Publisher website won't upload

thank you for getting back.
..
--Publisher 2003
--home use
--trying to upload to EZPublishing
--when we go to File/Publish to the Web (in publisher), we either get:
a. unable to find site
b. can't make connection due to firewall

when we undo firewalls on our pc, there's no difference.

we tried uploading via FTP, but that's too complicated.

we'd rather not buy Frontpage, but don't seem to have any options...

thanks for any info/suggestions.

there are ftp and http directions at
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=33" target="_blank">http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=33</a>

if your destination server has FrontPage extensions installed (this has
nothing to do with you owning FP!) on the server then I recommend you use
the http method.

For either method have you verified that you are using the correct URL for
the server and protocol?

What firewall is being used? Do you have a router?
Did you try to publish after turning the firewall off and then restarting
the pc with it off?

Not enough information. Please post a new message with details including the
version of Publisher, error message, ftp or http uploading, which version
browser, which operating system, web host, etc. In the mean time read :

Prepare, publish, and maintain your Publisher Web site:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/HA100947601033.aspx

If you choose to use FTP uploading then consider downloading and installing
the free FTP client FileZilla:
http://filezilla-project.org/ It is likely to be easier for you. Also
peruse this page...read the instructions:
http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/documentation/

Reference: Aplus.net: How do I upload with Filezilla:
http://www.apluskb.com/scripts/How_do_I_upload_with_answer3668.html
This article has some good screenshots that may help you understand how to
use FileZilla.
