Ok, good news and bad news.

I now have and using Firefox instead of safari, but i cant open the link you provided above. it asks me to choose an app to open it with, firefox is greyed out

[iPod Nano]

Oh boy. Are you kidding? Let me try it.

[iPod Nano]

You have to do it in Firefox. Click the download link and it will install right into the browser.

lol,

it downloaded straight onto my desk top! i added it to apps, then dragged and dropped into the dock. Tried opening it and but yet again, bounced once then didn't open.

I must be doing something wrong (stupid bloody english)

Do you have any other ideas i can fail miserably at?

[iPod Nano]

No, I don't have any other ideas. I'm going to create a video demonstrate.

[iPod Nano]

Watch and learn

FireFTP Demonstration

Ignore the audio, nothing important there. Just watch.

Hi Chris,

Sorry to take so long in getting bact to you, i've been trying to do as you've suggested through out the early hours over her. Then i notice on filezilla that it requires osx 10.5 or newer, i only have 10.4. Thats why this isn't going to work.

Any other ideas?

[iPod Nano]

Yes, I am aware that Filezilla has that requirement but FireFTP does not. It will install as long as you are doing it from firefox. Use the link in post 21 to see a video demonstration.

Hi

Try deleting the 'http://' from the address you use to upload to.

I think this might be the problem.

Upload Web Site to: ftp."www.mydomainname.co.uk" [drop the quotes]

Cheers Mitcherooney

Hi Chris,

i understand now, thanks for the vid. Ive done it but it doesn't let me download it. In your vid you have another window come down saying about "add on" i dont get that window. I get the yellow banner saying cant download, than the page just stays there

i have to say i am so sorry about this! my experiment to try Macs hasn't gone all that well so far, whats even more annoying is that no one over here understands them, everyone uses Windows. Unfortunately i love the design and the way the mac operating systems work, they make more sense to me, but this is getting frustrating.

Hi Mitcherooney,

I have been changing and going through different configurations for a few days, looking at youtube etc. i've tried it with
ftp://www.mydomain.co.uk
ftp://mydomain.co.uk
//www.mydomain.co.uk
mydomain
www.mydomain.co.uk

and slight variations of the above, still no cigar!

[iPod Nano]

Web Design software isn't great on any platform. Extra codes and all sorts of junk gets added. It just becomes a mess. HTML codes might work much better!

[Mitcherooney]

Have you tried dropping the '://' and replacing with a simple ftp.mydomain.co.uk (ie no www (I got that wrong in my last post - sorry.))

Hi mitcherooney,

Thanks just tried it, no bean.

does host companies and domain names have activation periods?

I got them both early friday morning if that means anything

[iPod Nano]

As far as I know, usually there is no activation period.
