Subfolder and/or subfolder contents don't get deleted from website after upload

[rodziewicz1]

Using FP2000 I have several subfolders such as mydomain/subfolder. One
subfolder is "images" and others contain web pages. If I delete
any "subfolder" on my local web and upload, "subfolder" does
not get deleted from remote web. Similarly if I delete pages (or
images) from within the subfolders these also do not get deleted from
the web. The result is that my local web is considerably out of sync
with the remote one.

1) Apart from manually deleted these lingering files from the remote
web is there an automated way of doing this from within the FP upload
system or is that how it is supposed to be. I am hoping members can
tell me there is a fix to this problem!

2) If it is supposed to be this way, is there an easy way of clearing
the remote web and re-uploading all the files so that local and remote
webs are in sync?

3) This next point could be related. When changing and saving, say, 30
pages in the root of my local web and uploading, sometimes I notice in
the progress bar that not all pages are uploaded. I then have to make
a new change and save and upload again to ensure the pages are
uploaded.

I have 371 pages in my web - is that too much for FP2000 or can FP
cope easily with this number?

Open the live site in FP and publish back to your local machine, then check those folders and
delete, the re-publish. You can not delete the images folder that is in the root web or a subweb /
subsite.

Yes you can
jus bugging you Thomas

Ok, yes you can delete the images folder in a root or sub web / site, however if you run a check on
the extensions, FP will recreate the folder.

1) If I remember correctly, FP2000 had a quirk when deleting files and
folders.
If you delete a folder from the local web, then published Changed Pages, the
corresponding folder on the server would be left intact. However, if you
deleted the contents of the folder, leaving the folder itself in place, then
the contents of the folder on the server would be deleted on publishing.

I've always had that problem, even now. Empty or not, it has to be removed
manually. (unless you re-publish using *all*).

 

[Wes]

Oops, wrong thread.

Yes.

Many thanks to all for help.

As mentioned in original query I have 371 pages - is there a limit to
the amount of pages that FP2000 and now FP2003 can handle or is there
no upper limit?

There's no limit providing you divide your web into folders / subdirectories.

In theory the only limit is disc space.
In practice the limit depends on the system - processors, RAM, other
applications running, other websites on the same server .... The limit
varies from a few pages (in "bad" systems) to many thousands, the limit
usually shows itself as problems while publishing.

If the site is divided into subwebs, each subweb is treated as a separate
entity, thus the limit (if any) can be extended indefinitely.
