I get a 550 error in Microsoft Frontpage when trying to upload my website to the web.
The 550 error is a message from the server stating that the account I have currently logged in as does not have permission to perform the action.
I'm uploading files to the httpdocs folder...
How do I set the permissions on the httpdocs folder?
In the past, all I had to do was go under the file menu --choose Publish Web and supply my username and password. I would then choose the httpdocs folder and it would publish.
Now when I do those steps it begins to FTP and then comes back with a permission denied 550 error.
I re-installed my Office software--no help.
Do I need to call my host? Or is there something I am overlooking? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
I called my host and they tried a few things on their end..telling me that because I FTPed a large number of files at once and their server got overloaded and locked me out..they deleted all files I FTPed and had me re-submit my site. Now i noticed that some of my graphic images do not appear...and the fun continues :)
Thanks for all your feedback.
