I am trying to upload a new site www.northcumberlandll.com in Dreamweaver. However, when I try to do a test on the remote site, I get:

FTP error occurred- cannot make connection to host. Remote host cannot be found.

Here is how the Remote info is set up:
Access: FTP
FTP Host: ftp://tseen.lunarservers.com/
Host Dir: public_html
Login:north86
Passwd:xxxxxxxxx
Use passive ftp is checked.

When I click the test button, I get the error.

What am I missing here?

Thanks,

I purchased the site a week ago Saturday, on 1/6/07. However, LP didn't send me the critical account info until mid week or so. Shouldn't it have propogated by now???

According to the FTP instructions the FTP Host Address is: ftp://tseen.lunarservers.com/ and they must be uploaded to the public_html folder. It also says that the first page on my account should be named "index.html". I originally had it named "index.htm" but I changed it to "index.html" because LP told me to. Does this really matter here???

When I go into c-panel the site is set up with a "public_html" folder. I will try uploading again, just incase the server was experiencing difficulty earlier.

Please let me know if the .htm or .html makes a difference or not.

Thanks,

As long as you only have a .htm file and not a second .html file it won't matter. It looks for an index page in a particular order.  I'm not exactly sure what that order is, but there is no problem as long as you only have one index file with an extension that is recognized - htm, html, shtml, php, etc.

When you set up your connection in Dreamweaver

ftp host - ftp.domain.com
your login and password should match your ftp account info

And passive ftp should be checked.

I hope this helps. There are some tutorials for setting up Dreamweaver with LP servers at http://www.lunarpages.com/tutorials/ check the ones for shared hosting, using Dreamweaver.

I uploaded the files in CPanel but none of the images uploaded. So now I have boxes with an "x" in them where the images should be. I still get the FTP error in Dreamweaver even after removing the FTP from the web host address.

This is very frustrating. 
Should the host address say: tseen.lunarservers.com/ or tseen.lunarpages.com/? My other sites have .lunarpages.com/

I would like to be able to create everything in Dreamweaver.  I have about 7 other sites that I have created in the same program that are set up the same way and work fine. For some reason I cannot get the images folder uploaded in CPanel.

I know this is probably something stupid. Do I have to start over with this site?

Thanks,

  I am pleased to say that I got the site up and running. The culprit was the (/) at the end of tseen.lunarservers.com(/) and at the end of public_html(/).

Once I removed them, I was able to connect to the remote site. 

Thanks for your help.
