Publishing from remote to local

[jerrie]

Hi:
I need some help with a huge problem! My boss had put a forum on his
website and now when I try to publish from the remote server to my local, it
starts to download the entire forum. It won't allow me to choose not to
download and when its starts to download I get this message "Servor error:
Source couldn't send 'forum/cache/ctpl_admin_acp_email.html.php'. Once i hit
ok, it stops publishing and I get nothing updated. How can I avoid this
happening?? I can publish the changes one by one, but the site is so large
that I am afraid I would miss something.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Put the forum in a sub-web and don't publish to or from that subweb.

Thanks Rob! I will give that a try.

Ok it sounded easy, however, I was quite confused once I tried this. I
followed the directions according to the help files and nothing happened???
Also, in speaking to my boss, he was not sure how easy this would be. Since
he is uneasy about doing this, is there anything else we need to be aware of
once we accomplish moving the file? Here is a link to the website
http://www.customdynamics.com/forum/

What will my url look like once we move the forum file into a sub-web?
Thanks for your help.

the url would look exactly like it does now, only forums would be a sub web
and not a folder, forums would appear within your FP as a folder with a
globe on it and you would open the forums subweb by double clicking on it
which would open a separate instance of FP (but you would leave it
alone...you'd publisher to it with FP)

Converting it to a subweb may be a confusing and I wouldn't be the best
person to explain how.

Another, maybe simpler way would be to mark that folder and everything
inside it as Do Not Publish (you do that from Folder List) on your machine.
I'm not sure if you can do the same on the server...I think you can...try
it.
