creating webpage

edna_clouds

Hi

I have built web page in dreamweaver, registered domain in 1&1, and registered hosting to jamroll. I have changed the settings in 1&1 to those of jamroll. I used the access details on the email from jamroll confiming my hosting account with jamroll. On dreamweaver - I put the control panel address for the host directory - is this right?

when I highlight the files and upload, I keep getting the error message - ftp error 530.

I am on wanadoo broadband

A 530 error, means incorrect login, so you may have put in the Username or Password wrong, or more probably the ftp address.

I don't think it will be the control panel address. I am unfamiliar with dreamweaver but, Try just a / (forward slash) as the host directory. Your FTP address will be something like one of these

ftp://ftp.domain.com/
ftp://ftp.somename.jamroll.com/
ftp://123.45.678.90/

These details should be in the jamroll e-mail.

Hi

Tried all of those and still no luck.

In Dreamweaver, your FTP host will be ftp.yourdomain.com (without the ftp:// at the start) and the Host directory will be public_html/

Login and Password will be the same as your Jamroll control panel login and pwd.

Enter all these details and click Test on the Dreamweaver Site Definition screen.

Tried that and still get the error ftp error log 530



What should I have on the http section in the local info section

Try http://www.smartftp.com/ to upload the pages to the httpdocs folder not httpsdocs.

Browntoa

there is a free bit of software called filezilla that is a very good FTP program

download that and try uploading using that instead

remember that passwords and user-ids may be case sensitive

Hi

It says

a ftp error occurred - cannot make contection to host. 530 athentication failed, sorry


I thought that would be able to upload files from dreamweaver without downloading more programmes.

As mentioned before, that error means your username and/or password is incorrect.

You can upload files using Dreamweaver, in fact it is far better than a normal ftp program because it can synchronise your local files and remote files by just uploading/downloading the files that have changed. Perservere because you'll have the same authentication problem whichever program you use.
