In FP2002, ISP Server Publishing Problem

What might cause an ISP's server to stop publication and report that it
could not rename a .jpg file? I understand what the message says, but what
might it actually mean? I was simply publishing a new page, containing 4
..jpg images. After publishing 3 of the 4 images, (according to the progress
bar & text) the server discontinued publishing and reported it could not
rename one of the 4 .jpg files. All of those files had relatively short,
lower-case file names, like "ccstartpg1.jpg" for example.

In the first place, why would it rename the files? And what might prevent
the server from being able to do so?

I tried publishing several times, but always got the same result. I even
tried once with no firewall or virus protection active.

I shall greatly appreciate your help on this.
 
1. The server could be out of space.
2. The permissions for your account are not set correctly or the extensions are corrupted.
3. Files are publish to a temporary space and then copied to the actual location in your web.

Ask your host to run check on the extensions for your account.

Thanks, Thomas!

It's more than likely the first problem you identified. Those images are
large. Originally each of the 4 images were half of a page of a
long-out-of-print newspaper. I had to scale them down by dragging handles
to get them reduced to a size that would work for a web page. The image
files average about 2mb each. I'm not sure if there's any way to reduce the
actual file size in bytes and still have any kind of clear image left.

Though, I'm certainly open to suggestions. Maybe I'll have to find an ISP
that's better capable of accommodating my needs.
 
Scaling them down does not necessarily decrease the file size...especially in FP.
Download IrFanview (freebie) and use it to resize & optimize your images prior to Importing them into FP.

uploading 2mb files may be part of the prob too.

you could paste the image of the new paper articles into a word documen t,
then export the Word doc as PDF.
it might go someway to reducing the file size and still have a legible copy.
 
Hmmmm....... Very interesting. I'll give it the ol' college try.

Thanks, again, Andrew!
 
Thanks, Rob!

I'll most certainly download this and see how much it may optimize the
image.

Thanks a million, Rob!

IrFanview works great! It reduced a 2.x gigabytes file down to a much more
manageable 193kb. And, the reduced image looks terrific! That's
impressive! I can't thank you enough.

You're welcome...and I bet you can optimize it down to 25k +/- and it still will look fine on the web.

Hello, again, Andrew!

I've pasted the newspaper images into Word as you suggested. However I
don't know how to export them to a .pdf. I find no export option in Word
And the only Adobe software I have is the Acrobat Reader. So, I'd very much
appreciate a bit of clarification on that point.
 
You would need a pdf writing program, such as Adobe Acrobat, installed.
Adobe will let you make one pdf online for free. Or, do an internet search
for free pdf, and there should be some free applications.

The folks over in the ms pub ng recommend this one a lot:
http://www.primopdf.com/

I'm sure there are other free ones too.

AA: These guys will usually appear as Printers in your printer list...no exporting, you just print to the pdf creator.
