| 58282 | 2002-06-29 11:20:00 | Yes.... It is a 'family' site - to keep my farflung sons in touch with home. Oone of the photos is 'missing', I'll fix that tomorrow. http://www.mrsmac.orcon.net.nz Good night to all. :x |

| 58283 | 2002-06-29 11:30:00 | Re missing photo. There could be 2 causes: 1. You failed to upload it (incidentally, you can upload more than one file at a time. Click the first file, hold down the shift key, then click the last file. I left this out earlier to avoid confusion) 2. case sensitivity. UPPER CASE letters on the web are quite different from lower case letters so image1.Jpg does not equal image1.jpg 3. File misnamed. Glad we were able to help, Heather |

| 58284 | 2002-06-29 22:45:00 | After a good night's sleep... Remember the start up tag in WS_FTP and how I said to ignore it? This feature allows you to start the program in a specific directory. I said ignore it cause ihug have a folder called /public_html and I didn't know what folders your ISP had. Sure enough, your ISP had a different name for the folder - "htdocs". If you type into the startup tag "/htdocs" the program will open in that directory rather than the root. It's an optional feature to use if you wish. Heather |

| 58285 | 2002-06-29 23:36:00 | Ah.. thanks for that. And today I do some repair work to various photos get them in, get better looks. Some of them are a bit dark. It has all been an interesting exercise - vastly different from my day-to-day employment! Again, many thanks to all who commented/helped. :) |

| 58286 | 2002-06-30 00:16:00 | I remember that site, we helped with the uploading of the photos on the old forum :-) Good work MrsMac! Heather's tip regarding setting the starting folder is handy, I didn't know that one (have only been using FTP a couple of weeks myself actually ;-)). I found that you will have to put in the following: /mrsmac.orcon.net.nz/htdocs for it to work though. If you're not sure where this feature is, when you click 'connect' you get the Session Properties dialogue box and it's under the Startup tab. Makes the process a little quicker. Thanks Heather! |

| 58287 | 2002-06-30 03:41:00 | Susan, the problem is absolute v relative directories. If "/htdocs" doesn't work, try just "htdocs" Heather |

| 58288 | 2002-06-30 03:48:00 | Heather: tried that and it doesn't work for me :-( Not a problem as the other path works OK. Must be unique to this particular website maybe? |

| 58289 | 2002-06-30 04:05:00 | My assumption was that they have set directories us as follows: [root]\ htdocs logs where you can't go back past your root. Open the program, go over to the remote window (where files are listed) and click the green up arrow a few times until it stops going up the directories. If it goes up and you start to see other folders then that explains it. /htdocs means go back to root (as far up the tree as you can go) and open the folder htdocs from there. It only works if htdocs is in the root directory. Basically, if you've found a way to make it work - it works so go for it. |

| 58290 | 2002-06-30 04:47:00 | Hi. An easier way to set the default directories... connect to the site, open the local and remote folders that you'd like to start with, click Options | Save Current Folders as Connection Folders. Done. Saved settings only apply to that particular site, so you can have different defaults for every FTP site you go to, which is cool. | Greg S (201) | ||
