Publishing Website Updates via FTP

Hi,
I've just published my first iWeb site to an external domain. It's a fairly big site and took a while to upload via FTP due to restrictions in their upload bandwidth (no files larger than 2 meg).
I've just added some additional photos to the photo album page and want to publish the update to the site. Which files do I need to replace on the FTP in order for this change to happen? I figured I'd just replace the 'photos' page folder and the 'photos.html' page file and that this would be sufficient. I can see the new photos in the 'photos' folder on the FTP but the page hasn't updated. What am I doing wrong? Surely I don't have to re-upload all of the iWeb files? Surely I only need to re-upload the files that were amended?
Thanks
Simon

  • Website update via iPhone possible (maybe at a later point in time)?

    Hi, I have just one question about the possibility to update own websites on the road via the iPhone. I mean when I update websites from home I use a FTP program but now with the iPhone I would like to have also the chance to update the pages from somewhere else like the sportspark right after a game. Is there any application available to do that? Thanks in advance!!

    i dont know how good your website/coding knowledge is, or if its even possible (i imagine it is via RSS), but if you're DESPERATE for something, you can sign up for blogger. blogger allows you to update via email. and then you can import those posts to your website.

  • Google Analytics and Publishing Via FTP

    This may have been asked here before but, is there any way to ad google analytics to an iweb site that is published within iweb Via FTP? I haven't found any way to do it yet. Is there any way to do it with out using an external FTP program

    Hello and welcome.
    To add Analytics (assuming you already have the code from Google) you must publish your IWeb created site to a folder on your hard drive first.
    Use a tool like IWEB SEO TOOL (Here: http://www.ragesw.com/products/iweb-seo-tool.html) and after applying the code to all your HTML pages upload your website FTP.
    You will have to reapply the code everytime you make a change and republish your website.

  • ICal 2.0.5 and publish via FTP?

    I have been using the free plugin scalp (http://pygmysoftware.com/software/scalp/) to enable iCal to publish a calendar to an FTP site (where I am displaying it with phpicalendar). It has been working great, was easy to set up, and is free (although donations are encouraged).
    Unfortunately, the 10.4.9 update installed a new version of iCal (2.0.5) which is now giving me the following message when it loads "iCal 2.0.5 (v1069) has not been tested with the plugin Scalp (null) (v0.1). As a precaution, it has not been loaded. Please contact the plugin developer for further information."
    Several questions:
    1. I can't find any information anywhere about what iCal 2.0.5 adds - i.e., does it by any chance add the ability to publish a calendar via FTP?
    2. Is there a way to get iCal to load the plugin, so that I can test to see if it works without issue?
    I have contacted the developer, but thought I would ask here also to cover all bases.
    Thanks,
    Barry

    Please check http://pygmysoftware.com/software/scalp/
    There is a new version of Scalp working with 2.0.5 again and brings back usable FTP-export.

  • Flash Update via SCUP Problem

    Hello,
    I am deploying Updates via SCUP and SCCM to hundreds of Computers.
    Fortunately Adobe provides an SCCM Update Catalog for both Adobe Flash ActiveX and Adobe Flash Plugin.
    But now my Problem:
    After publishing the Update via SCCM, the client is not supposed to be interfered with the Update Progress (which is working)
    I figured the Updater works like this:
    First SCCM checks if a Update needs to be deployed, if this is the case, The Flash Updater begins.
    First the old Flash Version is beeing uninstalled.
    But now: if the Client has a Browser Window (IE, or Firefox) open, the Updater is not able to install the new Flash Version and quits with an Error.
    This leaves the Client PC without any Flash (because its being uninstalled before)
    How can I prevent Flash being uninstalled due to the Update progress not working while a Browser window is open?
    Thank you very much!
    Sincerely Martin

  • Document Updates in a folder via FTP considered Publish Points?

    Hello,
    We currently have a website that is deployed via IIS that we are planning to move to Azure Web Services.
    This web contains a folder in the web site directory that contains files and documents for users to download. The site itself contains code that manages the files, and presents specific files to specific users.
    Throughout the month, these files and document gets updated (additions as well as replacements); even though the website does not get updated.  Users use FTP to transfer files into current folder on the IIS server.
    The issue we are facing:
    My concern is that updating documents in this folder via FTP does not create a publish point (and considered as dynamic changes) and if the site is re-deployed or scaled, the document changes are not picked up.
    Can anybody confirm that: If we use FTP to update documents in this folder, Azure Web Services will recognize this as a Publish Point?
    Thank you.  Your help is very much appreciated.
    PCR.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I confirmed that we are using Azure Websites.
    We had a previous website with a similar situation where the website contained a folder with documents (pdf, doc, and xls).  Files were added into this folder periodically.  Then one day we noticed that a number of files were missing.  When
    we researched the problem, we were led to believe that something on the back end moved the website to a different server, and used a previous instance of the website.
    Our web development manager thought he found an article that stated that we should not keep dynamic files within the website structure.
    It would be great if this is no longer the case (or that we are mistaken in our interpretation).

  • I have updated my website, and uploaded via FTP, but some images are missing.  I have deleted them in i

    I have published a website with iWeb on MobileMe quite successfully.  I purchased a second domain name, and republished the same site on GoDaddy before trying to point my MobileMe website name to the GoDaddy server. I was unable to upload several pictures to the second site, and posted my dilemma here.  It was suggested that I try using Cyberduck to publish via FTP, which I did.  I was still missing the same images. The error message says that there was a communications error with the FTP server and to try again later.  I have been able to upload several more new images to the second domain name just by using iWeb's publish feature. 
    I want to point my MobileMe website name, www.melissaveres.com to GoDaddy, which is now hosting www.mveres-engraver.com but it will only show the site as it is currently published, with several missing pictures.  I have tried to delete the photos in iWeb, bring them back in, and republish but with the same results.  I have contacted GoDaddy support, who can only tell me there is no file information for those open (missing) pictures, they have heard of this happening before, but had no information on how or if it was resolved.  Anyone know how to get these pictures up before I move from MobileMe? 
    Melissa

    Bring up the Activity window (Command+Option+A) for you site and check to see what files are missing and where they belong.  The URL for the missing files will tell  you what folder they should be in.
    Then publish you website to a folder on your hard drive and open it locally with your browser.  Check to verify all images and present and the site works as you want.  Then you can upload the missing files or folder containing the missing files or the eintire site folder to your GoDaddy account with Cyberduck.

  • IWeb not publishing website via FTP after adding music

    Hi all,
    When I drag a piece of music on my iWeb website and try to publish via FTP, I get the "there was an error communicating with FTP server" message. Any ideas? Yes this is my own copyrighted music, not other people's music.

    Try publishing to a local folder and launch the site in your browser by double clicking the index.html file.
    This will tell you if the problem is in iWeb or publishing. See...

  • Cannot update published website without errors: requires deletion of site, then creating a new one.

    Hello all,
    This has been a long persisting issue since we purchased Muse in January 2013, but has since then led to a shutdown of my office's website and email in September. Multiple support technicians were eventually able to restore the website, as well as our email function, but the core of the problem lies in the fact that when I update my website, it becomes entirely scrambled, and the only solution provided to me right now is that I need to delete my site completely (through Adobe Business Catalyst) and then create a new one, while transferring over the same domain information. I have yet to receive guidance on how to resolve this issue properly:
    September 06 Email: detailing the series of events
    Good evening, Zak,
    I am reluctant to bring this to your attention because of the comprehensive nature of the following, but I have been told that my absolute last effort should be to contact you with what has been a persistent problem since the last time we had mediated this particular issue. Essentially, when publishing a website multiple times, sooner than later the format becomes scrambled when viewed online. I am being told I am the only customer known to have this issue, and that it needs to be investigated deeper.
    This is a blurb from our original conversation in March 2013:

    I'm also puzzled. This isn't a problem I've seen before for a site published to Business Catalyst.
    Please try publishing again, this time to a new temporary site (they're free). You can choose this option under More Options in the Publish dialog. I'm curious whether publishing to a new empty trial site works.
    If that doesn't work, please send me the .muse file at [email protected] along with a link to this thread. If the file is larger than 20Mb you can use a service like Adobe SendNow, SendThisFile, WeTransfer, Dropbox, etc.

    Hi Zak,
    I published the website to a new temporary site, and it worked beautifully. Now I just have to fuss with the horizontal bar, and then I'll be super happy. Thank you for your help!
    Sincerely,
    Sarah
    Since this bit of advice, I have freely published to a new temporary site every time the website gets scrambled. I have had temporary websites titled:
    argponline01.businesscatalyst.com
    through
    argponline15.businesscatalyst.com
    along with a bunch more than I cannot recall.
    and Muse files titled:
    argp-uc.muse
    argponline.muse
    argponline_02.muse
    through
    argponline_05.muse
    argponine_3A.muse
    argponline_3B.muse
    and currently, my file name is
    argponline_4.muse (dropbox link)
    I am using Muse on a Mac Powerbook, OSX 10.8.4.
    I don't know how much of the above is relevant, but maybe it makes a difference to you.
    The timestamp on the following thread says September 5th, 2013 4.50AM, but I really sent it the evening of September 4th, 2013. No difference anyhow:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5653912#5653912
    What was going on in detail:
    1
    I made a few changes to my argponline_4.muse file on September 4th, 2013.
    The published website at that point was argponlined.businesscatalyst.com (D).
    The domain name was argponline.com .
    (D) was published probably about two months previous, maybe longer ago.
    When publishing (D) on September 4th, 2013, the website appeared scrambled.
    I tried to publish only modified files, as well as publish the entire site, as well as close programs, and restart the laptop.
    I decided to follow the advice given previously, and I published and launched argponlinef.businesscatalyst.com (F).
    2
    At this point I have two bookmarked websites for Adobe Business Catalyst Admin Consoles.
    For (D), the Admin Console address was argponlined.businesscatalyst.com/AdminConsole/#!/Admin/Websites.aspx 
    For (F), the Admin Console address was argponlinef.businesscatalyst.com/AdminConsole/#!/Admin/Websites.aspx
    I was able to sign into both.
    When signed into the Admin Console for (F), I tried to Add a New Domain, but was told that I only had a plan for one hosted website through Adobe Business Catalyst, and that I would need to purchase a plan that offered more hosted websites.
    I signed into the Admin Console for (D) and deleted the domain, but given the option to keep associated files just in case, I opted yes, to keep them.
    When signed into the Admin Console for (F), I tried to Add a New Domain, but received the following error message:
    Domain already exists. Please delete all records associated with this domain before re-adding it.
    There was nothing visible though the Admin Console for (D) to delete the associated records, so I deleted site (D) in its entirety.
    I continued to try to Add a New Domain for (F), but continued to receive the same error Domain already exists...
    3
    At this point (the morning of September 6th, 2013) we have the following set of parts:
    The published and launched site is argponlinef.businesscatalyst.com (F). 
    For (F), the Admin Console address is argponlinef.businesscatalyst.com/AdminConsole/#!/Admin/Websites.aspx
    The website is now completely down, and I have disrupted email service for the office.
    I chatted with Lokesh, who determined this was a technical issue, and I was forwarded to Anshul.
    Anshul's assessment is as follows:
    Anshul: I see the error, Sarah it seems there are some Domain traces left with the system , I tried to clear then out and I am getting errors as well. In this case , we might need to escalate the case to higher level to have deeper investigation related to this issue.
    Anshul: Sarah, the issue is the domain not the site. It seems like there are some traces related this domain in the backend. This issue is more of related to BC and not Muse. I will have this issue escalated and checked with the team and request them to run internal queries to clear the traces and then you should be able to add the domain.
    4
    Soon after I received the following message from Matt Baracz:
    Matt Baracz (Adobe Business Catalyst Support)
    Sep 06 10:50 (EEST)
    Thank you for contacting us.
    I have escalated this issue to our engineering team and have requested them to clear any references to the domain argponline.com from our database. Once cleared, you will then be able to re-add the domain successfully to your site.
    As soon as I receive a response from engineering confirming that this has been actioned, I will let you know directly via this support ticket.
    Regards,
    Matt.
    Around 3 or 4pm, I had not heard anything back, so I attempted to Add a New Domain through the Admin Console for (F). (Turns out Matt works in Australia, and was unable to alert me due to the time zone difference. Understandable!)
    This was done successfully, so the website began to work again, but the email was still down.
    5
    I began a chat again, this time with Srividya. I was transferred to technical support and began conversation with Sanjit. The length of our conversation was probably around 3 hours, and I am so grateful for the time he put in. What a great guy.
    He stated that he had gone through the case details and that Engineering had fixed the issue. We spent some time coordinating the Site Domain information through the Admin Console for (F). Ultimately, email is still not working (settings were probably updated around 5pm), but I understand sometimes it takes a while. Just wanted to note, the last time I updated the email settings it worked within a couple minutes. Varying lengths of time are expected, but I am still curious what effects those variations. Regardless.
    6
    The current situation is this:
    My boss is a bit steamed that our website was down for a day and a half, and that our email is down for a relatively indeterminate amount of time. It's bad for business, and ultimately, I am responsible for these disruptions. I am incredibly concerned that the next time I update our website there will be a slew of problems, which have the potential to knock down service for the website and email again. I am desperate for a surefire way to simply and fluidly update our Adobe Muse website to Adobe Business Catalyst without making the same mistakes again.
    I don't believe I did this the right way. I looked at FAQs, Community Forums, goDaddy Support and anything I could lay my eyes on to try to do things properly, but managed to make a few well-intentioned blunders. I continued to try undo the damage I've done in the past couple days, and with utter frustration, have not been able to fix them on my own. The people who have helped me thus far have done an amazing job, but ultimately, I am happier when I am not taking up their time, or panicking here.
    When I first launched the website a few months ago, there was a step-by-step process that took me through every single action with screenshots included when appropriate. It was exponentially helpful. I was so lost without it this time around, and I was wondering if I could access it again in the future if needed.
    The following is a blurb from my conversation with Sanjit tonight:
    Sanjit: You have purchased Muse subscription , correct ?
    Sanjit: or Creative cloud >
    Sarah Rushing: Yes, we purchased Muse for 1-year, as well as Business Catalyst for 1-year
    Sanjit: Perfect
    Sanjit: With Muse you get 1 free site , so once you create a site and then publish to BC. In admin console you launch the site, that makes your free count used. Now if you create another site, then system asks you to upgrade the site to a paid site plan. ut when you delete the previous site then the free count becomes free and can be used for any other site
    Sarah Rushing: Yes, that is what I did. Is this what I need to do each time? Because I am concerned that the email and website will be disrupted every time I need to make slight adjustments to the website?
    Sanjit: No, you dont need to do that everytime. If the site is scrambled everytime you publish then please report to us. Thats not the ideal way for solution.
    Sarah Rushing: Well Sanjit, I can tell you right now, that is how it has been functioning since we bought the program. I am not entirely certain, but I believe we bought Muse and BC in January.
    Sarah Rushing: I can absolutely guarantee you that the site will inevitably scramble. Am I the only customer you have heard of to have this issue?
    Sanjit: Yes, i have not seen any other reports for this issue
    Sanjit: Well this needs a deep investigation
    Zak, anything that you could offer for clarity of process, would be incredible. I don't know if you will have time to look at this before Monday, but I can tell you I will be available at a moment's notice to fix this issue and to learn anything about Muse and Business Catalyst that you have to offer. Thank you for your time, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
    Sincerely,
    Sarah Rushing
    I'm concerned that no one will really read this because it is so detailed and boring and comprehensive, but it is absolutely critical that I find a proper solution before the next update to the website. Thank you so so much to anyone who can possibly provide some insight into this issue.
    Sincerely,
    Sarah Rushing

    In case anyone is experiencing the same issue, I am trying this today.
    Sachin: Okay Sarah, so is it everytime you try to republish the website, it gets scrambled?
    Sarah: Yes, that is correct. And the solution thus far was to publish to an entirely new site, meaning delete the existing one on Business Catalyst and transfer the domain information.
    Sarah: The last time I did that I experience a slew of issues that resulted in no website and email for 4 or more days. My boss was very angry.
    Sachin: Sarah, can you publish your site as a new trial site once.
    Sachin: And provide me the URL.
    Sachin: Then republish on the same trial site and let me check the results.
    Sarah: If I updated the published site within the period of a day, it will be fine. It is when I update the next day or later than that, then the website appears scrambled. So I can create a trial site for you, but it will behave normally for now.
    Sachin: Sarah, while republishing the site, did you select "Only modified file" or "All files" while publishing?
    Sarah: I tried everything.
    Sarah: I made a few changes to my argponline_4.muse file on September 4th, 2013. The published website at that point was argponlined.businesscatalyst.com (D). The domain name was argponline.com . (D) was published probably about two months previous, maybe longer ago. When publishing (D) on September 4th, 2013, the website appeared scrambled. I tried to publish only modified files, as well as publish the entire site, as well as close programs, and restart the laptop. I decided to follow the advice given previously, and I published and launched argponlinef.businesscatalyst.com (F).
    Sachin: Okay. there is one  more thing I would like you to try.
    Sachin: Publish a site as a trial site.
    Sachin: Then wait till tomorrow.
    Sachin: After that login to the admin panel of the site.
    Sarah: Okay
    Sachin: There go to Site Manager>File manager
    Sachin: There will be a file there named Muse_manifest.xml
    Sachin: Delete that file and then republish the  site from Muse.
    Sarah: So in the Adobe Admin Console, underneath Site Manager, I see Web Forms and System E-mails. No file manager?
    Sachin: Please hover the muse on your name at top right corner and click  on My details.
    Sarah: Okay, yes.
    Sachin: Now scroll down  and check the option that says Enable online content editing (incompatible with Muse)
    Sachin: And  then click  on save.
    Sarah: What does this do, and why does it say it is incompatible with Muse?
    Sachin: It will help you see  other options in BC.
    Sarah: Okay, thank you.
    Sarah: I see the File Manager now
    Sachin: Okay.
    Sachin: Now select the file named Muse_manifest.xml
    Sachin: And use the delete button on the right side.
    Sachin: but do it tomorrow
    Sachin: With a trial site
    Sachin: Not with  the live site.
    Sarah: Okay, could you please explain to me what deleting that particular file is supposed to do? I am just very interested in how this works.
    Sachin: This file contains the information about your last upload.
    Sachin: Deleting it will make sure that "ALL" the files are uploaded again from Muse.
    Sarah: Okay, so:
    Sarah: I will publish a trial site.
    Sarah: Wait until tomorrow.
    Sarah: Publish again. If I have an issue, I can log-in to the admin console for this particular trial site and go to Site Manager --> File Manager, and delete muse_manifest.xml.
    Sachin: I will create a case for you and you can respond to the case.
    Sachin: Correct.
    Sarah: After that, I will try publishing again and see if it resolves the issue.
    Sarah: That would be great, thank you Sachin.
    Sachin: Thank you for contacting us. Have a Good Day!

  • IWeb photo captions published via ftp?

    I'm new to iWeb - are photo captions published via ftp now that MobileMe is defunct?  The info in Publish Site says no.  As I wish to use photos purchased and downloaded from a stock agency, they must be captioned with the photographer's name.  I can work around this by acknowledging the photographers in a list above the Album I've created rather than under each photo (if this proves to be acceptable to the stock agency), but this isn't ideal.  Thanks for any advise you can offer.

    Captions added to the images inside a photos template are published no matter where you publish your website.

    When I opened iweb it opened as a file I deleated. I have a published website with godaddy and would like to update. How can I open the existing iWeb app to the site that is already published?

    You cannot retrieve the already published site as iWeb CANNOT open it - it has no import facility.
    You need your domain.sites file, which you can find under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.  You do not need any kind of account for this because it is your domain.sites file that resides on the hard drive of your Mac anyway.  Find this file and you can alter your website.
    Use a spotlight search to try and find it and if this does not work you can download something called Find Any File.  If you really can't find it, then you'll have to start from scratch because iWeb cannot open a site that is already published.

    Hello Els,
    it's well known, that in all these cases you describe I'm not a friend of a detailed Troubleshooting (I see Nancy#s smile already).
    To be able to be independent in all this things It is one of the reasons why I prefer an external FTP program. The difficulties with which you have to fight encourage me in this opinion, not least because we always search for experts, we don't charge a "jack of all trades".
    To manage several websites or to upload my files and sometimes for the opposite way, for a necessary download from my server or to use a "a site-wide synch", I'm using FileZilla. It simply looks easier for me to keep track of all operations precisely and generate or reflect easily the desired tree structure.
    Above all, FileZilla has a feature (translation from my German FileZilla) called "compare file list". Here it's possible to use file size or modification time as a criterion. There is also the possibility to "hide identical files", so that only these files which you want to redact remain visible.
    And even if it means you have to install a new program, I am convinced that there is an advantage. Here is the link to get it and where you can read informations about how it works:
    http://filezilla-project.org/ and http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Tutorial#Using_the_site_manager
    Mac: Mac OS X (Use: Show additional download options)
    http://filezilla-project.org/download.php
    Of course, you also need all the access data to reach your server and for MIME issues, you should contact your web host/provider.
    Good luck!
