web Publishing issues....

[carvid]

I have created my three new web pages in Publisher 2003 and I am trying to
perform an FTP file transfer but am getting an error message that the URL is
not correct or check your internet connection. The strange thing is that the
home page loads to the web site but the two additional pages do not.
Additionally one of the pictures on the home page will not come up. I have
checked with my hosting company and they have checked to ensure the FTP
transfer function is working on their end, all is fine. This is my first time
at creating and publishing a website so any assistance would be greatly
appreciated. Thank you.

Before uploading and with the pub file open check it with File, Web page
preview.

When uploading your files, ensure all of the html and gif (and other
images?) are being uploaded but not the pub file. The pub file needs to be
retained for future editing (page and image replacements).

Also, when asking for help include the version of Publisher and Windows you
are using.

Don, thanks for the information. As a first timer to posting both to the web
and this board, your instructions are a little vague. As I noted in my issue,
I am using Publisher 2003 to design and post my new web pages. My windows
platform is XP Home Edition. The issue remains, why do I get the Error
Message that the files could not be loaded to the web yet my home page
appears on my website (www.carvidsystems.com). Even though the home page is
there, the hyper links to the two additional pages do not work and a picture
is missing on the home page. I have tried posting these pages as both an HTML
and via an FTP but with not luck in either case. An additional question based

You can find most anwsers at http://www.publishermvps.com/
starting with the FAQ - http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=30
You'd want to review the "how to publish" article
http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=33 to make sure you are
following the process correctly.
If you do ths process then Publisher will accurately upload all the html and
image files. If you do this yourself using a thrid party client then you are
responsible to verify you upload all files correctly.
If the site is not uploaded with the correct file dependencies then the site
will have issues (topics covered in the FAQ).
As for your error message, if that is coming from Publisher, I recommend the
following... restart the PC, verify with the host that your upload URL and
login is correct, then after the restart clear the browser cache, then open
Pub and follow my publish article.
