Using iWeb to upload website

[ualsirk]

Sorry for the previous Chinese enquiry...


I just have made a website using iWeb by Mac but I found that I cannot upload the whole website by simply clicking "publish site" and another problem arises:

I tried to move the folder under "public_html", it failed,
then i deleted the folder of "public_html". is there any ways to recover the folder so that i can do everything over?

or should i ask the administrators to reactivate my account?

Iweb...

I have a client that uses Iweb, The easiest way to deal with this is to publish to a folder on your computer, this folder will now contain all your needed files.
using an ftp program or your file manager, upload all files into your public_html folder, exactly as they are IN your folder., this means make sure you are above the public_html folder in your computer..

IE: my new web site
-public_html
- index_htm
-images
-menu_htm
these files fo INTO your public_html folder.
You should be able to recreate it, but you will be missing some items in there, so have your host reset your account.
If you need to update or change using I web, repete the above, Iweb is really good if you get your hosting on macs hosting system...
It is a pain anywhere else!

We used the following work-around.

• Log-in as User
• Choose FTP Management
• Create FTP account
• Username : [email protected] (we use iweb to make it clear to us and customer, however use what is suitable to you)
• Choose or enter password
• Use custom ftp and make a default Iweb path, e.g. /home/username/domains/domain.tld/public_html/
• Save account

What happened? We have create a separate FTP user account which point to ../public_html instead of the default folder one map below public_html.

Iweb will not know the difference and will place all files directly under public_html.
Only thing is that Iweb makes a own 'root' folder, therefore the url could end up like this: www.domain.tld/iwebrootfolder/index.html.

But it works most of the time.
