My problem is related to that of Darcy, 12-01-01.
Am using MS Pub 98 to create my pages, then "Publish to Web".
It has worked very easily at another hosting company, and when I send the file to http://saturn.powweb.com (the FTP Hostname), there is no error msg. Pub 98 reports that the file has been posted. But the site remains "under construction".

You should be ftp'ing to your own domain, not to saturn. Use ftp.yourdomain.com Once logged in with your ops user id and password navigate to the /htdocs directory and place the files there.

Actually, you shouldn't be FTP'ing at all. You should be 'publishing' your web to the host. Also, when publishing, you point it to your domain name : 'www.yoursite.com' NOT to the FTP address that PowWeb provided.

Publisher uses the 'publish' method...just like it's big bro Front Page. It needs to set certain protocol during the publish mode that requires that the Front Page server extensions be enabled on your host. Be sure to check your Ops area to see if the extensions have been enabled.
