If you are willing to spend a bit of cash or take a rather piratical
route, you can use Dreamweaver to publish directly to your site.
Dreamweaver also has the benefits of being able to visually lay out the
webpage.

For a free solution, this is a decent guide to setting up an FTP share
as a local drive on OS X Snow Leopard using MacFUSE.

Hope

this helps,

SeaMonkey 2.0.6 in Composer : Edit > Publishing Site Settings...

That what you are looking for? I use it to update a simple HTML
page of links via FTP.

The SeaMonkey team is not a company, just a group of individuals
working voluntarily (with the aid of Mozilla) to continue the suite
formerly known as Netscape and then the Mozilla Suite.

Where did you complain?


Follow-ups set to comp.sys.mac.apps

I've been using Dreamweaver for a few years now and it really makes
getting a half decent website going a lot faster than it would be
otherwise. The method described in the article is different from
WebDAV in that it's not using the HTTP protocol. I've never had much
luck with WebDAV and I did not want to wish that possibility of
frustration upon you. I've found MacFUSE to be a much more reliable in
other applications (working with my linux system files upon a total OS
failure).

Good luck and happy web paging! :D

A less expensive (though less powerful) alternative to Dreamweaver is
the shareware program Page Spinner. It has some tools to make some
things easier, it lets yu view your page in the browser of yur choice
(or its built-in viewer), and has FTP.

I think you may be wasting your time suggesting such sensible things to
John.

He's made it clear he doesn't want to spend even a small amount of money
to buy Rapidweaver or Sandvox or Pagespinner -- all of which are
available for less than $100 ($79, $57 and $29 respectively).

Instead, he wants to use free tools, lots of his apparently free time,
and ignore lots of great free advice here.

John - just buy a decent software package and stop wasting all of our
time.
