MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / February 2007Cannont Upload Publisher 3-Page Web Site
I am trying to create a simple three page web site, but have been unable to upload the files to display correctly at my Comcast site. When I try to Publish to the Web directly with File/Publish to the Web option the URL is not found. I cannot figure out why the URL will not come up and allow me to save to a directory. I also tried Publish to the Web by saving the .htm/.html files to my desktop, then uploading to the Comcast site via their web page utility, but I can only upload the first page which display limited as I do not know how to upload the other folder with the pictures and other pages, Comcast will only allow one file at a time to be uploaded. Help/advise appreciated. Bill Bill, There are three articles here about uploading. If you aren't using a form, then the FTP uploading protocol is probably the easiest, as it does not require the use of FPSE. Read here: http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/archive/category/1921.aspx Also you might want to just skip that and download and use a dedicated ftp client, such as Filezilla, which is available for free: http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/ It would be a pain, but you could create a subfolder called index_files on your site, and then upload each of the files one by one. Or, you could choose to not use the subfolder option and then you could also just upload each file. Look under Tools > Options > Web tab and uncheck "Organize supporting files...", and while you are there, uncheck 'Rely on VML...", and "Allow PNG...", which will help lighten your html output and improve the loading time of your pages.

I'll play around and take a look at Filezilla and the loading options you noted. Appreciate the help. Best regards, Bill Bill, There are three articles here about uploading.

Bill i dont know if it helps or not but i had been having trouble uploading my site too, and the reason was because my hosting site didnt allow me to upload files to my root directory (/ ) i had to upload to the /public_html and i was getting so annoyed, also once i had figured it out i had another problem that the host site required the index files themselves to be in the same directory as the index.htm itself rather than in another folder, but the index page itself required the files to also be in an index_files folder - was a massive nuisance but it was something quite simple - hope it helps > Thanks for posting back.

It might be html_public, httpdocs, http_public, but the same idea. > the host site required the index files themselves to be in the same directory > as the index.htm itself rather than in another folder, This is odd. Are you sure you understood the instructions correctly? Mike
