Hey,
I keep trying to upload pictures to my website and nothing happens.  First, it tells me to get rid of the spaces in my file name.  Then, I remove the spaces in the file name and I try to upload again and the screen refreshes and nothing has been added to my gallery.  Please Help!!!

Go back and start over. Close everything and logon again, then try to upload without any spaces in the filename. You may have to use Windows to rename the file first with no spaces.

Hi Benjamin!

Acording not to repeat ourselves here on this forum too much i suggest you go and see the next topics:

 .WS Services / Showcase Your Website / I need help building my web-site Please help!!!

 .WS Services / WebSite Development / Website Building??

There you can find everything about uploading pictures, putting picture on your website as a map and other things related to this theme.

Many success with pictures!

Tatjana

Thank you, Tatjana, for making reference to already existing Posts.

Chip

You're wellcome Chip!

I've noticed a few such a posts and I aply to everyone to see through the forum for answer to his (or her) question first and only if the answer cannot be found, post the topic.

I've encounterred a lot of forums going to a total mess when the topics and questions were duplicated or even triplicated!!! And  - ws server has no unlimited space either, so why filling it with already existing things!!!

No offence, but it's better that way for all!

Tatjana

I go to manage my gallery and upload a file but when I go to add it to my page it is not in my personal gallery. Any ideas ???

When you added it.. Did it show it after you added it?  USUALLY,
if something is wrong you will get an error message.. Try it again..

WHEN you add content or edit content.. select image..
CHOOSE from your gallery.. IF you have a ton of images
in there... scroll to the bottom because there could be
mulitple pages.

I hope this helps you.

Well I figured out what was happening. The problem was in the file name. I had pict02.1.jpg but that extra "." was making it download as a binary file not as an image file. Duh!!!!!? So from now on no extra "."  :-[

Thank you for the help.

Yves

I need some help uploading pics also...  everytime I try to upload a pic, I have to take the spaces out of my URL...  when I do that, nothing happens and the screen just goes back to the way it was before I uploaded my pic... any suggestions?

Thanks!

Matt,

Take the space out of the filename before you upload it. Filenames have all sorts of problems most places except Windows, so don't use them. Put an underline or a dash, but no spaces.

Well I am also having trouble uploading pictures, I have removed the spaces but it now says that my file doesn't have an extension! what does that mean or am I just having a senior moment?

Hi Peter,

     I'll try to help you out if I can.....

     Just about all files have "extensions", Hyper Text Markup Language is an extension and instead of typing all that out, it is shortened to:HTML. Actually it's always lower case and I'm using upper case just for clarification. Anyways, images and photo's have their own extension too. JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group, and there's GIF PNG and the list goes on. They are all extensions and tell the browser how to handle the particular file. Also it is VERY important that a "DOT" (some people call them  a "PERIOD") is inserted between the filename and the extension or the whole thing won't fly right! ??? Here's an example of a filename with it's extension: grapes27.jpeg or ltpinksatin.gif It is important that there are no spaces or it won't fly right. ???

And also, don,t worry about those senior moments, I have them all the time! ::)

Well Jerry, I hope this was of some help to you. Good luck and if you get in trouble, just yell for help, there's plenty of it here on the GDI forum.

I uploaded my site using FTP and it was available to see instantly.  Today I went and made some changes and re-uploaded and now the changes are not immediate.  Is this normal?
Jeff

When I first setup my website there was a downtime of a few hours before I could view it.

Now when I make changes it is instant.

Stefani

This is the same for me too!

~Kyra

Something very odd here a genuine FTP program should produce instant results.

I haven't had problems with mine.  When I hit refresh on a page that I have just updated, it is usually changed.
 ;D

Could you let me know what the FTP details are like? I have been trying to get GDI to host my site only, but have never received an email with the FTP details. But they should be pretty straightforward such as FTP://mywebsite.ws using my username and password, right???

Thanks for your help

Rachel

Hi,

when it comes to uploading pictures to websites, I would strongly recommend using short names with no spaces at all. In fact try to keep the name as simple as possible, while keeping it easy to reference. (So you don't get lost as to what is what). The best is to have single words or at most double words with maybe a number as reference.

When picture names are too long, or have weird characters or spaces in it, builders get lost and can't use them.

Hope this helps

Rachel

I have designed my website with MS Frontpage and I have included a Form Request page. The Form Request page won't work correctly due to the Web Server doesn't seem to support the Frontpage extention.

Does anyone have any suggestion.

I am not a great expert but I also had trouble with yahoo site builder and canceled their plan. I would just use the .ws form it is easier.  then hopefully you might come across an expert to where you could customize your site more. put affiliate links and info.

I have been working on my site for about a week and now that I am ready to upload the site to ws hosting I am having a cow!  I am so confused about ftp and need some directions.  Maybe I am just burnt out on trying to figure everything out :'( :'(

Anyway my site is www.dkay.ws and I believe I have it all ready, but now I need to get it uploaded!  Can somebody help me please? ???

Hi There!  I visited your site and it is in place already.  It looks as if you created your site using Sitebuilder, so there is no need to use FTP.  I hope that answers your question!

Frank

Hello,

I have built my website, but I am not familiar with ftp, but I did copy some info from microsoft about ftp and I am still lost!  Can someone help me on how to do this.  I have already clicked on ws hosting for my site. :'(

Thanks

I would supposse you could switch it to site-builder and since you don't have anything on your site yet it wouldn't mess it up. :)
Deborah H

There are many FTP programs available on the web. You will need the software and you will need your host name and after that its a pretty simple process. Two of them are the de facto kind of industry standard. Unfortunately I may not mention their names so if you need the names please email or pm me.

Hi, I know this has been answered elsewhere , but not with this problem I am having.
my picture will not upload because of spaces in file name , when I remove them the page refreshes
logging out and back in did not work
going to windows and trying to change file, did not work.

please help

kevan

Hello,

Right click on the picture and go to Properties to change the file name.

Worked a treat. thank you Nicole

Hello,
I am trying to publish my pages that were done in FrontPage to my ms site
but will not publish.
Does ws support FP if so what am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
henryk

Hello,
I just wrote some pages in frontpage and am having trouble publishing them to my ws site.

I am in my 7 day trial period.  Does this matter and is fp supported?

What should I be looking for in ways of problems?

Thanks,

henryk

Fitst and foremost...Welcome Henry to GDI and this magnificent forum!  To answer your question:  You can use FTP during the 7-day trial period.  All of your files must be loaded in your website.ws folder.  Also make sure that your first page is your index.html or index.htm  It normally takes 24-48 hours for the site cycle through DNS. 

Hope this information helps you a little.  I am not an expert, but I do know a little about website development.  FTP is kinda tricky sometimes (especially Frontpage)!

Frank

Please advise me what I'm doing incorretly.  I have done two pages for my web site; however I've only published one.
I will publish the other one in the near future.  I still want to do some more work on it.
My question or statement is that the one I created, and published  does not appear.  I keep getting the GDI movie screen. :-[

Please advise me how I can correct this

Thanks!
Clara

Well, that's a new one on me.  ???  The only thing I can think of is check to make sure your website is not still on forwarding.  If I remember right, the default is that it forwards to that screen.  But once you publish it, that shouldn't be happnening.  Still, check that...
Very strange.  :-\

I did the ftp yesterday(frontapage) and it took several hours for it to upload, but on a happy note, I added a pic I had forgotten and it was there in an instant.
Make sure you have a good ftp program, username and password and GDI server setting and you are there. Let us know if it worked for ya Henry...

go to forwarding , then change the forwarding address to your site name. i think that might solve your problem. I think thats what i did when i was building my site!

I am not a Frontpage user but as far as I remember it has a built in FTP facility.

I need someone to talk to me about uploading images to the site builder. I went through all the steps to upload my personal photos & when I went to insert them into the site the list to choose from was EMPTY, yet the photos were in the gallery????
Any suggestions??? Makes it kinda hard to sell my photos if I can't display them.
Thanks, Danielle P

DPerry!

Hi,

I have made several attempts to get help, but so far my post haven't even shown up in the forum.  Sooooooo....going to give it one more shot.

My problem is I purchased a website from GDI, but it has never worked and I can't seem to get any replies from support.

My problem is when I attempt to upload my files with ftp or FrontPage, I keep getting the message "Could not find a web server (my host address number is shown here) on Port 21.  Therefore, not being able to upload my files anymore.....I could at first.

Then there are times that when I try to view my site, I either get a page that says "Under Construction" OR "Page Cannot be found".

I have sent multiple emails to support for the past 3 or 4 days, but as of right now, no replies.

Anyone have any thoughts on this or suggestions?

Thanks.

Janette

Hi,
Try calling support with this problem. Doing that will help you with your site building problem faster and in person. :)

Michael T. Here,
   Okay, I've uploaded my html files, now I need to get in there and edit them..actually I sent them as a .ZIP file so they propably aren't going to work until I unzip them.  I don't see any instructions in the domain area.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Mike T

Michael!

Questions:   You uploaded your files to where?  Website Builder or FTP server?

Either way, if you uploaded them as a zip file, this is what you created without possibly knowing so:  http://www.yourname.ws/filename.zip That is what happens when you upload a file like that.  You need to create and upload each file/page individually if you are using the SiteBuilder.  I have not seen the updated version of Sitebuilder, in other words,  I am not well rehearsed on the new version.  But it should all work the same. 

Now with all of that being said...I could be wrong!  Hopefully I have helped you some!

Frank

Frank,
 I'm using the FTP server I Think--Server name was website.ws with address
216.35.188.14.   I thought the sitebuilder was strictly templates..Am I wrong?
I did Re-Upload the files individually but still getting the UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
Guess I'll wait that 24 Hours.
Thanks for input,
Mike T.

Oh, my dear people! This are basics of the computering: no characters like . - / * etc. are allowed in the file names, especially when it comes to uploading something on the Internet. Better not to use spaces, too and for the people in the countries with čžš characters - if you have these in the name of the file, change them to czs ... Also better don't make teksts with these čžš characters if you are posting somewhere worldwide, because not all have the proper version of the operation system to convert them properly (like GDI also) especially when text is HTML version with all designing etc.

Hope I wasn't annoying!

Good luck!

Tatjana

You can always replace a space in a file name with the following characters %20

so for example Black Guinea Fowl.jpg would become Black%20Guinea%20Fowl.jpg. This should work fine and if you are using a Wysiwig editor will also generate the correct alt tag which should read Black Guinea Fowl!

Eh, Norma, my Photo Tutorial went to waist as I made it too professional and it's too "havy" now to load it on the net. My God, why I always have to be so "perfect". The tutorial is in PowerPoint 2003 and the link is still in my topic My movie, but I'm strugling to convert all this into much more appropriate format, vieweable for everyone. Thanks anyway!

Tatjana

 >:(

Tatjana, your willingness to take the time and effort to help others (like me) deserves much gratitude. I certainly send mine!!  You are special indeed!!

All my best,
Norma  :o

I don't know. Maybe it's hard to understand my wilness to help all of you, but that's who I am - always here if someone needs me (except when I sleep and I sleep very little - maybe 2 or 3 hours a day). If you would ask the workers of my department in my day job they'd surelly tell you the same.

But about me being special. Well if you see me so, then OK. What I'm trying to be is helpful, that's all!

Thank you very much in deed!

Still, if you're not afraid of the PowerPoint presentations - the Tutorial is still there on this link: http://site-images.ws/images/cust/76614/Phototutorial1.zip

Tatjana

You can replace a space in an image name with %20. For eg My Kids Playpen.gif would be My%20 Kids%20Playpen.gif

I keep getting an error code, when adding additional text to my home page. 

I searched this forum, and someone mentioned 'too much data'--need to add another section.

So, how do I do that?  I want the text to continue flowing on my home page--not be on another page.

Thanks in Advance!

Hi Pam -

I had the same trouble. The old site builder told you when you
had two many characters in one section on your page (4,000).

The new site builder gives an "error 122" (I think) - it seems to
mean there are too many characters in that section.

The only way I have been able to correct the error is to copy/paste
some of the information into a new section on the same page.

To do this, just click on "Add Content" in the site builder blue control
bar at the top of the page. A new section is added, after you choose what
type of information is to go into it (html, flash, image, etc.). By default, each
new section is added to the bottom of the page.

After you add the new information, you may have to manipulate the spacing
to get the "look" you're after.

Hope this helps -  :)

Well, it's been 2 weeks since I posted my introduction and I still am trying to figure out how to build my site.  I've been too busy with the J.O.B. (JustOverBroke)

What I've found out is that I have 6 pages on my site.  (Correct me if my conceptions are false).
I went to the Site builder and tried to put together a page of pure text to start with.  I know I don't want that as my home page but I wanted to try something simple.  Ha.  Now I have a page that won't even go back to the origional format. Steve Westfall said something about making a mountain out of this molehill.  What I would like to do is reduce this mountain to a molehill.  I have the feeling that when I get the key, I am going to feel very foolish for making this project so hard.

Can anyone tell me if I am wrong to think that I should be able to copy the source code from another site (not .WS) with the owner's permission and stick it on my site?  I know that some modifications within the source code are necessary.

I am still trying to read all the posts but when I have to be at work at 5:00AM, by the time 10:00 PM comes up I am ready for bed.

I appreciate all the help the folks on the forum give.  It's been my experience that forum people are one special kind of folks.  I have been a member of antique tractor forums for years.

Thanks,
Dave 
 
 
 
 
 

Hello,  I understand that on the sitebuilder, single colum you will recieve an "Error122" if there are to many charactors. But, How many Charactors are we allowed?
Also, On the picture upload, I get stuck everytime I try to upload my pictures. Any Advice?
I am new here, But have been interneting a long time. I never had problem uploading my pictures before. But I also see a lot of glinches you have to work out here too. Thanks.
Sharon Lee

Hi

When uploading a picture you have to make sure that you have no spaces or _ in the file name.

Hope this helps

Rich

Sharon, the max characters per section in the old site builder was 4,000.
I haven't seen any information regarding this in particular with the new version.

A way to test it may be to create a 4,000 character document in Word
(use the "Word Count" feature under the "Tools" tab) and create a new page
in Site Builder with it. Then add a few characters, update it, and see if the "error 122" pops up.
It doesn't matter if it's information for a real webpage - any combination of
characters should suffice. Just delete the page after the test.

Hope this helps -

Hello everybody here!

Did you maybe noticed that (at least by audio files) you don't have to pay attention if the file name contains the spaces or not. The site builder adds the additional code %20 automatically!!!

Users who uses čžš characters just have to pay attention not to use those letters as html don't recognize them (recognises them wrong) and link to file doesn't work properly!!!

Have a GREAT day and many success!!!

Tatjana

I'm very familiar with FTP programs, HTML and web publishing on the whole.  Just for now, I quickly (okay, it took a couple hours, but that's HTML for you) typed up an index in notepad and used LeechFTP (free FTP program) to upload it to my site, www.czed.ws

Now, I do not see an update yet, only an "under construction" when I access the main page, and a black page if I type in www.czed.ws/index.html

When I go back into the FTP and view the file that I uploaded, it is correct.  Now, I've used other sites where there is a delay from the time you upload to the time you see it because there is a back-end translation that happens so that the changes take effect.  Is there a similar system in place for this site, which is why the changes do not occur right away?  Also, what is the average time for an update to take place?

From what I've read so far, it could take hours...

I tried putting some audio files on my website.  How do I go about this?  I don't see this option on the Site Builder. :)

Can I upload web pages that I have created In Microsoft Frontpage and  add them to my website I have created on site builder?

Sincerly ,
Vic

You must elect "webhost" under the domain option...for a custom site

GDI doesn't allow you to alter the template. Which I think is good, it is excellent quality control~

Site builder is template driven. It is nice to quickly get your page jump-started and get your url's and meta info introduced into the search engines...It has been know to take sometime...but given that this is .ws it should accelerate what would normally take .com's months to show up~

I hope this answered your question

This is an awesome question.  I myself use Frontpage and as of yet done anything with my personal site as I am building the opportunity.  But I was considering making an "About myself" website to promote myself to my prospects.  I think this is very important that our prospects get to know who they get into business with. 

Using Frontpage I know requires frontpage server extensions which I am not sure we have available however I would like to know if we can construct our own site on frontpage and upload without any of the bells and whistles that require the extensions.

Can anyone give us some input on this.

Thanks Mike McGhie.

P.S.  How do I get a pic of myself on my admissions to the forum

I have built a site with MS FP2003 and uploaded it with no problems. You can see it at www.smartbizops.ws

I hope this gets through soon because I'm trying to publish my site using Front Page and it's not going through.  I can't get past the login because that keeps popping up, and I know I put in the right information because I've published before.  Is the server down or something?

HI YA ALL FROM DOWN UNDER!!

Just mastered the art of site-building this weekend! Last weekend I was almost going to pack it in, but my knight in shining armour, my dear up-line sponsor, figured out where I was going wrong  & fixed it for me! Im over the moon!!
But, now I have run into some more difficulties, namely, uploading music/voice file content. I tried to upload some music to my gallery, but promptly received the dreaded IE (internet explorer)  has encountered a problem & needs to close error message!!  (I hate that message, cause you know that you get wiped off & shut down!!) Each time closing down completely!
Anyway, I tried & tried but, alas, the message appeared over & over again. Is there some special way to upload my saved MP3 music files  & also AMR voice files? (voice files I have recorded on my mobile phone & transferred to my PC). I tried creating a new folder away from where it was originally saved, then uploading it from there,  but it didnt make any difference.
I would like to include some music &/or voice files (like ive seen on other web-sites), but it seems I need help first doing it. Is it possible to have music playing in the background on your web-site? Or to play a quick welcome voice file?
Has anyone out there encountered this problem at all? How did you solve it? Please help I need some good advice. Have also put my request in to support too. In the meantime, while waiting for their response, I would like to hear from all the problem-solvers out there.
Regards, Helen
PS. Have almost got my web-site up & running!! Except for this small (I hope) problem. Phew! What a relief let me tell you!

i'm having the same problem, i just spend about 6 hours making the site and i uploaded it into the folder with the index.html. now when i click the site that i assigned it just goes to a GDI page not mine.

I have added audio and video to my website.  I use instantvideogenerator to do it. 

Rich

I have tried to upload Pages from Front-Page 2000.

The process appears to have worked but when I go to the website all I get is a parent directory link.

I have made the first page index.html but it does not seem to work.

Hi ya to all!! I was wondering about creating animations/flash files for uploading to my website. Is this possible? I have come across this great animations software on the net, which is very reasonably priced, & I want to purchase it, but before I do, I need to know if sitebuilder will support the uploading of these files I create using this software.  With this fantastic software, I can create slide shows/ banners/ flash text/ menu & navigation buttons & sub-menu buttons & more.. & all of these can be made with music added. They also have  downloadable demo versions for each of the effects you want to create, so you can try before you buy & also to familiarise yourself with it, if your a newbie just like me.
So, my question is, is it possible to buy this software, & create great looking flash, etc.. then upload it easy enough to sitebuilder?? The software company claims that they are standard flash files, supported by any browser & o/s. But, i need to know 100% for sure before i buy, if all is ok.
 I have checked out other peoples websites, & have noticed that they have animations on theirs, so i assume that its ok.
thanks to ya all,
regards,
Helen. R.
yours in health & wealth & happiness.

Well, loading flash movies or animations into a site doesn't require any server support in the background, like php would.  You should be able to upload the .swf file, and embed it using an embed tag in the html of the page where you want it to show up.  It is then the responsibility of the user visiting your site to ensure they have Macromedia Flash Player and Macromedia Shockwave player in order to be able to view your site, but support for Macromedia is provided for all web browsers and operating systems, as the site mentioned to you.

If you want to test it, find a .swf file that you can download, and then upload it to the .ws domain server, include the embed source, and see if it works.

If it does, you have your answer.  If you need help on how to do this, let me know.  :)

Thanks so much Kris,
Will check out this info & try it out. Also, what about m/s office frontpage? Would i be able to create animations with this? thanks so much.
 
                                 

1)
Just wondering if anyone out there can give me any detailed instructions on how to use m/s frontpage 2000 to add animations/flash/banners, etc.. to my website?  Im a complete novice, & would appreciate some help. Have read other posts on the subject, but it seems so confusing to me. Thanks so much. My website is almost done, bar getting to master frontpage & adding a few bits & pieces to brighten things up. Once I figure it out, it will only be a short time before everything is ready for publishing.
2)
Also, can I use frontpages' templates & create my own pages instead of sitebuilders? What is involved in this?

I'm trying to upload some large ebooks to store on my webpage but I can't upload any large files. So far I have uploaded a few smaller ebooks, but anything over about 10 mb won't work. I starts uploading but then after about half an hour it just goes back to the page editor section. The files I'm trying to upload are zip files but I haven't had any problems with the smaller page.

Also, I want to forward my 1st page to a different site, how do I do this?

Any help on either of these would be really really really appreciated.

I have changed my setting for my website (www.WorkOnlinePartTime.ws) to "Hosting."
I have created my index.html using Dreamweaver.
I am using a Mac and a program called Interarchy to upload my site.
It has worked with my non-.ws sites using a different hosting company...
any suggestions why it's not working with GDI or how I can try something different?

thanks,
jeremy

OK - I called support (760-602-3000) and they were able to help me within minutes.  I tried the forum first, because I thought for some reason that I should try to ask around before tying up the support line. I always imagine support lines tied up with a hold time of - forever. On the contrary, I should have called there from the beginning!  Anyway, it turns out that my index.html was actually titled Index.html (with a capital 'I').  I couldn't tell due to my monitor settings and the small print, not to mention, the very same file worked with another hosting company.  No bother though - it works great now!  I'm so relieved -

thanks GDI

Good I am glad this is sorted out. Its interesting in another way linux servers are case sEnsitIVe in all file names and GDI's servers should be configured to accept Index.html and index.html as a default. They should also accept index.htm and Index.htm and a couple of others. Normally they are set up in a hierarchical order so if one does not work the next one works when you type in the default domain eg http://www.mysite.ws/. If you type in http://www.mysite.ws/Index.html and the file on the server is index.html it will not work. (http://www.gdi-made-easy.ws/images/smilies/fish.gif)

 hello guys,
                 having a question @ using images/photos etc.
 Are we allowed to use any imgs on this home site so that
 we can edit them accordingly for sending Html emails
 or on websites for promoting GDI.

My understanding is GDI images are proprietary and you may use them as often as you like in your marketing efforts. If you want to alter an image you need to clear it with GDI.

 Thanks.

Hopefully someone can help me before Monday as my online presentation in a conference room is on Tuesday and I desperately want to be able to use a PowerPoint presentation that I've already saved as webpages in PowerPoint and uploaded via CoreFTP.

Initially I had built out my http://ajohnsonenterprise.ws website especially for this event on Tuesday, but yesterday I decided I wanted to use a PowerPoint presentation to better describe what's on the site.   So after getting help from a guy in London who contacted another guy in Canada (all via Skype) as to how to use the conference room, etc. , I found out that in order to use a PowerPoint presentation in the conference room, it had to be accessible on the web.  So I changed my site to Hosting and got the automated reply with directions of what to do.

I can see the uploaded files in the FTP but no matter what I do, when I go to my site, I continue to see it as it was built and cannot access any of the files I uploaded.

I even created an index.html by copying the originally built site's HTML and saving it in 1stPage 2000 and then uploading it to FTP and still it's not showing my PowerPoint uploaded files.

I've sent a support request, but of course, it being the holidays, the automated reponse states it will be Monday before anyone is back in the office and then expect 2-3 days for a reply, which will be too late.

I'm wondering if the problem has to do with the fact that when I saved the PowerPoint as webpages, I didn't do each slide individually because the default was to save the entire presentation.

Can anyone provide me with information as to what I've done wrong that I can't see what I've uploaded?

Really need to find a solution by Monday so I'll have time to practice before the actual presentation early Tuesday morning.

Thanks!

Anita

NEVER MIND my earlier post:


Apparently it takes several  hours for the pages that I uploaded to appear.  I discovered this morning that what I  spent ALL day doing yesterday actually worked, I just couldn't see it until today!  So, I've tested the presentation this morning in the conference room and everything is as it should be (slight delay on some of the pictures loading, but that's ok).  And I also discovered that if you preface the website with www. it actually returns to the website as I originally built it!  I LOVE learning NEW stuff!

You have no idea how excited I am!

So, if any of you are around on Tuesday at 10:30AM EST, and are interested in learning about some Unique HEALTHY Holiday Gift Ideas, feel free to drop by for my presentation.  Just click the WAHM banner at the top of on my site and you'll be taken to the place where you can enter the conference room.  (I hope this invitation isn't deemed inappropriate by the moderator(s), but if it is, could you just delete this paragraph and post the rest?  -- Thanks!).

Ia'Orana!  (That You May Live Well)

Well I am excited for you too. You just go for it. Knock em dead :D

Hello

Been having problems uploading a video clip to the site

Problem 1) get a message saying that there is a Quicktime component missing which is not available on the Quicktime website - and so the procedure stops there and the clip doesn't load

Problem 2) clip loads onto site but then does not play - it shows a square Quicktime icon with a broken piece of film

Any suggestions?

I want to put a clip on the site to demonstrate to potential sign ups the versatility of the Website - I have pictures and music would like to show a video clip

cheers
Carrie

Try deleting the Quicktime program on your PC and re-installing.

Hi HelenR,

The quick answer is YES, even the Banners available in your GDI Back-Office are Animated.

The GDI Site Builder is a GREAT tool for beginners, but to be able to construct a Website that is CONTENT RICH there is only 1 way forward and that is to
utilise the Hosting Capabilities of your GDI Account.

I have seen some superb websites that have been constructed using the GDI Website Builder (really good), but there are limits to what you can do.

For example with the Site Builder you can have 10 pages, a guest book and a feedback page.. lets call it 12 Pages.

When you upload to the GDI SERVER you are not limited to 12 Pages, instead you are limited to 100mb Storage Space... I already have at least 30 pages Uploaded to my GDI DOMAIN... The pages are all working for me, helping to build my Downline.. CONTENT and FEATURE RICH PAGES, lots and lots of them.. I have Lead Capture Pages, Splash pages.. the crazy thing is I have only used 3mb of my 100mb space on the GDI SERVER..

I can help you to get started Helen, in fact I have already made a few posts in the FORUM showing some of what I can help you to achieve... SERIOUSLY you should have a look.


My only advice here is before you buy, look at the FREE alternatives that are also available online.

You might not find 1 FREE PROGRAMME that is as FEATURE RICH as this software you clearly like using, but it is probable you will be able to combine a couple of FREE PROGRAMMES and end up with the same results...

Oh but there are commissions available too!!! If the compensation plan is reasonable and the product is worth the asking price, and most important YOU think it is worth sharing please send me the link in a PM.

If I like the product maybe we can exchange some Web Space, a mutual exchange...
HelenR it is odds on that we can help each other in other ways too, who knows a nice little J.V maybe.  ;) ;)


be your own destiny,
Matthew Green  :)

Hallo,

i tried to upload also my files with Frontpage 2003 on my website ( ftp://......../frankgayer.ws ). I saw a folder on the server called "frankgayer.ws. I uploaded my complete files including index.html in this folder.

Was this correct ? If yes, why i see my old page built with the WebSite Builder ? Can anyone help me out.

Frank

Hi Frank,
it sounds like you have Uploaded correctly to the server..

Have you changed the setting in the Back-Office of your GDI Account??

You need to switch to the Hosting setting...

When you receive an email from GDI saying so, your website will be available to the WORLD...

Hope this helps, but if you are still having difficulty ask for more support in the FORUM, that is after you have used the search facility here to see if your questions have already been answered...

Regards,

I have the information to upload my site using frontpage 2003 and but when I have uploaded the site to the targeted area, file, how can I view the page.  Does this program support front page if so what am I doing wrong.

thans ahead of time for your help.

David Burton.

Did you switch to the hosting option in the control panel?

Hi,

I just joined a few minutes ago. I'm very new to all this html stuff but I have created a webpage which I am now trying to upload. So I chose the "hosting" option in my GDI account and I received an email telling me that I need to configure my FTP program. The email also said that my Address or Host: 216.35.188.14, Port 21.

So I went to download.com and signed up for sendthisfile.com. Now when I log into my sendthisfile account, I am asked to input the recipient's email address. What should this be?

Also, could someone please clarify - doesn't the $10 a month come with everything, ie hosting, website building, email and domain forwarding etc? I believed that GDI's FAQs says that it does, but when I click on domains and am asked to register my option, I seem to have only one option.

Would appreciate all the help I can get.

Thank you.

Adrienne

Hello Adrienne

You need an ftp program such as smart ftp or you could use the built in ftp program in IE (if you're not so concerned with security). Just type in"ftp://216.35.188.14/" in the address bar. You will be prompted to enter username and password. There are free versions available in download.com. Sendthisfile is not an ftp program.

Best Regards

Hi from sunny Brazil.

I have just spent two happy days preparing a wonderful page of wysiwyg using Mozila Composer.

Can an expert please give me the explicit exact non-fail step by step for a first timer to up load this masterpiece to my ws domain and make it come live to the world.

Thank you ever so much.

James

Get a good FTP program such as wsftp or cuteftp.
Load your destination and away you go.

I'm using Frontpage 2002 and couldn't upload - error 550 no such file or directory
I copied and pasted my website from "my webs/hangtime.ws/" to the ftp.hosting.ws "hangtime.ws" folder.
Is this any different than uploading.
I did this on Monday, 10 July 2006 and today, 14 July 2006 my site still shows up as a blank page.

I'm not a web design genius, so it would be very kind for someone to help me get my site up and running.
It sounds that once your site is up and running the uploading goes a bit quicker.
I don't want to upload new information until I at least see the current work I've done, so I know the copy and paste works.

Many thanks,
Christo

ok so.. I seem to be connecting to the .ws server but it wont upload my png file which has hot links on it to other pages. I've never uploaded a website to the net before
but have designed my site in fireworks because i don't know any html. I was wondering if anyone could perhaps help me out? anyone with fairly decent knowledge of dreamweaver?

I would appreciate any help at all

thanks

Justin

Hi Justin,

what is the error message that you see?
May I know are you uploading it directly from dreamweaver or you are using a FTP program?

I have some tutorials on file uploading using FTP, please send me a private message and I will give you the link.

I tried to start this new topic, but it never showed up, so I will try again.  If I design my site with site builder can I upload an ebook somehow and put a link on my page for people to download it?  If I use regular hosting does it have a cpanel so that I can do the same thing.  Any help would be appreciated.

You would definitely need the hosted option or use an external link to some other site in the site builder

I am a new member. I have ebook creator on my computer. I want to upload it. Do I have to rebuild my whole site using Website Builder or can I just upload this on to the parked domain I already have with Global Domain International. I want to put this into an auto responder to sell the product. But don't know how to do this . Any Advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Ray.

You have to build a site using the hosted option and upload the file to the GDI server.

OK  I have my site built, on my laptop.

I want to send an entire directory c:\george to the root of my domain.

What are the commands to do this using FTP or COffeCupFreeFTP.  I can't seem to connect to the FTP server at GDI.  The FTP settings don't seem to be anywhere in FAQ or Help files.

Thanks in advance, I need this ASAP!

Can anyone show me how to upload the DVD presentation on my website?   

You should be able to just put a link to it on your site
something like http://www.freedom.ws/userid/show_dvd

I am still searching to find out how to get a song to the gallery so I can include it to my website.  Can anyone help me?  I have ask about 3 questions on the forum and not gotten an answer yet, I was wondering if it because I am still in moderation.  Does that determine the length of time to get the answer?  New and just curious.
Thanks,
Bshelley

Tatjana,

Excellent site, How did u upload site pal onto your site?

How do u upload a video link?

Thank you for your co-operation.

I am needing to be able to tell my clients that they can have more space if they need it.  Is there a way to do it?

The other thing I noticed was that a content block is limited to 3000 characters which means that pasting a whole page is not a possibility.  So then you have to make a .pdf file, upload it and then the user has to click one more time (if you can get them to do this) to read your message.  Please look at http://www.sistersuzy.ws/TU to see what I might do.  My objective is to be a "project management tool"  Where a team of people can have their latest version of a document posted.  Then reviewers can add comments and the document manager can then compile the notes and publish a "final" version on this website or then send it where it is supposed to go. 

To do this, the need for more storage comes into play.

Hi Yes you can get more strorage with the hosted option and there are many work arounds to the block size see the error 122 thread in this forum.

Hello everyone I need a quick answer to a stupid question,how do I access uploaded files to change permissions?
