Using FTP corrupts the extensions and they then need to be fixed or
reinstalled. If you want to use FTP, remove the extensions.

: Thanks to all who responded.
:
: Here's the situation -- it's a LONG story, I'll hit only the high
: points.
:
: I maintain six websites. For several reasons, these sites are hosted
: by three different hosts. Thus, my websites look like this:
:
: HOST #1 has one site.
:
: HOST #2 has three sites.
:
: HOST #3 has two sites.
:
: Using MS FP, the site on Host #1 publishes just fine.
:
: The sites on Host #2 always show the "Unable to find server at
:
http:///mydomain.com" error.
:
: Of the sites on Host #3, one publishes fine, one shows the same error.
:
: Now -- these are personal websites -- family info, photos, hobbies,
: political commentary, and the like. No shopping cart, no scripts, no
: cute little rabbits bouncing around the screen -- just text, images,
: and links.
:
: I do like the FP common borders and common themes.
:
: On ALL the sites, FTP works just fine. And, on all sites, I can open
: the remote site in FP and edit pages on the remote site, including
: creating new pages. For example, after trying and trying to publish
: from my computer on one site, I:
: -- FTP'ed two images to the appropriate folder on the remote site;
: -- opened the remote site in FP, created a new page, added text and
: links to the images and saved the new page.
: -- the new page appeared on my site just as I wanted it.
:
: However, when I edit the remote site using FP, it seems as though I
: cannot make changes to the shared borders.
:
: So -- my question is this: Because my sites are only text, photos,
: and links, should I even worry about the fact that I cannot publish --
: should I just go ahead and FTP or edit on the remote site and forget
: about tearing my hair out because of a failure to publish?
:
: Thanks.
