Thanks. In a roundabout way, it worked--and well. Is there a way to alter
the
page that acknowledges a form submission? Right now it's doing it for me,
automatically, on a page I didn't create.
:
If you have Publisher's sub-folder option on then it will write an
index_files folder. Do you have that option on or off?
the private folder indicates that FrontPage extensions are installed. As
documented on
http://www.publishermvps.com - you need them if you want to
use
a form page and/or use HTTP for publishing. Using FTP when FP extensions
are
installed is poor practice, it typically results in corrupting the
extensions. Meaning the host has to reinstall them. The webmaster need to
pick one protocal (http or ftp) only. And only use that. Period. No back
and
forth.
An images folder is not created by Publisher. It is however created by
FrontPage. Did you previously upload a FrontPage site? Or otherwise did
you
manually create that folder? Publisher does not use an images folder.
Don't know why you are looking for a public folder?
I suggest you blow everything away and then decide on your protocol to
use.
If you decide on http then have the host reinstall the extenions. Then do
a
fresh publish using my directions.

Thanks David. There is no "index_files." Only _private and images
folders (no
public folder, even), as well as some loose files that include
index.html and
index.htm. Tried deleting those before saving once, and that didn't
help.
Some background: I've had the site up for about a day now and have
replaced
the files many times in FTP. This was, however, my first attempt to
save the
files in HTTP.
:
Sounds like a server permissions issue.
Is this the first time you replaced the site files?
I assume the sub-folder there now is called index_files? Try turning
off the
sub-folder option to publish. Or optionally go into your hosts
control panel
file manager and delete the sub-folder before you publish.
If it is a case of Publisher not being able to write a new
index_files
sub-folder then contact your host support about modifying the "write"
permissions.

Despite the nice and easy directions at publishermvps.com, I cannot
get my
site to publish to http instead of ftp. I originally wanted to do
this so
that my forms would publish properly. My FPSE are installed and
working.
When
'Publish to Web' and 'Save As'
http://www.mydomain.com and enter
the login
and then try to save over my previous index, it gives me the
following
error:
"The folder that this web page would use to organize supporting
files is
already reserved for use in the current location. Please choose a
different
name or location for this web page."
Seems I'm stuck one step away from success. Any ideas?
