iWeb Help Please

[Regular-John]

Hi All

I've followed this guide.

But when I try and edit the server content it says that I don't have sufficient privilages or that it's full.

I've tried 'get info' and it says I can only read, so I guess that's the problem.

So my question is; how I can edit the contents of my server?!?! And get full access?

Cheers.

If you want to edit the content of your site, do it in iWeb and then republish it - it will update your site on the server with the changes

But when I do I get the following error:

"Can't create the file 'xxxxxx'. The disk may have been damaged, full or you may not have sufficient access privilages'.

And when I 'get info' it states I only have 'read access'.

 

[Gee]

So did you originally publish your site succesfully the first time? And now it won't let you overwrite it?

 

[Regular-John]

Yeah, I used to 'publish to folder' then upload it using Cyberduck. But I found that guide on apple.com so I thought I'd give it a whirl. But it's not playing!

 

[Gee]

When you logged on to the server using the 'Connect' menu like it says in the guide, did that work as stated - you didn't accidentally log on as a guest did you? Try disconnecting and logging on to the site again. That's pretty much all I can think of.

 

[Regular-John]

I've tried disconnecting, deleting the address and re-entering it but when I do it doesn't ask me for me user name and password!!

Any ideas.

Cheers

 

[Regular-John]

I've managed to change my password so when I try connect to my server with finder it asks for the p'word again. But I've double checked and my username and p'word are correct. I still can't publish to my server, any ideas?


Thanks

 

[Gee]

From me, no more ideas, sorry. Apart from going back to using Cyberduck.


Maybe someone else can chip in?

 

[Regular-John]

Cheers Gee.

Anyone else any ideas?

It's probably as simple as the feedback you're getting; it sound like you don't have write access or that the partition is full.

You can check the rights by doing a directory listing in your home / default folder. This lists all files; pay particular notion of the file/dir called "." (which is the directory you're in). What rights does it have? (eg. drwx-r-xr-x which means; the user has read, write and execute rights, the group has read and execute and 'other' as well). Make sure you (user) and/or the group you are part of have write access.

if you still have problems, contact your sysadmin

 

[Regular-John]

Yeah, I know I don't have full rights. But it doesn't make sense, it's my domain so I should!!

It's odd because I don't have any problems upload with Cyberduck using the same info. I just wanted to save a bit of time and do it thru iWeb.

I'm not sure why Apple would put a howto on their own site like that, but you can't do that with finder. ftp servers accessed like that via finder are read-only. There is an article on Apple's site about it.

Many thanks for that! That makes me feel better!

Cheers mate.
