Pages
OK, Lorraine, I have now looked at Google sites and it cannot accept HTML
nor can you use FTP. In a nutshell it is not suitable for Legacy web pages.
Can we first consider your concerns about your ISP's site; you say:
"couldn't trust that it would be completely private and it had little space
available". Exactly what to you mean? Are you saying that you only want
approved individuals to be able to access your site? If so it may be
difficult to find a site which will offer this (although that need not be
the end of the matter). And why is it too small, can you tell me how many
MBs it is offering, the type of your web pages (Pedigree, etc.) and the
number of individuals on your site?
Given the above information I will know what to look for.
Cheers,
Ron

Subject: [LegacyUG] [Legacy] Cannot Get FTP to Work for Created Web Pages
Hi, listers,
I have searched already the help, tip, user archives to help me get the
exact help I need, but am just not getting it right. Perhaps it is a
misunderstanding of the differences between "host," "ISP," and "website."
As I spent some hours yesterday trying to do it again, I am feeling very
frustrated and hope someone can give me step-by-step pointers. I want to
place this family tree on a website that is both free and has
invitation-only access, because it has many living people in it, and I want
the other family members from this side of the family that is not documented
to collaborate freely on adding their own data and pictures, as well as
information about their/our direct ancestors. I have a family tree for my
line up at Ancestry as a public tree, because those lines deal with people
not living.
My Legacy "create web pages" works just fine. I think. When I first tried to
do this some months ago (yes, I am starting from the beginning, again), I
set up an account with my provider, Cox Cable, for web space. Then I
discovered that I couldn't trust that it would be completely private and it
had little space available, and I deleted the account. For the short time it
was up, I could get the FTP to work.
I am using the Firefox FTP, because Mozilla Firefox is my web browser. I
have already set up an empty private web site at
http://sites.google.com/site/ that seems to be just what I needed. I think.
But then I could not connect to the site using the FTP. I ended up deleting
the add-on FTP, reinstalling it, deleting the account for the FTP,
re-setting it up. Nothing works. All I get is "unable to connect." I was
trying various versions of the website address as the host in the account,
both with the complete web address name and with only the root address:
http://sites.google.com/site/. Am I missing a complete step here?
Do I need to first go through the service provider Cox to *get* to the host
website at Google, or is the "website" not the "host"? I really hope someone
can help this unsavvy-in-tech user!!! I have followed the steps in the helps
from Google sites, from Firefox FTP, and from Legacy. It must be easy,
right? Or so many people could not be doing it successfully. What am I
missing?
Thanks in advance,
Lorraine
