Hi, I am totally new at uploading files. At the moment, I am evaluating WS_FTP Pro from Ipswitch. Finally, I have made progress. I can get connected to the server. But then I get the following message. Transfer Ware Vital Records Index.htm from <local> failed 550 Ware Vital Records Index.htm: Permission denied on server. [Filename [accept]] I know I am using the correct user name and password. I copy and paste those each time. I am fairly sure the problem is arising because my account name. I am not sure what to use. I have tried using "http://www.rootsweb.com/~mawarevr/"<filename> minus of course the part that says "<file name>" but have included the rest of the file name. I have tried it without the ~ in it but then I get disconnected from the server without even getting connected. I have looked at the archives for the list and have found other people have had the exact same problem but I couldn't quite understand the solution. I used Netscape Composer to set up the data. But, the data that is saved on a floppy via my A: drive. Would someone please help me. Please, use simple terms in your explanation. I would really like to get this data loaded before my month trial is up with Ipswitch. Thanks Marla blarson@ubtanet.com

Brent - Since the message references a problem with the filename - I think the problem is that the Rootsweb server does not allow filenames with spaces. It looks as if the filename you are trying to upload is Ware Vital Records Index.htm. Try changing the name to WareVitalRecordsIndex.htm and see if you can upload it. Also - remember that the Rootsweb servers are case sensitive - so any links to this file will have to exactly match the file name. Hope this helps!
