Hi If I cant resolve the issue with the ftp, is there anyway of mass downloading webpages, I have thousands of pages on my website and I want to completely alter the whole design of my site, but I dont want use fileman because it takes too long, I want to download hundreds of pages at a time. Mike

The demo file I posted yesterday at:- http://countjustonce.com/test/kc-obits.html ... was created using a similar data base. The same file is now at:- http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~bristowe/kc-obits.html ... and the spreadsheet layout and a simple means of sorting the data is shown in a table format at:- http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~bristowe/kc-obits-table.html The data finishes up as a .txt file and Server Side Includes (SSI) is used for inserting it into the basic web-page. Hopefully the rest is self-explanatory. Barry

Mike, AFAIK, batch uploads/downloads use a File Transfer Protocol (FTP). The error message you received indicates that software on your computer terminated the connection. Have you checked your AV program settings to make sure your ftp client is an authorized/trusted application? If it is not, your AV program could be interpreting the server's requests for information and attempts to copy files from your computer as an unauthorized intrusion. Find the EXE file for your preferred ftp client and make sure your AV program is allowing it to exchange data and files over the web. If you are not sure how to do that, tell us what AV program you use and someone on the list may know how to configure it. Pat Asher

Didn't Mike say something about a VERY slow connection in his first post about connection problems, or am I getting him confused with another poster? If it was Mike then he has a satellite internet connection. That type connection has some pretty bad bandwidth restrictions. They won't completely cut off your connection but they will throttle it to the point they might as well. E-mail is about all it's good for at that point. The further downside is that it's throttled for a month. I know this because we had a connection like this for a short time. Mike, If you know someone that has a better connection I would try on their connection to connect and download your site. I'm wondering if it isn't your speed that is causing the issues.

The same "code" is available in any tutorial. It is not plagiarism to copy code. He isn't copying "work" -- e.g. the obituaries (and even that "work" gets picked up as blubs on all kinds of websites that do 'copy work'). If anyone "owns" anchor tags, br tags, or table tags, then we're all in trouble. <wink> Scripts are also freely available online. Some ask for a <! Comment tag identifying an "author" and many other scripts are free use with no attribution requirement.

A basic HTML page comprises at least the following (excluding the <code> tags):- <!--code> <!doctype html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title></title> </head> <body> </body> </html> <code--> Word processors of any type are not suitable for creating HTML mark-up. If you are using a Windows operating system, you will have Notepad installed on your computer, and it is best practice to use it or a free Text Editor with extra features such as Araneae:- http://www.ornj.net/araneae/ Using your text editor, open a new page and then Copy & Paste the code for the basic page into it and save in your web-pages folder as !HTML.html. That name will ensure it sits at or near the top of your web-page files. Now find the !HTML.html file using Windows Explorer and right click on it, then select Properties and check the "read only" box, then OK. You now have a basic HTML file to start a web-page with, but you will need to save any new work with its own filename. A demonstration file providing the basic features you want for your Obituaries page is at:- http://countjustonce.com/test/kc-obits.html It has a few paragraphs from the Saskatchewan site added to it for realism. You can select "View the Source" in your browser, Ctrl-A (select the whole page), Ctrl-C (copy the selected text), open a blank page in your Text Editor and Ctrl-V (Paste the clipboard contents into the Text Editor page). Now save the page as - yourfilename.html in your web-page folder. The page mentioned has some styles in its head, and you should ask on the list for clarification about what they do. Barry
Dan In sense this is a bit of a recurring theme on this help list and is about converting a database to simple HTML. I often do this using Excel (or other spreadsheet software such as OpenOffice Calc). The link below is to a shell Excel file that will generate simple HTML to achieve a list together with links to the beginning of each group of obituaries beginning with the same letter. The spreadsheet formula works out when to put in the "name" tag and heading. To use it, download the link. Copy your data into the cells in column "A" on the "body" sheet. Copy down the formula in column "B". Open you text or HTML editor and copy and paste as text the data in the following sequence. Firstly copy cells "C2:C37" on sheet "top and tail" paste as text into the text document. Then copy the cells in column "B" of the "body" sheet starting "B2" to the end of your data. Paste as text into your text document. Lastly copy the cells "D2:D3" from the "top and tail" sheet and paste as text at the end of the text document. Save the file as .HTM or .HTML. Then copy to your website. http://members.iinet.net.au/~nickred/wordmacro/obits.xlsx Regards Nick My Sites My home <http://members.iinet.net.au/%7Enickred/> My newspaper extracts <http://members.iinet.net.au/%7Enickred/newspaper/index.html> Registry of Deeds Index Project <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/%7Eregistryofdeeds/index.html> Managed Sites Irish Genealogical Research Society <http://www.igrsoc.org/index.htm> Majura tennis Club <http://members.iinet.net.au/%7Enickred/majuratennis/> On 16/10/2012 6:00 PM, freepages-help-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > Help building an obituary web page

If I might make a suggestion - Don't include the entire digest version in your replies. Also change the subject line to reflect the portion of the digest your replying to. It's considered rather bad form to quote the whole digest.

But. On occasion I have had used Libre Office and it does a reasonable job of exporting to HTML. Not as well as using a dedicated editor of course. But, better than any other word processor that I know of. If someone really had need to use a word processor I would suggest that one. -- “The only difference between death and taxes is that death doesn't get worse every time Congress meets.” — Will Rogers _ _... ..._ _ _._ ._ ..... ._.. ... .._

Error=0x80043112 The key is the line in your session log that says: "An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine." 1) Set up your connection for PASSIVE transfers. That puts your machine in charge of the connection. 2) Check your security settings in your AV software and/or any malware programs you may be running. You must authorize your FTP client to exchange data with the server. Pat Asher
