How do I get my iweb site onto my Verizon site?

[nisenson2]

I have a web page that I did with the Verizon online tools. I now want to replace it with one I made on iweb. Can someone pleae tell me how to replace the Verizon one with the iweb one? I called Verizon support but they tole me they can not help as iweb is a third party product.

Thanks

I suspect that is not true.

For example, quick quote from

Playstation3 product support is outside the normal Verizon Support boundaries, but additional information is available through:

1)Verizon Premium Technical Support

#2 Without paying Verizon extra (Verizon Premium Technical Support), you are going to happy that I already know the answer.

See the info at

Transfer your site's content from iWeb to the Verizon Webspace using an FTP client such as FileZilla. You'll need to download your site data from iWeb via FTP first before uploading to Verizon via FTP. If you have a copy of the site stored on your hard drive, just upload the contents of that site via FTP to the Verizon Webspace.

I have been able to upload the iweb file to Verizon using host name "ftpmysite.verizon.net" but can not find it on my Verizon site.

Did you upload the website into any specific folder or directory in the FTP site or did you upload it to the root (highest level folder) of the account? When you try to visit your website, do you get a Permission Denied message or a 404 message?

[nisenson2]

I uploaded to root directory - http://mysite.verizon.net/verizonname/myusername

I did not get an error message.

When I visit my site I only see the Verizon web site I built using their program several years ago.

What happens when you remove your username from the address only doing something such as mysite.verizon.net/verizonname/ ? Also, when you were in FTP, did you see anything else in there or was the root in fact empty? Your old Verizon Sitebuilder Website should show up in the /username folder, and somewhere in the root of the account or in the username folder there would be two folders from Site Builder.

"What happens when you remove your username from the address only doing something such as mysite.verizon.net/verizonname/ ?" nothing happens.

When I go to the FTP I se the following

/.trellix_data/ - a  folder
/index.htm
t/index.html
/last_published.js
/orinnisenson/ - a folder
/robots.txt
t/sitebuildercontent/- a folder

     inside this folder is folder " /sitebuildercontent" and inside that a folder called "sitebuilderpictures/" inside that 2 jpg photos and a file called ".pond" That folder has 8 jpg files and 2 .xml files.

My web site is on my hard drive and called orin_web. I have tried placing in the "sitebuilder" and ".pond" folders , voa FTP, but still did not get it to publish.

I would suggest deleting everything there and uploading your site so that it's the only thing in the directory. In order for your site to show up when you go to mysite.verizon.net/username, your index file needs to be in the main directory.

Follow what somegirl suggested above, as it should help to rule out any issues. I do see that you have two index.htm* files in the FTP account, which definitely is not ideal and might be causing some problems.
