MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / September 2007Publishing Web Page For First Time
I have Pub 2007 on Vista system. I have tried to follow the directions on MS's website. I use the Tools drop down to Map Network Drive, tjem click "Connect to a website..." Use wizard to set up a Custom Network Location Web hosting ISP has given me an address of "ftp.domainname.com" which I enter, although the examples given have "ftp://ftp.domainname.com" as a example When I enter it, it says folder invalid, choose another. Any help?  SignatureSmall Business Owner Surely you do not enter "ftp.domainname.com" did you? domainname.com should be the name of your site. Mike > I have Pub 2007 on Vista system.

The actual doman name that it would take ended up being ftp://ftp.webhero.com I have not idea what that accomplished, but it created a directory and folders. I still cannot publish to the ftp site, I'm missing something. I need some detailed step by step directions, but the website doesn't give them.

RW, Usually, and webhero might be different, but usually, the ftp address you are looking for will be something like: ftp://www.yourdomainname.com/public_html/ The final directory can have an alternate name, such as http_docs, public_docs, etc., but that should be in the literature your web host sent you. Your domain is NOT webhero.com. Well, not unless you are webhero and offering to host web sites. If it has been registered, you should be able to connect to it once you have the correct domain name, user name and password. Again, check the instructions for uploading file that you should have received when you signed up with webhero. Mike > No, of course not, I using that as an example.

No expert here, but according to Webhero.com "they are always on call" you might try, but when I do mine I ftp to domainname.com/mywebsite, not sure how webhero would know what to do with it. > No, of course not, I using that as an example.

I am in the process of writing up some new directions for FTP uploading using IE7. If you would answer a question or two, it would help. I do not have Vista installed so I need to know what you are seeing as you try to upload. After you click Publish to the Web, and the Save in dialog box pops up, you have a "Save in" field at the top of the dialog. Directly below that on the left side my XP shows My Recent Documents, Desktop, My Documents, My Computer, My Network Places. What do you see listed there? If you or anyone that is using IE7 would please post back with the answers, and I will be able to move you a step or two closer to successfully uploading your files. If you are using IE7 and XP, please let me know. If you are using IE7 and Vista, let me know. Also, please specify which version of Publisher you are using. DavidF >I really appreciate your assistance helping me to publish my website for >the [quoted text clipped - 92 lines] >> >> > >> >> > Any help? David, I am sorry, I have not been on here for a few days. I hope this helps you, I am using IE 7.0 and Publisher 2007 on Vista. I ended up using Fling from File Zilla to upload my site and it works well, with only one or two bugs in it. Here are the steps I was trying to follow with Publisher but gave up on: Step I try to follow publishing website to Webhero.com 1. Open website file within Publisher 2007 2. Click on Publish to the Web 3. Publish to the Web Dialogue box pops up a. In the File Name drop down box it is populated with “index” b. Save as, type drop down box says: Web Page, filtered c.

Thanks for the IE and Publisher and OS used, and I got the directions you followed from your previous post. I also wanted answers to this: "After you click Publish to the Web, and the Save in dialog box pops up, you have a "Save in" field at the top of the dialog.

DavidF > David, > [quoted text clipped - 188 lines] >> >> >> > >> >> >> > Any help? David, I don't have a "Save In" area on this pop up page. I can see my folders and by clicking on the folder, designate where the file is saved. Otherwise the drop down list is for "Save As - Type" and another drop down list for "File Name". Other than that I have a Tools button, Save or Cancel. Those are the only options. I don't know if that helps you, but I think this is substantailly different from XP or other versions.

I also wanted answers to this: [quoted text clipped - 198 lines] > >> >> >> > > >> >> >> > Any help? Ok...thanks. I guess I will just have to install a copy of Vista on my test partition so I can see the differences. I really don't want to move from XP for my production work. For now, from what I have read MSFT has changed IE7 so as to not support FTP uploading as in IE6. Until I can figure out a better workaround, I think using FileZilla is the best solution. Another poster, brelade, posted one method that I am going to study, but I actually think using a third party FTP program is probably always going to be a better way to upload Publisher web files, unless one is using a form that is dependent upon FPSE to function. Thanks again for your help. DavidF > David, > [quoted text clipped - 242 lines] >> >> >> >> > >> >> >> >> > Any help? |
