Publish password problem

I had to change my password to upload a web site.

I changed it in the web properties, clicked "apply" and then "OK". When I go back to web properties it shows the correct password - at least the correct number of dots where the password is - that number of dots is different than the old password.

However, when I go to export the site, the box that comes up still has the old password and if I try to publish the site it come up with an error message that the password is not correct. There is no other way I know to change a password. I have shut down and re-booted but still the same problem.

Does not make sense to me but any suggestions on how to fix the problem? - jb

When you changed the password did you click on the "save these details ..." and "Save in profile"? And the apply button [easy to forget I know from experience!:D]

John, those options are not available in XX5 - I opened the site in WD6 and changed the password there, doing as you show above, but when I go to publish it still has the old password. - jb

Edit - I tried taking the password out in web properties - it says if you do so you will have to enter it each time to publish - but it still shows the old password and there is no way to change it. - jb

I do apologise Jeb, didn't know you were using XX5. And haven't got XX5 on my new PC to check. If you're uploading from WD6 the options should be there :confused:

Hi
I have had the same problem today, although none of my websites will publish, password problem ??????
I can publish them no problem with other ftp programmes so not sure whats happening.

This is weird, I am having the same problem, it does not allow me to publish the site saying incorrect password, but the same details work with filezilla, this has just started happening today.

I don't know why but when I go to publish in XX5 it still comes up with the wrong password but if I continue it asks me to enter a password and then connects and uploads OK. Strange that several of us have the same problem for the first time today. - jb

Skech and Teebee999, there is a thread here called - Installed the Gallery and now Xara is complaining -

I just started having problems yesterday and yesterday was when I installed Gallery - did either or both of you do the same? - jb
