For some reason I am having a problem uploading my web sites.My ISP has advised me that I need to talk to Realmac about resolving the issue so I guess I am now in an ever revolving circle trying to resolve the problem. I have no problems at all connecting to my website server with Filezilla but when I use the same informatioin in the Publishing section of RapidWeaver 8.4 I just get a Time Out Error. I have tried just about every combination in the Publishing window and just fail to connect. Yes I am using the correct Password. Are there any hidden connection settings that are not on the main connection window? Thanks Ed ---

Now found the answer. Publishing method needs to be set to FPS, this seems to have solved my problem. Hope it lasts. ---

Forgot to mention if you are having connection problem ALWAY disable your VPN if you are using one. This may be just a problem with my ISP but for some reason they need to “white list” my IP address’s and of course when using a VPN your IP is contantly changing during each log in. As I said this may just be a problem that I have but I thought I would share the information anyway. ---
