I cannot publish to iWeb via ftp. Please help!

Went through Terminal and was able to connect properly there, but when testing the connection in iWeb it fails everytime. What is wrong? Everything is fine on the host side and with me being able to connect in the Terminal application, it leads me to believe that it is an iWeb problem

When iWeb tests the connection, it tries to write a file on the server.


When the test succeeds, iWeb is happy. That does not mean it is the right location to publish your website. It only test if it can write.


Simply connecting to the server with Terminal app or any app does not mean you can write there or that you end up in the right location.


Usually the pathname is the cause of the failure.


So check the pathname field.
