Very new to this (first attempt at creating own site). Created simple (with images) 4 pge site in Publisher and uploaded following all instructions and have a few problems (probably something really simple I am doing wrong);

1.) Only the home page appears and I get the error code HTTP 404 when I try and click through to other pages. I have checked the navigation I set in publisher and all works fine when I open the .htm file in my documents.
2.) When I open in Explorer the images don't appear on the home page - used jpg's from clip art that I have changed the colours on.
3.) In Firefox - all the formatting/colour is lost and I only see text.

Also as an aside, could you advise what size the pages need to be set at. I notice I have a slight blank section on the right hand side so if I can get the precise size I can set it when I create. I used a web page template in publisher.

I have uploaded in both ASCII and Binary. I noticed that when publishers puts in into .htm, it creates it as a Firefox file, if that may have anything to do with it.

Help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

what version of WISE-FTP are you using exactely? You find this info under Help -> About. What OS are you using?

Then let`s see step by step whether we can upload your homepage

"Error message "Error 404"

- Your startup document is not index.html or not every letter of the file name is in lower case.

- You have saved your website or start file index.html in a sub-directory. Move the file to your webserver's root directory. In most cases, this is the uppermost directory on the
FTP server appears as "/".

When trying to upload now, does your website appear correctly now?

Images are not displayed correctly

How did you implement the images to your website? Did you work with a graphic program to change colour of your image? Are the images displayed correctly in other browsers than Firefox?

Best regards,

Hi many thanks for coming back,

My file has the .htm extension (rather than .html) as this is what Publishers put it in when I hit 'publish to web'. I realised I was putting the single file rather than the whole folder in the directory, but now I have done that, I can see that it is uploading loads of files, but I am still getting the same view, i.e. can only see home page and not others with error 404. Have checked all lower case and in right place.

I am using WISE-FTP 6 and my operating system is Vista.

As to the images - I changed them in Microsoft Picture Manager and saved them as jpegs.
Its' explorer that I can;t see the images in. In Firefox all the formatting is lost and it only shows pure text let along images.

Please help!
Thanks,
