Does anyone use Blogger and FTP to their site?

[Cash]

I just recently switched page hosts to Powweb, and as of yet my actual page (www.cashism.org) has not started propagating yet. I use Blogger to have a journal of sorts for my friends to keep up to date with what I'm thinking and what's going on in my life, since most of them live far, far away *cry*

Anyhoo, I'm assuming that propagation is starting, because with CuteFTP and with Blogger, I get pointed to my Powweb directory, instead of my old page host. I browsed the forum earlier because I was unsure of the FTP path, and right now for Blogger I have this as the listed FTP path:

/www/c/cashism/htdocs/journal

I have a folder called journal in my htdocs directory, which is where it's accessed normally (or will be when the page switches :)) With my old host, having it aim at the /journal folder in the path worked fine. With Blogger now, I am getting this in the FTP Log:

The pages archive.html and blogger.html do exist in this folder, and are supposed to be overwritten. The dated archive page is supposed to be added as it does not exist.

I've even tried having it just send to the htdocs directory, but it gives the same error. I'm guessing it has something to do with my FTP Path, but I can't figure it out because I am almost certain I used the correct path as listed in another post.

Does anybody have an idea as to what's wrong?

Btw, I apologize for the long post, I'm not sure what info was needed and what wasn't.

Hehe I am such a dork sometimes, the answer was staring me in the face inside the ftp log. I feel so dopey now.

I had the FTP path wrong because when it logged in it was already at the "/" directory, and I gave the path as if it was from the server root and had to find my specific account.

Sorry for posting the original question hehe, I had a feeling I got the path wrong when I asked before. It seems sooooo simple now that I know what it was.

So uhm anyways, for anyone who uses Blogger and chooses to let it FTP to your site, your FTP path is only:

/htdocs/
or
/htdocs/journal-directory/

Depending on how you use blogger on your site :)

You might also want to consider greymatter, and you won't have to worry about the ftp issue at all, and it's exceptionally more flexible.
