    1. [ROOTSWEB-HELP] MS Expression Web, connection question
    2. Crandall Family
    3. I have just upgraded from an old version of frontpage to the latest version of MS Expression Web Everything is working well, except I am having problems with the setting that I need to upload pages to rootsweb. The information that Expression seems to need, does not correspond with what I needed for frontpage 98 For an FTP transfer from Expression I need a "Remote Web site location" that they have starting with ftp:// They also ask for "FTP directory" I used to use a hostname/address & port of homepages.rootsweb.com on part 21 and a remote starting directory public_html but when I tried these on the new Expression pages, it didn't work. Any suggestions? Many thanks Mary

I can send you a screen shot if it will help but i use as the remote directory ftp://users.rootsweb.com so I will assume that where I have users, you should use homepages my remote starting directory is public_html for the DAR site When you say it doesn't work, what is the problem? If you are using a Firewall, did you give EW permission to access the web? For any of you who may be switching to EW, you may find this site a help in first setting up the program. http://any-expression.com/expression-web/tutorials/ pat ____________ Pat Geary http://www.family-genealogy-online.com/ http://www.genealogy-web-creations.com/ http://www.blog.family-genealogy-online.com/
