What folders and files have to be on the web server so that I may upload to them? Step by step instructions would be very helpful. This is my first time creating a web site. I will be using the web files and web page within Weather Display.
Are you referring to the template (has a README.DOC file in the zipped file) or a the basic WD webpage (step by step in the FAQ section)?
Using the basic web site. These are the error messages.

Hi
550 access is denied - your host is rejecting transfers!
Some hosts don’t like passive mode - I don’t use that for my host - so to start with, what you could try is unticking the “use passive mode” box in the connections tab in the FTP/internet setup and see if that makes a difference?
cheers
I’ve contacted my web hosting company ( A Plus.net) they are telling me it is a problem with the ftp software? Has anyone else had any problems with their ftp software which is intergrated with WD ?
Does anyone have any ideas …where the problem may be.
I have try many differant paths to upload the files and keep getting no such file or directory
thats typical of a web hosting to blame the FTP software
acrtualy, the problem is you have your remote directory set wrong
i.e, see here
200 Type set to I
CWD html
550 html: No such file or directory
141: 550 html: No such file or directory
and so you are not in the correct directory
you need to set the correct remote directory in the connections setup,and your ISP should be able to tell you what that is
that is a commen mistake/problem, not getting the remote directory set correctly
Use a regular FTP program and see where you end up when you log in. You might already be in the correct directory.
If you don’t know how or need help, say so and someone can use an ftp program to look for you.
Whatever you are landing in, there is no html directory at that level…
CWD html [color=Red]550 html: No such file or directory[/color]
John had me log into his box using GoToMyPC and its most likely a good thing because the problem was very confusing. He could loging, but as soon as he sent a file… nada… receiving files however worked.
While not 100% yet, I think he has a firewall issue.
I could access his ftp server without any issues. Yet I could not access one of my own ftp servers using his account for transfer.
Ok, thanks to Kevin he discovered that I had a firewall issue. Which was easy to correct by just creating a new rule in the ISA server.
Now all the files are being uploaded to the web server, but they aren’t being displayed on the web site. If create a file named “index.html” all I get is a blank page? “http://www.portdepositmd.com”
So I deleted the “index.html” file. What am I missing?
… the start page for your weather stuff is not index.html…
I can’t remember what yours is… … dumb… I have the ftp info still… I’ll look.
You now have an index.html with
<html>
<head><title>Redirect</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=myweather.html">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html
BTW I tried an index.php first, but your box doesn’t support PHP. Perhaps ASP would work.
Many Thanks to all those whom helped to resolve my ftp problem…And a special thanks to Kevin…
