Uploading with other FTP programs failed

[FredS]

Hi,
Still extremely impressed by Antenna, what a nice program.

But......Uploading to my server is no problem within Antenna. As soon I build it to my HD and upload it via FTP Smart or Leech FTP or whatever, I am getting broke links and images do not appear anymore, can somebody help me, or do you have the same problems.

My pages even work locally on my harddisk ... did you really upload html-pages or the .ata file?

Hi FredS,

Rampy's advice is good. After you've Exported your site to a folder on your hard drive, check it's working OK locally before you upload it.

Also make sure you're publishing to the correct folder with your other FTP software. Some hosts require you to publish your pages to a remote subfolder (e.g. /public_html).

Cheers,

Thanks for your reply, Ok guys, ofcourse it works on my HD. I am not a novice, uploaded thousands of websites since 15 years. I dont understand it, use Lycos, (my own dedicated server) never had problems and I just cannot solve it.
I need to do it thrue a FTP program because we encrypt some of the files against theft. The files I tried to upload where not encrypted, just produced by Antenna.

Maybe someone can help

thanks

Hi FredS,

In theory if the site works on your hard drive then it should also work wherever it is published.

Please can you post the address of the published web site - perhaps I'll be able to spot the problem by looking at the uploaded pages. (If you don't want to post the address on the forum you can email it to me via the contact form on http://www.stormdance.net).

Cheers,

Something else just occurred to me. Very occasionally I've encountered a web server that doesn't like spaces in filenames. Since you have your own dedicated server this seems unlikely, but it might be worth checking...

Then again you said everything was fine when you uploaded the site using Antenna - in which case it must be something else...

Those 3rd party FTP programs you are using - they're not changing the case of the filenames during the upload for some reason? Thankfully Windows filenames are not case sensitive, but many Unix web servers are case sensitive and treat 'Index.htm' as a completely different file to 'index.htm'.

Yes, I found the problem, good idea, it seems the problem with the UNIX server, there case sensitive, and one of my developers used serveral capitals in the html names. (which we normally dont do) Interesting is that Uploading via Antenna changes all capitals in undercast and then the problem does not appear.

Thanks
