Publish to web is timing out
I'm a new user to Xara Web Designer. This topic is close and I couldn't figure out how to start a new thread. I've gotten site ready to publish but in going through the process, the computer says that it "timed out" when trying to upload to the server. The server was truly connected as a couple of files have been set up there before it timed out. Is it a firewall issue? Do I need to try sending the files using something like Filezilla or can I correct the problem without going to this measure. I have attempted to upload at least 5 times with the same results. We're trying to be hopeful........:confused:

Hello Andy,
Welcome to Talkgraphics.
It is unusual that a few files will get transferred but then the connection times out. This could be caused by a slow connection. Are you using a dialup connection?
There are other things that can cause the problem.
You can download XaReg from the Xara Xone. http://www.xaraxone.com/html/shareware.html
After unzipping the XaReg.exe from the zip file run the program and then click on the FTP tab. On that tab is a link to download DebugView.
Using The FTP Trace Enable checkbox on the FTP tab of XaReg and running DebugView you can get a more detailed report of what is happening.
First if you have more than one Xara program (Web Designer, Xtreme, etc.) Select the version you are using.
Click the FTP tab and then put a check in the FTP Trace Enable checkbox.
Exit XaReg.
Run DebugView.
Run you Web Designer or Xtreme program. Start the publish process.
When a timeout occurs you can switch to DebugView and save a copy of the report.
Post the report here and I will see what it says about your connection and any time out.
Re: Publish to web is timing out
I am having the "timing out" problem, and I tried to use Debug to figure out whats going on, but I'm not sure I'm using it right? I have Debug open, but it's not doing anything. I checked the box in XaReg that says FTP Trace Enable, but it's still not doing anything.

To get straight o the point that "most" people end up at completely forget the ftp ability (or rather non ftp ability lol) within xara and go and get a standalone ftp programme to upload to your site, I use WSFTP Pro which is a paid one but there are just as good free ones out there cute ftp I think is one just google free ftp psoftware I am sure you will find a selection.
I am no expert in the xara ftp issues but the general gist seems to be it doesn't work more than it does, for your own sanity forget that part of the programme :)
best wishes

Hello Bonnie,
Although many users like using a particular 3rd party ftp program the ftp feature of Web Designer and Xtreme works well when configured correctly.
Once you start DebugView you must also start Web Designer or Xtreme and then publish you site. DebugView does not do anything except monitor the process that is started after it is started. Until you start to publish you site from within WD or Xtreme it will simply wait.

Bill,
I tried publishing and it still isn't doing anything. What am I doing wrong?
Re: Publish to web is timing out
I may not have the right login info. I tried my username and password with the domain and it said access is denied. When I put in the ip addres thingy under host address it said it timed out.
I'm so confused and very frustrated :(
Re: Publish to web is timing out
Bonnie can you log into your site normally? Have you been able to log in before trying to use your Xara application?
Re: Publish to web is timing out
Let me explain.
I work for 2 businesses. One buisness has the main domain and the other business has a subfolder of that domain.
I have been able to upload a site on the subfolder using Microsoft Frontpage. I just took over the website for the business with the main domain. So I haven't uploaded anything on the main domain, HOWEVER, I have uploaded a site into the subfolder with no problems.
Re: Publish to web is timing out
If I understand correctly you have access to a subfolder and have published to that using Microsoft Frontpage.
You now need to publish to the main domain but receive an access denied message.
Have you verified with the administrator that you can access the main domain using the same credentials?
