I am pulling my hair out over this!! My hosting company recommends that I use Filezilla to upload sites. I have created the site in Publisher 2003 (duly designating the first page as index.htm), I have then gone FILE, PUBLISH TO THE WEB, and saved it in in my docs. I then get into my doman holding page through Filezilla OK and copy the files across (I can actually see them OK) - I wait the 24 hours for DNS to do its thing and .......still no web site up.
I have read David Bartosiks powerpoint presentation (doesn't cover 2003) and am going no where with this
Any ideas
The uploading tutorial is for both 2002 and 2003. However if you want 2003
specific I have recently published -
http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=324
But then the these two resources cover publishing directly to the server
which you are not doing.
Fyi, all hosts recommend you use their own upload tool.
It's bunk. Just like when you buy a new car the dealer recommends they do
all service work.
Fyi, after a site upload the changes are immediate, DNS updates are only
applicable to new registrations or nameserver changes. (these things take
24 -72 hours to complete).
You don't state the url for me to take a look at and maybe get a hint of
what you may have done wrong.
I would suggest however that you try the publish with Publisher, doing that
takes the guess work out of knowing if you uploaded all files and did so
properly.
