[K12OSN] NVU Site Manager

[Huck]

egads!!! finally...
the transparent proxy deal works fine I guess...
I was having the hanging indefinately and thought it was a
"squid/dansguardian" issue...
apparently no proxy settings required.  yahoo! wonderific...
I honestly don't understand how people can build any sort of a valid
arguement against open source =)
the tools, and software available are just awesome!!! even if it does
take some tweaking to make it work...
I suppose windows can just say "our software is for idiots"  plug it
in...and let it take you for a ride.
and Open source says "warning, you might have to THINK to use this
product, be forewarned" =)

I have never used the software before but I just pulled up a screenshot
of the software from their site to see what you are talking about. After
looking at the "Publishing address (e.g.:
'ftp://ftp.myisp.com/myusername'):" section and also seeing that there
is login information below I may have an idea.  It looks like you should
treat it like a normail ftp client, give it the domain in the Publishing
address section and the logon credentials in the Login Information
section.  So if ftp://username:password@ftp.yourdomain.com works in a
Firefox then the Publishing address would be ftp://ftp.yourdomain.com
and the Login information would be Username: username and Password:
password.  You may want to try and see if that works quick (if you
haven't already).  Now if inside that folder you have a public_html
folder that the files have to reside in and you are unable to navigate
there manually you may have to edit the Publishing address to be
ftp://ftp.yourdomain.com/public_html so they export to the right
location.  

Good luck
