importing problems

[vicki]

I have a new computer and want to load my website via the
import wizard in FP98. We will not go into why I can not
use any alternatives to the procedure.

AnywayGo to file
Import
type in my location of the new web page
choose a title and
it says 'time out try to connect to server on port 443'
Or
it says the i do not have a 'valid host or IP addy'.
This is the first time I have published since this is a
new loading of my program. I have tried everything it
will let me to try. To the same end.According to the help
the program will use the last destination or server that
was used - But this is the first use of this program
therefore there is no reference.
I am flustrated. Any ideas?

Use a FTP application to download the entire web to a folder on your HD, then open a web in FP98,
then select all of the content in the folder you downloaded to, and then drag-n-drop into the open
FP web in FP98.

If you use the import web function you will not get all of the web content, on the content as seen
in a browser.

Ok Does the new 2003 Word have the FTP I will need?
Also I thoughtI would try to create any web page and the
program would not let me - it acted as if it wanted it
import instead of giving me a new page.

If you are really talking about Word 2003, then you need to post to the Word Newsgroup.

If you are talking about FP2003, then no, it does not have a standalone FTP application, you will
need to use a 3rd Party FTP application.

I am trying to transfer files one by one via (to a floppy
disk)the export of the old computer to the new using the
import - there are no folder comstructed on the new one (
it wont let me construct too much of anything). I would
hope that the import wizard would do this. However, each
time I try to import - it asks for a server and then says
the server is unknown even tho the destination is the a:
drive. the program will not recognize the import of
a:*.* as a valid entry to highlight the OK.
Now I have just resently transferred files using this
program to a computer at home with windows XP and
everything went very slick. so what am i doing wrong this
time???

Do you have WinZip, if so then zip the entire web folder and the copy that over to the other
machine.
