Problems publishing iWeb site

Hi all,


I recently switched to a new mac, and without thinking I forgot to transfer the raw files for my website over. I've been rebuilding my site from scratch to recreate it perfectly.


In iWeb, everything looks just as it did before. However, when uploading to the net, the results are pear-shaped to say the least:

User uploaded file

User uploaded file


I am exporting to a folder, which then, using filezilla, I'm transferring to a secure FTP account on 1&1. I really don't know what's causing this so any feedback would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks in advance,

-Jacob

iWeb '08, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

I have to say that if you have a new mac, then you have really wasted a lot of time re-building your site in iWeb. Why on earth did you decide to do that when iWeb is so old and outdated?


There are many better things around that you could have used that are actually current and being updated and will work, unlike iWeb now and it os only going to get worse.


Why not look at trying EverWeb, which is a direct replacement for iWeb? You would not have all these problems.


For your current problem however, it could be FileZilla that is causing trouble. I used FileZilla once when I was using iWeb a long time ago now and I had problems with it, missing out files and not uploading, so I changed to Cyberduck and have used this to connect and upload and never had any further problems.


Try Cyberduck instead - download it for free and then delete the files that you uploaded with FileZilla and then re-upload them with Cyberduck and see if that makes a difference. Transmit is another good one to use, but you need to pay for that.


In the meantime, do consider moving to EverWeb, because I really think you have wasted your time re-building your website in iWeb on a new mac when iWeb is so old now, no longer sold by Apple and unsupported.

Ethmoid. Please stop replying to anyone who is asking for iWeb help. You are not helpful. There are people who can still continue to do things on iWeb some are transitioning or if anything nostalgic. Give it up. I see almost every last response on Apple's iWeb community with your 2 cents. Please stop.

Jacob,
There are common problems on using iWeb on recently Mac OS's.
Witch OS you have?


I am still using OS X YOSEMITE 10.10.5 because the next OS to this one, creates bugs on iWeb for me.
My recommendation: downgrade to OS X YOSEMITE.


It solved my iWeb issues.

As long as Ethmoid stays within the Terms of Use, they have as much right to post in this thread or any other as you do. If they violate the TOU, it will be up to the Hosts to remove the post and, if necessary, restrict them from posting. If you don't like what they have to say, don't read their posts.


It seems to me that Ethmoid gave a lot of good advice in that post, certainly more than anyone else in this thread.

No - the default location for your iWeb has always been the same - it is your User Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. However, in Sierra, as in previous iOS versions, your User Library is hidden, so to view it you need to got to Go in the top menu bar and when you have done this, you then need to press the 'alt' key and your Library will become visible. You can then click on it and everything will be revealed. If you click on Application Support obviously iWeb will not be there, as it is not supplied with Sierra, but you can create this folder yourself and then place your domain.sites files in it.


As long as you then have iWeb on your Mac, then you should be good to go.
