Uploading iweb site using filezilla

I am using filezilla right now to upload my site I have created on iweb. Everything is working fine other than the fact that it seems that everytime I make a simple change to a page or something I then have to go and upload the whole site all over again which can be very time consuming. So I was wondering if any of you had any tips or ideas on how to get around this. Thanks for your help!

i am struggling to even upload using i web / filezilla - i am a novice!!
To get help, you need to explain what your problem is in more detail. In the meantime try Cyberduck and see if these instructions help:

Publish an iWeb site using Lion Server

Does any one know how to publish an iWeb site using Lion Server.
I've been getting failures every time I try to publish using ftp server choise.
HELP!!!

I solved this by turning off passive mode. I was using iWeb and Rapid Weaver for creating websites and had the same problem. Now they both work fine on the transfer. Hope this helps.

How do I upload iWeb-site without using 'Flie Publish' feature?

Due to corporate firewall restrictions I cannot use iDisk, Sync or iWeb to connect to .mac, which presented a problem when I wanted to Publish my iWeb site.
I have uploaded the site [via webdav, with Transmit] to the Sites folder of my iDisk, but I can't find my site when I enter my .mac URL into my browser (http://web.mac.com/myusername or http://homepage.mac.com/myusername).
Theoretically, is this the right way to upload to iDisk without using iWeb? Is there anything else I need to do to link my URL to the files in iDisk/Sites?
Thanks in advance, Lee.

Ok, my member name is leepaulvickers.
I've tried
http://web.mac.com/leepaulvickers
http://web.mac.com/leepaulvickers/iweb
http://web.mac.com/leepaulvickers/leepaulvickers
http://homepage.mac.com/leepaulvickers
but just get the 'we can't find the HomePage you've requested' 404 error.
BTW I've used Transmit to upload to my iDisk in the past, such as files and photos with no problems. I assumed there would be no trouble with iWeb's files...

Uploading iWeb site to internet.

Error message "cannot connect to server" when I try uploading my iWeb site to the internet (godaddy.com url). I saved the html file to my local hard drive (on the desktop) and tried uploading through FTP on iWeb, FileZilla, and GoDaddy's. Similar error messages on all three. Solutions? Fixes? Better ways to make and get my website up?! Also, not sure if it makes a difference but I don't have an iWeb account or a MobileMe account. I just happen to have the software on my MacBook Pro so I thought it'd be an easy way to make my first website.
Thank you!

Okay, so firstly, you CAN't have an iWeb account - iWeb is an application that is on your Mac and you can use it whatever if it is there - there is no account that is needed.
You will not now be able to get a MobileMe account if you don't already have one, as they are not taking any more subscriptions as it will not be here from June next year, iCloud having replaced it.
You say that you have a "url" or do you mean domain name from GoDaddy? If you do, then to be able to upload a website you also need to purchase a hosting account from them.
Not having a hosting account would be one very good reason why you would be getting the error messages' cannot connect to server' - this is because you have no server/host to connect to because you don't have a hosting account.
Go to GoDaddy and purcahse a hosting account from them and you will then be able to upload your site.

Uploading iweb site to path within a directory

I need to upload my website to a certain path within a larger directory. My iweb site is not the main site. The main site though uses php and well iweb doesn't. Is it still possible to upload my iweb site to a path in this directory and it function correctly? If so, how would I go about doing this?

Upload iweb site?

I need to upload the iweb site i made to a .com i know i can save the project to a folder and do it that way. My problem is this. I have a website now that i pay for I have the domain i need through internet account manager. the domain is paid for i can cancel the domain and free it up or use the site to host my domain.
anyways i need to know how to turn my iweb website into a legit .com It need to be professional like anew.com i cant have those long addresses that i get when i use mobil me to host my website where its [email protected] can someone show me where i can go or how i can upload my iweb site and have it be simple.com style i dont mind paying for the service. please help i needed this site up last week.
thanks

To be able to have a web mail address like [email protected] you need to upload your files to a commercial hosting account rather than MobileMe.
You can upload the files using the iWeb FTP or, better still, an FTP application since you will want to publish your site to a local folder first to add tags for SEO.

Once your files are uploaded, you can forward the domain name using Cname by going into your domain registrar account or, more conveniently in the long run, switch the domain name registration to your hosting company.
Web mail is set up in your hosting account control panel and it can be any name you like @yourwebsite.com and forwarded to any number of email addresses.

Adding files to iWeb site using .mac

Hi
Apologies if this has been answered before but I would like to achieve the following:
I have an iWeb site published to a .mac account. I would like to add links to other files such as m3u or qtl playlists and host the mp3/mov files somewhere else in my .mac account. I have read a little about using the idisk feature to achieve this. What's the best way of proceeding?

which means you have to put any file or folder linked to in this way inside iDisk>Web>Sites??
That's correct.
Presumably that means when you publish any updates out of iWeb it leaves these files/folders alone and only updates what it needs to?
You can create folders as you like.
Just make sure you do not add a Site in iWeb with the same name as your folder. iWeb will overwrite that folder. Try it.
And do not add an index.html file of your own in the root of the Server. I have a custom index.html file. So any time I publish a Site in iWeb (by mistake) I have to make sure I replace the index.html file by iWeb with the file of my own.
But I do a lot of things I'm not supposed to do.

Problems uploading iWeb site, keychain issue

Hi
I updated my iWeb site yesterday and uploaded, everything fine.
I have done some amends this morning and then tried to upload. I get kicked backs with an offer to learn about MobileMe, which I already have. So I click the sign in button and it tells me I have a Keychain error which prevents access.
All looks fine in Keychain.
I have gone to system prefs and tried to access my MobileMe account. I am denied access.
I have tried deleting the plists from my library, no effect.
Anyone got any thoughts?
Thanks
Jon

Jon ~ Try this: Quit iWeb. Then  menu > System Preferences... > MobileMe icon > Account tab > click on Sign Out... Then enter a garbage name and password and try to sign in. This apparently clears the MobileMe preferences. Then enter your real username and password. Once signed in, quit System Preferences, open iWeb and see if you can publish.
If that doesn't help and no-one else chips in here with a suggestion, MobileMe live chat support is now 24/7 — see this announcement.

Uploading iWeb site to godaddy host

Greetings,
I am trying to publish one of my iWeb generate sites to a godaddy account. When I publish to a folder it publishes all of my sites to the folder - I am just interested in this one site. So I move that site folder out of the published folder and attempt to upload it and haven't had any success.
Also, I have tried several FTP clients, fetch, filezilla, fireftp and the go daddy on line ftp client(limited to 4 mg which is okay right now).
I can't upload anything and can't figure out where my problem is - these clients seem fairly straight forward.
Thanks

Thanks for the responses. I think my problem is related to the cable modem. I had some problems with my vonage VOIP and the vonage tech person said there was an issue with that particular modem. Comcast says there are no problems on their end but I am suspicious. Anyway, I don't seem to have any other issues. I e-mailed my published files to my home computer also with comcast and was able to upload the files through fireftp first try. I then had to take/move the pages out of the folder using fireftp and place them in the general part of the HTML godaddy folder - up and running.
How do I do or track down these issues with my cable modem at my office(btw 1 computer and two voip lines). I've tried running the ethernet directly to the computer bypassing the voip stuff with no joy.
Thanks for the help

Uploading iWeb site to personal domain via FTP client (NOT .MAC)

Hello,
I want to upload my iweb created website to my personal domain, in other words I do not want my domain to point to my .mac address.
I am downloading Cyberduck as my FTP client. Will I just send my whole "site" folder to my public folder at my personal domain? Will it be in the right order? How will I update each day? (Can I set up iWeb so that when I click "publish" it will update my personal domain?)
I was planning on using some wordpress plugins to modify my site. Will this work? I am totally lost, I had no idea I needed so much background info to blog outside of .mac! I guess I just want to design with iweb, and be able to use all the tools of my AN Hosting and wordpress.
Thanks for your help in advance!

Will I just send my whole "site" folder to my public folder at my personal domain?
You send the folder created by iWeb which has the same name as you gave your site inside the iWeb app, plus the index.html file which iWeb created alongside that folder.
How will I update each day?
By publishing again to a folder and uploading again via ftp.
(Can I set up iWeb so that when I click "publish" it will update my personal domain?)
No. If iWeb could do that you would not need an ftp program to start with.
I was planning on using some wordpress plugins to modify my site.
No idea, but generally speaking modifying iWeb to add stuff requires manual editing of the html after publishing and redoing it every time you republish.

Trouble uploading iweb site

I have created my site in iWeb '08 and published it to a folder. I am uploading it to a domain I have with MacHighway via FTP (Cyberduck). When all files are finished uploading, I visit the site on safari and only text appears. No images, music, or photos, not even html. The hosting service is using a Linux server, and I've been back and forth with Apple and MacHighway support trying to fix the problem. Can anyone help?

When iWeb publishes to a folder it produces a Site folder (your site name from iWeb) and a separate index file. When you upload using Cyberduck and if your server has a Public_html folder, then you need to upload both your site folder and index folder and place them in your Public_html folder. The site folder goes in the Public folder and the index file does too, but it resides outside your site folder. There is another index file inside this site folder and the separate index file needs to stay outside the site folder and points inside. So basically, you have one index file inside the site folder and one index file outside the site folder that points inside, with both of these in your Public folder on your hosts server.

Problem uploading iWeb site to Hostgator

I just created a site with iWeb, and got a host account with HostGator. My domain name came from NameCheap.com, so I changed the DNS as instructed. I then tried to publish my site. I entered the IP address that HostGator provided to me in iWeb's Server Settings box titled "Server address," then entered my username and password. I clicked Test Connection, but I keep getting a message telling me that I am offline. I am definitely online, and I tested the IP address with Cyberduck successfully, so it's a problem with iWeb. Does it work to enter the IP address in "Server Address," or am I supposed to wait until the DNS change takes effect and enter a different server address?

Publish your site to a folder on your HD and use Cyberduck to upload the contents of that folder, the site folder and an index.html file, to your host server. Cyberduck is reported to be much more reliable that the built in ftp client of iWeb.

How to restore uploaded iWeb sites as iWeb data on your computer.

My original internal HD died. Fortunately, I had data backed up with Time Machine. Unfortunately, I had turned off automatic backup because Time Machine was giving my computer problems and I'd forgotten to do a manual backup. So the last backup my Time Machine did was in 2008. In that time when I Time Machine was turned off, I had created a few sites on iWeb and uploaded to my Mobile Me account. I now have a new HD and restored all my data from my Time Machine backup but the most up to date are from 2008. I've lost the iWeb files created in 2009. Is it possible to restore my iWeb files to my computer from the files I uploaded to the Mobile Me server? If so, how would I do it? Hope there's a way. Thanks.

As you already found out you'll have to rebuild from scratch. However, Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing image, audio and/or video files in the published site in the reconstruction of the site.
Also it might be a good time to develop a backup strategy.

How do I create two iWeb sites using a single .Mac account?

I would like to create two distinct sites/URLs using iWeb and a single — not a family — .Mac account. Is this possible? If so, what are the basic steps?
When I read related forum posts, it would seem to me that one site would overwrite the other site when I publish. Yes or no?
iBook 1.2 mhz, G4 Mac OS X (10.3.6)
iBook 1.2 mhz, G4 Mac OS X (10.3.6)
iBook 1.2 mhz, G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4) iLife 06

I would like to create two distinct sites/URLs using
iWeb and a single — not a family — .Mac account. Is
this possible? If so, what are the basic steps?
If you just do the obvious and use File > New Site in iWeb, you do create two distinct sites with different urls. However, you cannot exactly duplicate page names in the sites or publish changes in one without publishing changes in the other. The short default url web.mac.com/username/iWeb normally goes to the top site on the list within iWeb.
If you create two sites with distinct names in different accounts on your machine, they should not overwrite each other, and they should also have distinct urls. However I think that the
index.html file which tells browsers what to do with the default short url web.mac.com/username/iWeb may get confused, so that deleting that or modifying it manually might be desirable.
