Using FTP to publish an iWEb site

I have my own personal domain name and hosting space so using the FTP feature in iWeb. I can fill out all the info, and 'Test the Connection' which it passes, but the 'Publish' button has dimmed as is the the menu option. Any ideas? I've tried making a minor change in order to save and publish but it just doesn't want to.
thank you

  • What FREE hosting service should I publish my iweb site to???

    What's the best free website hosting service I should use to publish my iweb folder to through FTP???
    I dont get how to use FTP to publish my iWeb site folder to a website server also?? I have Cyberduck.
    Please, any suggestions will be much appreciated!!!!:)

    You publish to a folder and then use an FTP client like the free CyberDuck to upload to your selected host server. You'll need to search for free hosting servers and select the one that will work best for you. You will get ads embedded in your web site when you use a free hosting service.

  • 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.

  • Can't publish my iWeb site - has index file something to do with it?

    Hi, I've been trying to publish my iWeb site (not on a .Mac account but through ftp upload) but it hasn't worked out so far... I phoned my webspace provider's support service and the wguy I spoke to was convinced that it's due to the index file not being an .html file (he thought that the problem lies with the index.xml.gz file). Searching the discussions on this site, I figure that this isn't what's causing the problem after all...
    To continue working on the site while using another computer, I copied the 'Domain' over. Now that I've brought it back to the original computer, it seems to be causing these problems. Any idas what I could do or where the problem lies? I'd be really grateful for any hints as it's driving me 'round the bend! Cheers, A

    Did you name any of your site's pages "index"?  That can cause problems.
    Are you able to publish your site to afolder on your hard drive and open it locally with your browser?  If you haven't tried  do so and see if you can.  If you can and the site works as you designed it then the issue is in the uploading of the files.
    In that case you might try using  Cyberduck to upload your site folder and  index.html file to your server.

  • I'd like to publish an iWeb site within iCloud account.  How do we do this please?

    I'd like to publish an iWeb site within my iCloud account.  How do I do this please?

    To publish your website you need to choose a hosting service. Here are some some pointers about what to look for...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Website-Hosting.html
    Most hosting services will also offer you at least on free domain name registration.
    Since you are using iWeb '08 you will need to publish to a local folder and upload the files using an FTP application...

  • Issues with publishing my iWeb site to .MAC - Progress bar freezes at 100%

    Well, as topic says, i'm having troubles publishing my iWeb site to .MAC now since upgrading to '08. The progress bar reaches full circle, but then nothing. Left it uploading to .Mac for well over 2 hours one time while out of the house...nada. Sometimes i get an error message, sometimes not and have to close iWeb while it's still publishing.
    Any feedback regarding this?
    Thanks in advance.
    /Rich

    Update: After 36 hours, I have successfully managed to upload my entire website via the "Publish All to .Mac" option. I now have blue indicators on the left side of my iWeb program in place of those pesky red ones. How did I do it? Well, I'm not sure. But on my last attempt I looked at the problem from a different perspective, so I took an alternate approach. I had a feeling that I was experiencing a network timeout issue caused by a 3rd party software, so I created a Whitelist entry on my website filtering software that allows unlimited access to "idisk.mac.com";; and "web.mac.com";; domains. I've got two kids at home, so I'm running the free OpenDNS Dashboard service on my network which provides content filtering (blocks adult site, phishing site, etc..). I started using this service two weeks ago. My last website update was a week before that. I figured I had nothing to loose by trying. To my surprise, it worked. Now, it took almost two hours to publish, of which the pie indicator was in the  "filled" position for a nerve racking hour. To reconfirm,  I then made a minor change to one of the pages on my website and re-published. This time using the "Publish to .Mac" option in place of the ALL option and once again it worked. It took less than 5 minutes. Now, I'm not sure if this is a coincidence, maybe Apple fixed the problem, or maybe my website filtering service was causing some type of time out issue all along??  Don't know.. But at least for now, I'm a happy camper since I have my site up.

  • How do I fix an error "4652747.png" when publishing my iWeb site to iMac?

    Every time I try to publish my iWeb site to .Mac I get an error message that says there's an error in " ...files/ca4652747.png." I know this is an image file, but when i search for it on my hard drive it shows a blank image. I've tried deleting the file from the hard drive but when I re-publish, a second file "c00ff001c.png" on a different web page shows the same error. I can't figure out how to fix these errors. It publishes to a folder, or so it says, but i don't know how to check that. I am supposed to publish the entire site at the end of this week and have all the work done but can't get past this point. Can anyone help me? I'm a new mac user and this is my first shot at web design, so I've probably missed something obvious, but would appreciate any help.

    k, try this:
    backup your domain file! delete the one in the folder BUT HAVE A COPY OF IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. Then open iWeb, create something save it and publish it!
    now go to your backuped file,make one more backup!!!!
    move one of the backuped files into the Users/username/bblablabla folder and open iWeb. try publish all and see if it works!

  • Does anybody know if we can publish an iWeb site in iCloud?

    I was a member of MobileMe but since it was announced that it will be discontinued I didn't renew my subscription.
    So, my question is if, I can publish my iweb site to iCloud?
    Please advise.

    http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html
    What happens to the iWeb sites that I’ve published to MobileMe?
    You can continue publishing iWeb sites to MobileMe through June 30, 2012, even after moving to iCloud. With iWeb you can easily move a site published to MobileMe to another web hosting service and you should do so before that date. Please read this article for details.

  • Has anyone published their iWeb site to their old Homepage folder?

    Hi,
    I'd like to avoid changing URLs, and was thinking I could just publish the iWeb site to the folder my homepage site is in on my iDisk. Would that work? Has anyone done that before? Any issues I should know about?
    Thanks for your help!
    Lora

    Lora. It can be done but not much is to be gained and many features will not work the same as if published to a "folder" and then uploaded to your iDisk.
    Do a bit of "homework" and learn some of the rules about iWeb, Homepage and your iDisk.
    Changing your URL's is the easy part. Getting all the external parts to work is, well, work.
    Plenty of ways to integrate older pages (via external links) into your new iWeb pages.
    The brave can edit the html code to make their own iWeb and Homepage Sites:

  • Re-Publishing an iWeb site with GoDaddy

    I am having a very frustrating issue when a attempt to re-upload my already made iWeb site onto a domain that I am paying for through GoDaddy. I started the site two years ago with a two year plan for hosting on GoDaddy. Everything was fine for those 2 years. Then, just recently those 2 years ran up and the web page went blank. So I payed more through GoDaddy to extend my hosting plan for 3 more years. Through doing this, GoDaddy gave me a new web hosting username and password that they told me to put in iWeb when i launch the site. So I went back to iWeb and when I click the "Publish Site" button, a notification drops down and says that the site cannot be published because the username or password are incorrect. However, it displays the OLD username and there is NOWHERE to change it to the new one that GoDaddy has given me. I have been through every menu I could find in iWeb (I am using the iLife '11 version) and cannot find anywhere to change this username and password. This is extremely frustrating because I am paying for the hosting time even when the site is not running. Please Help!!! THANKS!
