Problem publishing site: How to reset FTP password
Hi ! I'm not too sure if this issue comes under this post , but my problem is this -
I've tried to publish, and after filling in all the relevant fields found that there was some issue with the password.
After acquiring a new password I've tried to publish again using the new pwd, but am not able to use it as there is no pwd reset choice in Web Designer.
So while attempting to publish , all the previously filled in data is being used, and there is no way to edit that data.
Any help here would be much appreciated.

Hi PSM,
Before you can publish you need to provide your FTP Details in the Web Properties dialog. See attached image.
Simply fill in the URL, your username, and your password, click the Apply Button. Then Publish.

Hi Soquili,
Thanks for your suggestion, but as I'd mentioned earlier - the problem lies with using the reset password.
While loading to ftp I am not able to use the new password as the old pwd is being used by default. There seems to be no option to use the new pwd anywhere. All I get is a notice saying that ' password not allowed '
Is there anything I can do to so I can use the new pwd ?
Re: Web Specific Publishing Info
If your new password has been supplied and reset by your host for your FTP login you only need follow the instructions given by Bill in post#9 (remembering to press the 'apply' button before you attempt to publish again)
The 'Password not allowed' error comes from the FTP server due to a invalid password.
Web designer has no role in the changing or resetting of passwords at the host end, it just needs to be told what it is in the Web Properties Publish options so that it can access your web space in order to upload (Publish) the files for you.

Thanks Sledger
My point is that I'm not getting the entire screen where the details need to be entered.
The screen had come on the first time and I had entered all the relevant info including the pwd.
But as there was some prblem - the host sent me another pwd.
Since then I haven't been able to use the pwd as the screen displayed by Bill hasn't come on.
When I want to publish, the server & username details are displayed ( the pwd is not ) and the only option I get is to confirm the server and the username. The only choice displayed are publish / cancel.
I do not get the choice of entering the pwd. Hence the problem.

Hey
The problem seems to have been with the " nut holding the steering wheel " !
Apparently all I had to do was go back to web properties and re-enter the data !
Hopefully all shall be A-Okay !
( I'm getting an operation timed out display but I guess that should sot itself out soon )
Thanks !

Re: Web Specific Publishing Info
Hi
Another issue has cropped up. The new error display is this -
1_htm_files:Permission denied
I've searched in other posts of a similar error & solution but haven't been able to find any.
Any help would be much appreciated.
