Got the latest version of VSD...

Operating with Win XP - No problems in the past with VSD, except when a new version comes out, there is always a glitch

This is what is happening - I cannot update my webpages, because when I go to upload, VSD is taking the absolute path, and BUILDING that actual path...

Obviously that won't work

Since my home directory
is:

/usr/local/etc/httpd/clients/marylandchill/htdocs, I try and upload my files, and they go here instead:

/usr/local/etc/httpd/clients/marylandchill/usr/local/etc/httpd/clients/marylandchill/htdocs

Here is the dialogue I get when I test the internet connection with VSD:
Under TEST:

Server, logon, folder creation, uploads, downloads, file deletion, folder deletion - all OK.

Halp! The first path is the one I put under "SETTINGS" for the "WWW Folder" *sighs*

Why is VSD making a duplicate of the folder it needs to put stuff into?

web site addy: http://www.marylandchill.org

PS this happens every time - I have updated webpages, just can't get them into the correct place for some reason or another - any ideas???

It sounds like your FTP account is being dumped into the directory you need to be in by default, rather than your root, which means the path you've put in is redundant.

Try replacing your WWW Folder with a single forward slash, like so:

/

If that doesn't work, try downloading this zip file that Scott posted and running the Batch File inside:

OK figured it out - with the first version of VSD I purchased, you just needed to put the destination folder in - with the last update, you needed the entire path. Now we're back to just the folder with this newest version :-)

Thanks for the prompt reply as always :-) <3 VSD!
