Hi Julie
I also use FH and played around with generating HTML files and know exactly what you mean.
There is a facility in FH to upload to your website directly using the FH FTP (File Transfer Protocol). Try doing it with that, giving the correct address for your website. You can't do it with that number of files using RC's FTP.

I think she can do it direct from Family Historian 3 Trystan.

Hi Gadget,
In FH it only gives advice about using your own internet provider for free web space or use an FTP client.
I've also registered for free web space with Wanadoo, and normally they are able to deal with zipped files, but apparently they're having technical problems at the moment. There should be an option to upload zipped files, and it isn't there 
I'm trying to follow the tutorial for Smartsave, but it goes too fast, before I can write it down!

Hi Julie
What version of FH are you using? I have to go out for about half an hour but I'll check through mine again. I didn't have any problem with zipped files. When I checked mine for looks (publish to desk top) I just clicked on the index file and away it went. Can you do this? How can you view what you want to upload at the moment?
Once you've got the unzip problem solved, you can use any of the progs that Trystan mentioned or the ones recommended by FH.
PM me if you like.

Hi Julie
I've just done a test on one of my sample trees and put it through the FH wizard. I named it 'Test'.
When I go to the location that I specified, I have a folder called 'Test'. This contains the index file and a large number of other files. The folder was not zipped - just standard folder. The image below shows what it contains.

Hi Gadget,
I am using version 3. I created my files, and then I copied them into a zipped file, so I can access them either way  Yes I can view the web pages individually - the zipped file isn't a problem per se - just how to upload all of the files the easiest way 
I've got Smartsave on the job now.  I've just managed to get the Window to display the same as the tutorial!! - I needed to change to Auto layout and then put local folders on the left and remote folders on the right! So I've got my connection open, and I've found my website [normal not zipped] files and I've clicked on 'upload' and cross my fingers  The files have taken about 10 minutes to upload and I think its done! - I'll have a look at my website now - [pause] - wow! its there! Only problem is my little jpeg logo at the top of the page isn't there - just a red cross, and I did reduce the size as advised by FH. I'll figure that one out.
Thank goodness for that - I was beginning to feel I was thick or something! So do I just up-load again, when I want to update the details [which is regularly] will it over-write? or do I have to delete it all first?
Many many thanks for your help. What a brill forum this is!
Cheers, Julie

Very pleased Julie. So the Zip was a red herring What is your website url? S I can be nosey Just noticed your 'globe' - it's looking good and you've got your logo up
You don't have to upload everything again - just the files you are changing.
Bob has got a very good tutorial on this board. it's worth reading all the queries that have gone before.
One thing to remember also: have copies of your ws files on hard disk and a copy on removable storage - better safe than sorry

Well done! Many of us with rootschat webspace sites were novices and completely lost when we started, and now we dish out the advice (sometimes) - if it's scary we leave it to Berlin-Bob or Trystan!
Bob has got a very good tutorial on this board. it's worth reading all the queries that have gone before.
Good advice from Gadget.
Welcome to the RootsChat website club - good luck with your new venture.

Hi Julie not sure - I expect Bob or Trystan or Falkyrn will know. I get in both ways fine
I'm having great fun with FH 3. I'm splitting my tree into 7 (for each great grandparent), then generating separate HTML files from these. Then I'm importing these into my Net Objects Fusion generated site as great *4 grandchildren pages. I expect I'll get it finished by Christmas

Hi Gadget
The problem is solved. My contact got into my website using
http://pilkingtonfamily.rootschat.net/index.html !!
In FH3 why are you splitting your files to create separate websites? You can select who to use in your website by using a query in the Website wizard. I created one called 'Descendants' to use for one particular branch. The filters were 'add if a Descendant of X inc. spouses [max 5 generations] , add if an ancestor in the current result set inc. spouses [max 1 generation] , and add if a descendant in the current result set inc. spouses [max 6 generations]
That meant I'd got X plus 5 generations of his descendants, and all their parents, plus 6 generations of descendants from everyone which includes all siblings and their spouses too.
I think Family Historian is a brilliant program, and the support group is excellent too. Do you follow the mailing group? I have got 6,413 individuals on my database. God knows how I'd manage without it!!
For now,
Julie

I'm doing that Julie (that's how FH splits) - and generating seperate HTML pages/folders/websites - and then linking them to each set of greats in NOF because the tree(s) are only a minor part of my ws - I want the stories and photos to predominate
Family Historian is the best tree program that I've come across and it's not that expensive.
