Earthlink can't upload in http

[CWhit]

I am ready to take my web site off its test location at netfirms and install
it on our earthlink web server. I have all the info I need from you guys --
I think -- but the earthlink techs say the upload must be done in ftp. I
insist that it can't be because of FPSE and possible corruption of files,
particularly all-important forms. They simply say that http is for browing
web sites only, not for uploading. I quoted them David Bartosik's clear
instructions in that regard, and finally they gave up and saic call our 1-800
number -- we can't address that issue. Has anyone run into this before? I'm
tempted to simply go ahead and try to upload out of Publisher according to
the very simple instructions. I'd prefer not having to talk to a perfectly
nice and sincere person who is impossible to understand, so I'm delaying the
phone call. But I'm going to have dinner and see if my Publisher gurus have
a thought or two first. Thanks

You won't explode the internet by trying you know!

FP admin is extremely misunderstood by a lot of hosts.

IF your site truly has FPSE installed ( AND working) you should be able to
Publish via the http method. TRY it FIRST - before resorting to ftp, because
ftp WILL corrupt the extensions.

Good luck!...and post the URL so we can see it. If it doesn't
work...welp...it's time for a new host.

Thanks. I think I'll avoid the phone call and just try to publish in http.
I have checked and the FPSE are installed on the site. If I'm forced to use
ftp, I'll ask the host to re-install the FSPE and hope they know what they
are doing. Thanks and I'll furnish the URL to you as soon as (or if) I get
the new pages up there tonight or tomorrow.

To David F, David B and Rob, thanks a million. The site is up and running on
earthlink and looks great. Forms work, links all work, images all load, but
how could I have failed with all the support I've gotten from you guys since
about April 1. Uploaded in http with not one snag. Saved the old site in a
folder in network places and have three backups of everything outside the
computer on CD. (I don't trust computers, so I save everything on outside
media). The URL is http://www.burdin-adr.com. Pay me a visit. And thanks
again -- you people are great.
