Hi, This actually is not cry for help but post with some answers. Please correct as needed. The verbose subject is mainly for others searching groups on the same problem. Note: I use Mozilla on PC and Linux so when I refer to them as 7.1/1.4/1.5.
When publishing in the Composer program contained in Netscpape7.1/Mozilla1.4/1.5 The FTP function connects to the root of your user account. I can't get it to use absolute paths. My tests are all in the linux/apache/proftpd (with PAM on or off this works). A regular user might have a /home/testuser/public_html directory for publishing web pages and have access to another place in the root of the web server. If root of the web server = /usr/local/apache/htdocs/othersite user = testuser In old Composer (4.x) you could ftp://server/usr/local/apache/htdocs/othersite, name your page and publish - no dice in new Composer 7.1/1.4/1.5. Error 550 New Composer connects to /home/testuser. Try this ftp host = ftp://host.server.name only no directory Site Subdirectory for this page = ../../usr/local/apache/htdocs/othersite For public_html try = ./public_html Notice ../../ and ./ that's the ticket that worked for me. If you connect to the server three directories from the absolute root of the file system / use ../../../then path to publish location. You have to have new Composer start from the absolute start of the file system or root / When you force it (new Composer) to start looking for your publish location (path) from the beginning of the file system it works. No error 550. I don't know why maybe passive/active ftp ? Please correct these directions as needed. Cheer and Let it snow, Tom V. _______________________________________________ mozilla-editor mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-editor
