify communication. I simply need to poll an FTP site for an EDI document and process it, basically a one-sided effort. Is this possible with B2B? There is essentially no interaction with the bank and no acknowledement that needs to be sent.
Thanks again.

Iweb FTP,Printing probems with Iweb .Pages to Web

I feel like writing Steve Jobs.Problems -I had Iweb 08 , upgraded to Iweb09 because of the press how FTP was solved. I cannot upload to my server. I have spent hours talking to Apple Care reps.I have tried several FTP softwares other than Iweb.One rep told me they do have a problem with FTP out of Iweb to Microsoft base servers.Solution given and tried - first publish to a folder on the desktop and burn a cd for the host provider.Does not work. Next publish to documents and burn a CD and still garbage on the CD for my host provider. I have images and get the message"can't create the file shapeimage- 2png and the results all my images that are referenced as Fig 1 and so on well the figures get place all over and not in the proper location on all the CD burnt. So I cannot publish to the host. Second as of today and after two hours talking to Apple Care with Iweb, I have lessons as lesson 1 2 3 and so on. Well the lessons show up in full in view , but when i go to print if the lesson is 15 pages it will only show 9 in the preview print window and only print 9 pages but viewing the lesson in Iweb all pages show up as all 15. I tried all the recommendations from Apple Care . They do not know why the problem exist. They said maybe with Iweb 09 they limit how many pages you can have in a text box? They have no written notes that this is the case though. I think the problem has to do with something related to in preview it shows the pages as being PDF now when it scroll through the preview showing the pages and maybe this somehow as a default will not allow printing all pages. So I have 15 pages to print out in Iweb and when I go to print it previews and stops at page 9, but the remaining pages still there to view in Iweb. Page allows me to send the info in Iweb out now but it excludes the images so sort of messy. It did not allow this s before . I upgraded to Iweb 09 and have Pages 08, and bet if I install Pages 09 I wont be able to send anything from Iweb to Pages. They do allow you to send information from Pages to Iweb so why not the reverse?My last though is to send from Iweb to Pages, do the massive amount of images again but in Pages and then can I send this as PDF to a Microsoft server and get my website up and running. The problem is not my host it is Apple. FTP does not work ? I have intel chips . Any way to exit Iweb to go to a Microsoft server some clever way here?The monster problem with Iweb is that if you want even a small business everyone has to have the same password so if you want access limited to maybe paying subscribers forget it . Everyone has to be given the same password access so they can pass the password around and every is there for free. Anyone know of a tag on product to handle E-mail password allocation instead of hiring a heavy PHP programmer?. Still going to have a host out of Iweb and this seems impossible. Any help from the knowledgeable - 25 hours wasted so far here.

I'm turning your post into paragraphs so I (and other peiople) can actually understand it:

So from what I can make out, your problems are:
1. Uploading to FTP/publishing
2. Printing
3. iWeb and Pages use
4. Password protection in iWeb
Ok, so for a website you don't want to be burning things to CD or converting a whole site into PDF format. You want individual webpages with proper formats. There's little point in exporting from iWeb to Pages because if you want the webpage info on paper, you print it. If you want to send it to someone, you send them your webpage address. (However, copying from Pages to iWeb is useful for easy publishing from existing documents or drafts).
Your print preview may be a problem, but as long as everything's printed it doesn't make any difference? Not sure what you're trying to say here, and not sure why you're printing webpages anyway? You can take screenshots of your webpage if that's easier.
It sounds like you are trying to cram far too much information in. Try uploading a very simple page with a couple of lines of text via FTP and see if that works. Which webhost are you using, or are you doing it all on an internal server? If you are, I recommend trying to use the web to upload something just to check.
iWeb isn't designed for businesses, and in fact is against Apple's terms of service. It sounds like you really need to employ someone who knows what they're doing. If you don't want to spend the money on a programmer, try hiring a couple of university students studying business/IT, or at least have a temp to consult and tell you what you need. It sounds like you've got yourself into a real tangle.

Using iWeb ftp trouble but not with Fetch

I have a site I created with iWeb and I cannot get it to publish to the ftp server (3essentials). I currently publish the site to a local folder, then upload the site folder using fetch. I would like to do it all through iWeb. But I keep getting an error? Any ideas on why it work for fetch and not iWeb?
thanks for any ideas.

Thanks for the tip. I tried it, and I had more success but not complete ...it now goes along farther without quitting,but says my password is incorrect. Which doesn't make sense because it is the same password that works for Fetch.
any ideas?
thanks,

Iweb issue - question marks ??

Hello
I'm a new user to iweb and this is my first post.
Basically I have been getting used to the iweb app for a few days now and have started putting a basic website tigether as a kind of online cv for the work I do.
I currently have a small amount of web space (55meg) with my broadband account and have been using this to publish and test my web site.
I have been using Safari, Firefox and Internet Explorer 5.2 on my G5 to view the web site.
Generally everything looks fine, but the odd question mark symbol keeps popping up. Ironically the site seems to look best in IE, but question mark symbols show up in all three browsers.
I wondered if anyone may be able to help with this ?
Many thanks in advance

IWeb Ftp Publishing issues

Hi all hope someone out there has an answer for my dilema. Have a site xxxx.ca and i have created a site on Iweb for this and called it xxxx.ca
Now here comes my problem I use the FTP in Iweb with these settings
Site Name: xxxx.ca
my email
Server Address76.74.128.xxx
user name:------
PaSSOWORD:------
Dir/Path: /public_html
Ftp port 21
Url: http://-------
after it uploads to server files doo upload but they create another directory. so instead of going to www.xxxx.ca it comes up www.xxxx.ca/xxxx.ca
Why the extra directory????

In order to avoid the dubble site name you must publish your website to a Local folder then upload just the contents of the site folder to your web host

IWeb FTP sites from Power Mac to MackBook Pro

How do I move Powe Mac/iWeb 9 FTP sites to a MacBook Pro/iWeb 11?

You might have a MacBook Pro, but it does not have iWeb 11 - that does not exist. It has iLife 11 installed, but you still have iWeb 09, which is still part of the iLife 11 boxed set.
To move your sites, you need to move your domain.sites files and transfer these from your old Power Mac to your new Mac. These are located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Make sure that you do in fact look under your User Library and NOT your System Library, as iWeb is not there.

Iweb 08 question

hi, i dont create web pages and never will, so can someone tell me if i can remove iweb 08 from my macbook air ?
IM new to Mac so i wanted to free up some space on my HD. Will removeing iweb harm my system ? will it free up a decent amount of space ?
Is removeing the app as easy as dragging the icon to the trash bin ?
Thanks

hi, i dont create web pages and never will, so can someone tell me if i can remove iweb 08 from my macbook air ?
See your last question.
IM new to Mac so i wanted to free up some space on my HD. Will removeing iweb harm my system ? will it free up a decent amount of space ?
Select iWeb and type Cmd-I. It will show you the size of that application. Its' 339 MB.
Is removeing the app as easy as dragging the icon to the trash bin ?
Yes, in fact it's the same. The icon IS the application.
BTW, the application is in the Application folder. Just in case you mistake the icon in the Dock.
And in case you regret your decision, the iweb application is on your Install Disk.

IWeb FTP Publish Site Changes

Whenever I publish JUST the small changes to my site, and then attempt to view the website, my site just hangs and will NEVER load. I have to go back and publish the ENTIRE site. This significantly increases my bandwidth consumption on my hosting service. I'm not overly concerned about that, but it does take a VERY long time to actually publish my site
Has anyone else had this issue and perhaps found a fix???
thanks!!!

I guess you might change the method you are using to publish your site. Either try using an ftp program like CyberDuck with synchronization or change to the integrated ftp function inside iWeb 09.
What kind of host - Linux or Windows are you trying to publish to?

Iweb/podcast question

I created a podcast using Audacity. i forgot to put the artist name in the id3 tag. now when i go to iTunes the artist name says UNKNOWN. Who do i change this?
i used iweb to make my website, and used the podcast page to post my podcast. the RSS feed was given to me by iweb.
that is the only thing wrong with my podcast. do i need to edit the RSS feed? if i do, how do i do this?
sorry for the newbie question.
thanx,
Mj Timothy Scott

No, unfortunately not. Not through iWeb, not by any means. If any kind of media can be displayed in a browser - be it audio, video, or still images - it can be downloaded or saved locally by the viewer.
It's the old adage...Where there's the will, there's a way.
