Faster html edit...

[dtsclothing]

Is it possible to alter a html page without compleately re-uploading an
entire new published document to the server? Is this just a case of a better
ftp?

Probably possible but not practical.

My site has 41 files and replacing them with one or more updated files is
simply gather all the files with the mouse and moving from one pane to
another pane in the ftp. It is easier to replace all 41 files than editing
a single file, rearranging the html coding.

An excellent ftp is FileZilla, version 2.2.32 - available at

Incremental uploading of just the parts of your website that have changed
does not work with FTP uploading. You have to use HTTP uploading protocol
and have FPSE working on your site in order to get the incremental uploading
feature in Publisher to work. With that said, if you make only a text change
on a page, and don't add or move any of the images, or change the layout
substantially, you can upload just the .htm file for that page that has your
changes.

Don,

The site I do for my church has 750 files, not counting some scripts and
a couple of other folders. Forty-one files or 41 pages? I have two weeks
of my paper in a web file and it has 39 files that are uploaded if I do
a full upload.

Mike,

I wasn't counting the supporting folders on the site; as with you there are
folders that contain newsletters, meeting minutes, informational documents
that go back to 1995. The question proposed was regarding updating the
website files, html and images. Just today I updated just page 2 and
replaced it. A check visit revealed no problems; I'm not usually that
lucky.

I think I'll be uploading the whole site everytime I update, seems less
complicated...on anather note filezilla seems to run very well, Thanks!!
