HI,
My system administrator initially wanted me to design my
web on my own desktop and publish it to the server. That
was no problem. No we have several other people who will
be adding to this web and need access. So the admin wanted
me to put a copy of the "working" web on a shared drive
that we could then publish from there. I have tried
several ways of getting the web to the working area onthe
sharied drive. 1) Importing from the web. Problem here is
that the web has a number of virtual directories so they
all start getting sucked into the working web and we don't
want them there. 2) Copying all the files from my working
copy to the shared drive including hidden files. 3)
Publishing from the live web back to the working copy
area. In all cases when I try to publish from the new
working area to the actual web server I have some
problems.
First even though it I am the same person who created the
originial and copy of the web The publish command acts
like I am different person and asks if I want to write
over all the files. I have tried different settings on
the publish like use only changed files and selected
dates. But it wants to do all the files. I can accept
this, but know it will take a long time. BUT THEN I HAVE
THE NEXT MAJOR PROBLEM. I get an error that says the
server cannot access the file ".Thumbs.db.tmp" I have no
idea what this file is. I have done a search and cannot
find it.
Any one have and idea about the error or should I be
transferring the web in a different manor?
THanks.
