Uploading FP2003

[Peter Barker]

My site was at a location that did not support FP. "Publish Web Site" was
not fully successful. I had to upload from FP2003 by dragging files across
from local to remote.



Now I have a new location, also not supporting FP. As before, I have to
choose the ftp option in Remote Web Site properties. Surprisingly, FP
Publish seems to work. Dragging files and folders across from one side to
the other also seems to work. The folder and file structure on the remote
side seems OK. But when I try to view the remote site in the browser I get
an error 403 message.



The only thing that I can see as maybe not right is the Remote Web Site
Address shown above the Remote Web Site Window. It reads
ftp://homepages.tesco.net/peter.r.barker



I think it should be http://homepages.tesco.net/peter.r.barker



With my other location, although I also uploaded using ftp option, the
address above the Remote Web Site Address always displayed the correct URL.
Maybe this is part of the problem?

I have had plenty advice to get Dreamweaver, but anything else appreciated.
Thanks

Contact your host for the proper ftp location and web name

Sounds like another recommendation for Dreamweaver to me - not helpful
at all Stefan.


I have a similar problem - I had to manually FTP files off a working
server that does not support FP2003 - the FTP feature of FP didn't work
either.

I created an Empty Web using FP2003 (running on an XP SP2 client) on
an IIS 6 server. I then FTP'd the files from the working site to the
local IIS server on our Intranet. When I try and open pages on the site
I get the 403 error. I can open the site fine with FB2003 but preview
or a direct browse gives a 403 error.

The pages use server side includes for navigation.

FP Extensions are installed and SSI is/are enabled.

BTW I did an import of the web using FP2003 but since server sides
includes are used the import step resolved the includes which bunged up
every page. The imported site does work locally but the source is not
usable.

Any file/sharing permissions I can find seem to match between the site
that works and the one that doesn't.

Help!

TIA

You should never use the import command if you have login access to the site on the remote server.
The import command will only give the content that is seen in a browser when viewing the page.

If the site doesn't have the FP extensions, you would open the site on the remote server with a FTP
application and download all content to a folder on your HD, then you would open that folder in FP.

If the site has the FP extensions, you would open the site directly in FP, then you publish the site
down to your computer.
