Difference between FTP and FP PUBLISH

[Every Man]

I maintain four websites. Nothing special:

-- my subdivision's homeowner's association site
-- personal website
-- website for our local astronomy club
-- my own site for political commentary


These sites, because of their nature, require very little updating. In
fact, it's been three months since I changed anything on any of the
sites.

When I try to PUBLISH on any of the four sites I get the CAN'T FIND A
SERVER ON PORT 80 error -- or words to that effect.

I have tried, on each website: refresh FP extensions; remove and
reinstall FP extensions; had host tech support remove and reinstall FP
extensions. No change.

However, when I use FileZilla to FTP the changed pages to the
respective sites, no problem -- FTP goes smoothly, changed pages show
up in the browser.

Will I screw up anything using FTP?

I do not use hit counter. The only FP-unique things I use are theme
and search page.

Thank you for your assistance.

Use of FTP on a FP SE site corrupts the FP SE
- that is why you can't publish using FP
Have your host run a repair/health check on the FP SE on your sites that you have FTP'd to
Then try opening each online site in FP using File open site and enter the url as http://www.yousitedomain.com/
