Hi all,
Many thanks for the quick responses - I had realised the folders need
to exist on the server beforehand [I work for the internet company
that looks after the web site and manages the server *wink* ]But now I
know that it SHOULD work, we can start looking at other possible
reasons for the problem. Even putting in the exact path we can't get
it to go. Think it might be something on the server....looking into
this at the moment...... any other thoughts welcome... in the mean
time watch this space :o)
Thanks to all - nice to meet you!
Regards
Karen
Hi Karen,
Remember that most sites will have a root directory called "www", or
something like it, which the outside world sees. As Colin pointed
out, you need to have created your folder which you want your results
posted, say "results" using an FTP client or Internet Explorer works
as well. And let's say your file was called "frostbite regatta.htm".
So when you are posting (using my example), you would post to
"www/results/frostbite regatta.htm".
Make sure you have the FTP server name correct as well as your
userID and password for the FTP site.
Otherwise it works like a dream...
Go Colin!

Hi Karen,
Sailwave does not at present, create folders on your web server (or the
Sailwave web server). Create the folder structure you require
first, using
any old FTP client (e.g. Internet Explorer) amd then upload to those
folders
using Sailwave. I personally use the free FTP client called WSFTP.
Or if
you're a command line person, just fire off FTP from a DOS shell,
log into
your web server and make the folders you want. The person that does
your
web site eill be able to help I would guess.

Colin
