I am trying to test the site i built. The publishing attempt failed with the error prompt “Access denied to remote resource. URL: ftp://vinegarman.com” The test of the site was successful to the error it was supposed to be located. The site was partially loaded. This indicates that the input information is correctly entered. However, there is some glitch that keeps the site from completing the upload. Ideas? ---

Lawrence, Are you actually using the protocol, ‘ftp’; or the more conventional, ‘\*\*www/\*\*[vinegarman.com](http://vinegarman.com)’? Do repeated attempts to publish always fail at the same place? If so, would you supply more details, please? ---

This is what I am doing. The connection must be working since it tests well and part of the site is loaded. Something is keeping it from completing the download. Repeated attempt end the same way.

In the Server field, try “[ftp.vinegarman.com](http://ftp.vinegarman.com)” (without the quotes)… ---

Does it always fail at the same point? Have you tried without the ‘public\_html’ portion of the path? ---

Hi I’m having this same problem but the above solution hasn’t worked… Mark Sealey could you extend on your possible solution please? We need the help badly. ---

Hi, needing help, could you go further into the possible fix for this? We have had no success, the website uploads to a point and then stops. ---

Does it always stop at the exact same point, that is - does a certain file always fail? Two things you could try: 1 check with your host that your directory is correct… it may - for example - be only ‘public\_html’, or perhaps ‘www’. Get them to tell you exactly where you should be publishing: it varies from host to host; if it’s wrong, that might account for a partial upload then you suddenly fall outside a hierarchy for which you have adequate permissions 2 - try varying the protocol and mode… _sftp_, for example, and alternatives to _passive_, though I agree that passive is the most likely.
