using filezilla on mac

[toblerboy]

Hi,
Calling any filezilla ftp specialists for help please!!!

I use filezilla to upload to hostpapa for my website.
I have uploaded to public html folder successfully several times. Recently I didnt know how to delete queued files - so I deleted the application.
However I then redownloaded filezilla. The queued files were still there. However in the end I managed to figure out how to delete these files. So I thought it was back to business as normal.

I have just tried to upload new files to my website and now it does not work. Have I done something wrong by deleting the software and re-downloading it?

This is what it says for every file that fails. (see below) PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Any help most gratefully received as I am losing about £30 a day by my website not being fully functional. Many thanks. TT

Not sure, but it seems you're trying to upload files into the "newly published" directory inside your "public_html" folder, but that folder doesn't exist, or doesn't have writable permissions.

It's hard to say what you're trying to accomplish, but you may just want to re-queue the newly published folder to upload into the public_html folder.

On a side note, it is generally a bad idea to include spaces in your file and folder names for items that are going to be online. You're better off replacing the spaces with dashes or underscores.

In Filezilla when you connect to the remote site, look at the owners of the files and directories. This will be a number like 531. There will also be a group number, usually the same as the owner ID. Every file and directory should have the same owner ID.

If there is a folder with a different owner ID, try uploading to that.

You might have to get your ISP to run a chown command over your site to give all the files and folders the correct owner ID.

Not an answer, just a recomendation:

Drop Filezilla and download Cyberduck.

just recommending

PS ( caveat ) I really like filezilla, but like the cyberduck interface so much more. Just drag and drop, almost exactly like Finder

I've always found Transmit to be worth the few bucks you pay, but Cyberduck is a nice free alternative.

Try this

I use Fillzilla and had a similar problem uploading any updated iWeb folder from desktop to Yahoo. For some reason certain files were not being updated.

Create and upload the files to another root folder and then have the index.html point from public_html to this new directory.

You're using iWeb, too.

And you use the same iWeb template I use, too. My compliments.

In preferences have filezilla only upload files in folder uploads that are new or resized. I always now have iWeb download to desktop my website as an entire folder and then filezilla will only update the files that have changed. iWeb has idiosyncratics that sometimes change files you haven't touched while editing other files. Filezilla knows what files iWeb has changed and uploads them.

Filezilla does what I want. I'm satisfied.
