for some reason, the dedicated ftp program i have as part of my webpage maker no longer will conect to my ftp site. i recently did upload some page changes (after the server change) and everything worked great, now i get some error that says "can not set directory to /workspace/". the comics have been updating just fine, however i can't ftp page changes and new pages.
just in case the signature doesn't work my comic is http://wapsisquare.keenspace.com

Try connecting to the root FTP folder, not workspace.

in the hostname part of the ftp program i have typed "username.keenspace.com" and in the directory i type in "/workspace/" or "/workspace/webpages/" depending on which part of the workspace i want to send it to. then i go to ftp://username@username.keenpace.com/ sign in and delete the redundant files, then update. i'm sure there is an easier way, but it has worked until now and i have no idea how to use the new ftp program on keenspace. i looked at it and felt clueless.

What prog are you using?

What I'm saying is don't tell the FTP to go directly to "workspace"; navigate there yourself. It's a long shot but frankly I don't see why this wouldn't work.

i'm using Web Express Version 4.0 it's a cheesey pagemaker but it has been good enough so far, and i know nothing about html and outside of desktop stuff, basically computer ignorant

Hey everyone :smile:
I was able to access via FTP through the new local ftp site. So far so good.
:grin: Big thanks go out to Scott and Kelly! :grin:
