Error Message "the system cannot find the specified file"

Hi,

I built my website with iWeb, but when I want to publish it on my own domain (not .mac) I've always this error message (the system cannot find the specified file) with many files. I've tryed many ftp host but I still have the same problem. I ask my host domain manager and everything is ok with them. Si I guess that the problem comes from iWeb.

Please help me.

Thanks

Mac OS X (10.5.2)

Are you saying this happens when you do File > Publish to a Folder? If not, when?

I've tryed many ftp host but I still have the same problem.


What ftp app are you using? What exactly are you trying to upload and to what host?

In fact I can publish all my website without any problems on a file (I mean when I do File > Publish to a Folder) The problem happens when I want to publish the website (made of Pictures) on my own domain via a ftp. The host is Amen.fr and I tryed with Cyberduck and capitain ftp.

I really don't know what to do. The fact is when I publish my Website on .MAc all the pictures are published but not when it's on www.nicolashonorez.com, my own adress.

Thank you

Some web servers put restrictions on file names, like no spaces allowed. Have you checked whether amen.fr does that?

When I look at www.nicolashonorez.com, I can see that you have not uploaded the whole site. You need to upload the folder with your site name, plus in the index.html file created by iWeb alongside it. You have only uploaded the contents of that folder so far (and perhaps you omitted some of those contents).

I get the error: Cannot Copy 08 the curse in on my house: Cannot find the specified file. Make sure you specify the correct path and file name.

The song "the curse in on..." is on the "into the woods" soundtrack. I deleted the entire soundtrack from my iTunes Library, shut down and tried again. Same error. I did a search of all three hd (2 external and c) nothing found. I searched for song name and "into the woods" I even searched for the artist "Nicholas Parson Company" nothing on any of the 3 HDs. I also went into explorer and manually searched for the song under soundtracks, misc, various and I could not find it. I consolidated my library and restarted. I tried again and same error message. Can a level 4 or 5 offer any help. I am at a loss...

The error won't let me copy one library to another HD.
