The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Web Publishing Wizard, version 1.6 for Windows 98
-
Microsoft Web Publishing Wizard version 1.6 for Windows 95
SYMPTOMS
When you use Web Publishing Wizard to publish pages to your America
Online (AOL) account, and you use a path for your Web page that specifies a sub-folder under your screen name (such as "members.aol.com/your screen name/test, the page may be published to
the members.aol.com/your screen name folder.
This may result in previously published Web pages in this folder being damaged when files are overwritten.
RESOLUTION
To work around this issue:
- Connect to AOL, and verify that you have already created a sub-folder by using the AOL FTP tool.
- Start Web Publishing Wizard, and then click Next in the "Publish your Files on the Web" dialog box.
- Type an appropriate name in the Name the Web Server box. Note that you may want to use the name of
the sub-folder. Click Next.
- In the Specify the URL and Directory box,
type aol.com/sub-folder name, where sub-folder name is the appropriate folder name. Click Next.
NOTE: The "members" portion or your user name is omitted from the path of the server (members.aol.com), as is your screen name.
- When you are prompted to enter a user name and password, use your screen name and password, and then click Next.
- If you receive a "Specify a Connection Method" message, click Next, click FTP in the Select Your Connection Method box, and then click Next.
- Note that in the Specify the FTP Server and Subfolder box, the FTP server name appears as "aol.com", and the AOL screen name does not appear anywhere. Also, the sub-folder shown is the sub-folder under the screen name where this page will be published. Replace aol.com with members.aol.com, and the page will be published to the following Web address:
http://members.aol.com/screen name/sub-folder name
Click Next, and then click Finish.
