Can't upload to my new webspace
« on: Wednesday 08 December 04 22:25 GMT (UK) »

I've just signed up for my free web space - but I can't upload anything!  Help!

I'm using a Mac and RBrowserLite FTP software.
When I open RBrowser I get the choice of Public FTP (which is anonymous and I get to see the Mail and Pub folders) so I choose FTP.
Then it asks for Host/URL so  type in brendas-roots.rootschat.net
Then it wants Username so I type in my regular Rootschat username, brendap
Then it asks for the password which I type in correctly
Then I click the button to log in and I get this error:

brendas-roots.rootschat.net:
Failed to connect to brendas-roots.rootschat.net:
530 Authentication failed, sorry

Help!  what am I doing wrong?  I regularly use RBrowser for uploading to another site and don't have this problem.

Brenda,

I'm glad you asked the question becasue it will help a lot of people I'm sure.  Grin

Your username for your webspace is the same as your website address, so its:

brendas-roots.rootschat.net

The password is whatever you gave when you signed up with the webspace (it's independant to the password you have for logging on to the 'RootsChat' that you are reading right now)

So you're almost there.  Wink

Thanks trystan - that's got the html files uploaded, but only a few of the graphics.  It seems that the .gif and .jpg files will upload but not the .jpeg files.

So - I've got dozens of .jpegs to rename and a lot of find and replace in the html files     Sad

Oh well, it'll keep me out of mischief for another couple of evenings!

Audrey,

Phew, I've had a good tinker about with your site, it's taken be the good part of an hour, but I've put the kettle on and I'm going to treat myself to a biscuit.

The main problem with your site it appears is because you had cut-and-pasted from your website that was created elsewhere, so a lot of things had been carried over from the other site which was making things look incorrect. That's why all the images for the links weren't working.

I've also moved the links to a seperate heading on their own to make them easier to get to.

To load up images to CMSimple, you need to click the "IMAGES" button (don't use the DOWNLOADS button) To then show images on a page you select the name of the image in the "Images:" dropdown box, and press the little button next to it (it looks like a right-angled-arrow pointing down). I've put in the image Mary_Robert_Sewell_1930.jpg to your page as an example (remove it if you like!).

I've also done a "starting page" for your site, so people can choose to go to either your tree or your home page. Oh and a big "Sewell Family Tree" logo to go with it. Smiley

Your username on the CMSimple site is now shorter as "sewellfamilyhistory" to make it easier to type in.

See how you get on with that, remeber you create new pages by typing in a heading on an existing page, then you highlight it, and click "H1". It will then become a new page with that heading.

Have fun,
Trystan
