FTP Troubles

[David Bartosik - MS MVP]

If you are using version 2002 it does not default to index. Versions 2002
and 2003 name the home page according to what you enter for a file name when
uploading. Version 2003 defaults to index.
I recommend you go thru the upload tutorial at [url]www.davidbartosik.com/ppt.hm[/url]
and also look over refer to

Don't know why they don't still have it. And their directions to load from
within Publisher always freeze the program on me. (No, no viruses or
anything)

I have gone through the same problems. Took a long time to figure i
out. When Publisher 2003 saves your publication, it does so through th
"publish to web" button. You should save it to a folder calle
"index_file". The result will show a folder called "index_file" as wel
as a file called "index" with an IE icon attached. On uploading throug
your ftp program, you must not just download the files in th
Index_file folder - instead upload the entire "index_file" folder plu
the file "index". If you upload just the files in the "index_file
folder, it won't work. Even if you also upoad the "index" file. Yo
must include the "index_file" folder. Don't ask me why. But it works

You need to read
[url]http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=324[/url]
I recommend using Pub for uploading, not a 3rd party ftp.

If anyone can make things difficult, it's Microsoft. Especially whe
they try to explain procedures. I use an outside ftp server - and it'
free! Called "ftpCommander". Easy to understand and works like a charm
I guess using Pub for uploading works well - once you understand how t
use it properly. And that's the rub
