Hi Peter and all
I'm just going to toss this out there and where it lands, it
lands. I'm not going to go so far as to say this feature is buggy.
BUT...
Long ago and in a far away place, when I was in the throes of
a Corporate setting, I tried to use the RoboHelp ways of
publishing. As I had FrontPage on my computer, I had the FrontPage
option available to me. I tried almost all options in the
publishing dialog and all (with the exception of File System)
failed when I tried.
I would like to counter this with the fact that in my
particular corporate setting, there were many "political"
boundaries I faced with respect to being able to access assorted
servers. It's so amazing to me how uncooperative and territorial
that different departments can be. It's a wonder businesses ever
manage to get anything accomplished (other than bickering between
departments) but I digress. I say this only to say that I didn't
really have decent resources available to me in which to
troubleshoot and see if it was a permissions issue on the server or
if it was that the publish bit is somewhat buggy with certain
protocols (such as FTP). I DID manage to develop a rapport with the
guys that ran the Web server, so they gave me a drive letter
mapping to it. But by that time, I had become quite adept at
ferreting out just what I wanted to push to the server and I just
forever copied the files manually and left the publishing bit
alone.
I sincerely wish you the best in getting it sorted and I'm
sorry I wasn't really of any help here.
Just food for thought... Rick
