Re: Setting up a website to replace Mobileme
For my sixpennyworth, I have always used Transmit which I have found reliable, fast and user friendly. Not free but a good $34 worth.

Fetch I find marginally better, but I guess that's why it costs. Cyberduck does the job for basics. I don't suppose what FTP application? was the question though. I do host a Joomla based website (alpha1.org.au), but I didn't build it nor do I maintain it, but if knowing anything of the directory structure etc helps, ask away as I do have FTP and remote access the server.

Re: Setting up a website to replace Mobileme
Hi Robert, I don't know how your web-hosting package is set-up, but I have set-up 3 web-sites, including one which gets updated reasonably frequently, and I have yet to find that I need ANY FTP program. Both web-hosting companies I use offer C-panel controls for the web-hosting which means I do all uploading, file moving, deleting, re-naming etc, etc from the web browser. To get into C-panel I just enter www.mydomain.com:2082 (obviously mydomain.com would be you actual domain name) and I get asked for my login name password and then I'm on the C-panel page with all manner of domain management tools at my disposal - from creating email accounts to downlaading web statistics. To upload a file I just go to the 'file manager', navigate to the folder I want to upload to (eg public_html) and click the 'upload' button - I am then asked to select the files I want to upload and there is a 'browse' button to let me navigate through my hard drive to the files I need - and that's all there is to it :o) Most web-hosting packages I see advertised seem to offer C-panel and over the years the feature set seems to keep expanding - there are now video tutorials from within C-panel - though I found it all so intuitive that I haven't got around to watching any! Anyway, just my 2c worth - I really was amazed at how easy it all is nowadays! Cheers Neil -- Neil R.

Re: Setting up a website to replace Mobileme
Hi Robert I've switched a few people over from mobile me hosting to my hosting service business (http://www.hostingservicewa.com.au). It has a lot of the MobileMe features and a lot more. All can be run out of Cpanel (easy to work with) and has file manager and a lot more. Plus a lot more email and features as well if required. You can directly upload from iWeb. The reason to either use the File Manager or an FTP upload program is that MobileMe has a way to sort of wreck the domain name. For example if you have your own domain name and then upload from iWeb you'l get an address that looks like http://www.mydomainname.com.au/mydomainname/home.html so it doubles it up. Whereas by saving to a folder then directly uploading you get a much nicer looking web address http://www.mydomain.com.au I also use Transmit, and although not free it's quite cheap for it's feature set, and it's very easy to use. You can favourite your site on the left hand side (in a Finder looking window) and your Domain in the right hand side. It then has a Sync feature that you just click on, and any changes made in your site locally get uploaded to your site online. Very easy. I've set a few of these up for other clients and shown them how to use it all, while I was out doing other consulting work. My hosting set is actually written in iWeb and uploaded from the folder. Very easy to look after.

Hi Daniel, Yes, I replied to Robert's query back on 10/05/2012 recommending your hosting service that I use... HostingServicesWA.

Hi Daniel, I just get sick of them not getting back to the list after they have posted asking for help. Then after days, others stat rambling on mentioning stuff that has already been suggested. This Robert hasn't bothered to get back to the list, and so many others also have asked questions, we have responded and never heard anything back from the person who asked the bloody question. Ah, I'm sick of them at the moment. Not going to answer anymore over the week-end. The guy with the mouse problem has never done the tests that Carlo asked him to do, which would have helped early on.

Re: Setting up a website to replace Mobileme
Thank you Daniel, My apologies to the list for my outburst of frustration. My comments were obviously not meant to go to the list. My only excuse is I have reached my 'burn out' stage today. I push myself too hard sometimes and don't know when to stop and take a break. My reaction was completely out of character for me. I am always considerate, polite and professional in everything I do. I now realise I do need to take a break to regain some energy and balance. My sincere apologies to everyone. I hope you will understand and accept my apology.

By the way!

Re: Setting up a website to replace Mobileme
An alternative free FTP application - Cyberduck (hope I haven't broke WAMUG rules with a hyperlink?!). Fetch I find marginally better, but I guess that's why it costs. Cyberduck does the job for basics. I don't suppose what FTP application? was the question though. I do host a Joomla based website (alpha1.org.au), but I didn't build it nor do I maintain it, but if knowing anything of the directory structure etc helps, ask away as I do have FTP and remote access the server.
