MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / October 2006Saved 'Index_files' as other pages but they don't download on website
My website has 11 pages and i have succesfully uploaded through Publisher 2003 and saved as 'Index.htm'. I saved the other pages in hard drive and copied them to the "index_files' that was created automatically by Publisher in my FTP folder. All of these pages I have saved in the format -- page824.htm--but when I visit my site these pages do not download but an error message appears. I know these other pages should be in 'index_files' but how do i save them there? my site address is http://www.yourmotivation.co.za/ Use Publish to the Web, not Save As a web page, to produce your website html files. By default you will get an index.htm file and an index_files folder that contain your additional pages and supporting graphics and images. You upload both the index.htm file and the index_files folder to your webhost. You don't add pages manually to the index_files folder...it already contains them. You can see this for yourself if you Publish to the Web and opt to publish your files to somewhere on your hard drive where you can open and inspect the index_files folder. Delete the old files off your server and upload fresh. DavidF > My website has 11 pages and i have succesfully uploaded through Publisher > 2003 and saved as 'Index.htm'.

I get worried because the computer hangs when I save to the FTP folder, its when then that I assume I have to upload the other files manually. I'm sure I have to allow more time saving.

This can appear as you computer hanging while all those files upload. However, its possible that you have a "permissions" issue at your webhost, which chokes when you try to upload the index_files folder. Some webhosts don't allow the creation of subdirectories and subfolders by default. If that is what is going on, then check with you webhost and ask them if your webspace is set so that you can upload both the index.htm file, plus the index_files folder?
