Upload Selected Files with FTP...

I've recently purchased CC HTML editor for maintaining my website www.knowsynotes.com.

I'm often updating a single html file and have been trying to use the 'Upload Selected Files with FTP' context menu option to upload the changed files. All my html files are in the root of my website but unfortunately, when I use this method, the file is uploaded to a /knowsynote/ folder on my website.

If I use the File -> Upload to Server -> FTP Account -> knowsynotes -> root method the file is correctly uploaded to the root folder.

How can I get the 'Upload Selected...' context menu to work the same way? It's very handy and would very much like to use it!

Thanks
John

Select the file you want and press F4. :P

It puts it into a /knowsynotes/ folder rather than the root. That's the problem I'm trying to solve!

If it's doing that then you have that file in that folder rather than in the root John. Take that file and move it to the root if that's where you want it to upload. When you upload with the HTML Editor, it only uploads to exactly the same place on your server as you have it structured on your computer so any files in a folder will create that folder on your server and upload to that folder.

Aha, yes. I had the root of my website project as c:\websites\ rather than c:\websites\knowsynotes\. I changed that and it's working as expected now. I'm not sure why using the 'File -> Upload to Server' option worked differently but I'm pleased that the F4 option now mirrors it.

Thanks!

You're quite welcome John,

It's always nice when it's just the little things and they get fixed so quickly. Enjoy your new upload option :)

I am a novice and am using a site designed by someone else who designed it and then left our company. I open our existing website project and see my files on the local disk and under my website folder. I click on the file I want to update in the Local Disk and use FTP to upload. When I check my website it has 4 of the 6 files correct but two of them are not the updated version. What now? How do I fix it so all of the files are uploaded correctly?

Do I also have to copy to Website project root? In the Website folder I downloaded to the S-drive as well. But 2 of 6 files are still not correct.

Click on the file you want to upload to your site and hit f4. Or select all the files and hit f4.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
