General Upload to site question

Maybe it's time to talk to your host and ask him to fix it on that end.
I have managed some very large companies backends servers, from specing out the hardware to all the software and physically installing everything. My gray matter is 54 years young and nowhere in it can I find how the site can alter files. When you find out how this was done please let me know so I can file it away.
Go get Alleycode Free HTML editor wysiwyg - Alleycode HTML, Text, PHP editor , Free website testing tools install it and use it, your life will be better for it.

 

You double posted in the same forum post - spam software sees that as possible spam.

Do not use the cpanel editor as it is java based and is prone to errors, maybe some day in the future it will come into it's own.

To edit online use an independent FTP program like FTP Wanderer 3.0 FTP Wanderer 3.0 or use Allycode it has a built in FTP program.

The safest way is to "NOT EDIT" on line unless you edit on a regular basis.
Do your editing on your pc, then with a stand alone FTP program upload your file. cpanel is good for somethings and not for others. It was created to bring more customers in and has it's short comings. People want everything layed out for them in one neat package ie., cpanel

As you can see by trying to make your life easy and saving on software costs cpanel has made your life a learning experience.
But posted here are free programs which work better at no cost.

When you discover a problem and what tools are needed to fix it - it is wise not to go back to the old ways or the old tools.

I am hoping you dump cpanel for your editing and move on to building your website.
Have to go take care of other things - keep us posted.

 

Let me try this approach to old bad habits.
The comparision method I used to use on my employees.

We all have many tools - the question is which is the proper tool for that job.
It's something we face all of our lives, in everything we do, everyday.
Which choice we make determines the outcome.
It's that simple.

It used to be that if you wanted to remove a bolt, you would use the proper sized box wrench.
Then someone invented the cresent wrench, 3 differenet sizes took the place of 30 box wrenchs.
Problem was and is a cresent wrench has a tendency to round the bolt head and ruin it, not good.
Both wrenchs work...

Let's take those 40 fish, for this example I will say they are fresh water fish.
You set up a new salt water tank, but the new fish haven't arrived, so you take 20 fish out of the fresh water tank and put them into the second salt water tank. The fish will live for a few hours, because they are in water and water has the oxygen that they need.
Problem is they are not equipped to filter out the salt, so it builds up to the point where the oxygen flow stops, they sufficate and die.
Both fish tanks work...

Maybe an example about kids???

Which choice we make determines the outcome.
How we learn to refine those choices is how we grow.

Dreamweaver is powerful with a steep learning curve, for about a day. You need to learn how to set it up, so the files know how to link to each other, this is the hardest part. (this is how frontpage was set up - now called expression web) The rest comes easy.

Photoshop is not beyond you if you can use the other 3. It's biggest difference, it is set up for keyboard shortcuts.
Learn the basic ones and you will add it to your arsenal of tools.

 

You can always reduce a problem down to the least common denominator in order to take the easy road. That's know as working smart with the least amout of energy and that's a good thing.
But after weighing out all these posts here and else where, the amount of time, work, editing, saving, uloading, deleting. It turns out the path of least resistance streched across the planet to reach our destination.
I guess it all depends on how low you reduce the problem down.

I still use Paintshop ( I'm up to V10), Photoshop CS3 and Xara Pro4 for vectors plus a few others for specalized work or for a type of work I am use to doing with that software.
Never did like Dreamweaver but I'm trying to use it. I mainly use CuteHTML Pro6 and Topstyle Pro for css work. For FTP it's CuteFTP 7Pro.
