I am also a total newbie in working in FW, so I feel devastated… Any suggs. are welcome!

Can you share your site/page with us - a link would be ideal - then we might offer some advice.

When v6 came out, there was a whole approach developed on this forum that
dealt with how to update previous sites.
Does FW7 allow for concurrent use of 6 and 7? (obviously, this question to
anyone who may know or have an opinion)

For the first time in my history — due to your urging me to — I did a serious attempt to UL my site! AndI was so close to have a success!
But in the midst of the UL process, failure came instead. A sign saying ”we” failed to get in contact. Maybe the answer likes in these sentences from the FW manual;
”• Directory: The location on the server where your
files need to be uploaded. This may be at the base
level of the web domain’s directory (so it can be left
blank), a specified directory (for example “ht_docs”,
in which case you need to enter ht_docs in the
Directory field, or it may be located one or more
levels down (in which case you may be given a path
name which consists of different directories separated
by a forward slash symbol (“/”) for each level. Your
web host may refer to this as the “Path” in your
supplied uploading details.
If you receive “Error 550” messages when you try
to upload your files to your server, it is likely that
you are trying to upload the files into the base level
of your server rather than the specific directory your
host has told you to use.”
Here, I am completely at loss… Could this not be explained in plain english / more easy to understand, way…

Hi Arne,
Out of curiosity, in the Document Setup window is the Passive option selected in the FTP Mode picker?

SHOULD the passive option be selected?
I have tried all three alternatives…
With all the same result; ”Cannot complete upload because we failed to connect.”
The most crucial point in all of this, is this: ”• Directory: The location on the server where your files need to be uploaded.”.

More often than not Passive is indeed the way to go, but apparently that’s not the primary problem.
The name of the so-called “site root” will vary by host and server configuration but quite often (though not always) it’s named public_html. Your host can tell you the specific name, path and instructions for uploading.
Also, if you’re attempting to upload via SFTP vs plain FTP you need to ensure you’re using the correct port number, often it’s 22 but again your host may use a different one.
Are you trying to upload to the site root, for example, mysite.com? Or are you trying to upload to a sub-folder of the site, for example, mysite.com/subfolder/?

It helped me a lot when I first started all this to get an FTP Browser app
In the absence of that, it was also helpful that my server came with cPanel
web tools - one of which shows you the server file structure.
Server roots have a litany of subfolders and files, all necessary for the
running of your server. Web pages all go into a special subfolder - like
this… mysite.com/public_html
Here is a previous posting I made to explain this -

It helped me a lot when I first started all this to get an FTP Browser app - just to “see” the file structure on my remote server. Transmit -
And there are some pretty good Free alternatives too. Like Cyberduck Cyberduck | Libre server and cloud storage browser for Mac and Windows with support for FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3, OpenStack Swift, Backblaze B2, Microsoft Azure & OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox
The Download link is under the Duck.

the root (folder) issue was the crucial detail… I had for some weeks, started my attempts to make a home page, as a Word Press project… which was not my cup of tea…
If you go to maxilla.nu. you can see my disaster. Most dominate on the first page, or is supposed to be… had it not been for you guys, i would never had put it up at this stage…, never!
So, it is still a hard hat area…,
construction site! PLZ beware! 
an english version will follow!

Hard to tell without knowing what your FW layout looks like!
My initial thought is that your layout is too wide at 1200px but maybe the grey text box (top left) isn’t where it is supposed to be.

The other thing that is likely to be disrupting your layout is that you are mixing Table Layout and CSS Layout (Layer) items.
The structure that holds the image andreaskiss1 is NOT a layer. Change that to a Layered item and things may improve.

How can I tell the difference once mistake has been done?
How could you tell? (Very glad you did, of course!)
As for the page being too wide, I have to look into that also!
Many thanks 4 your points!

With your item on the page selected look in the Inspector to see if Layer is checked or not.
Also in layout view of your page a Layered item will have a Green border (Table based items are Blue)

Many thanks for your point on this! However, I can not see any green oct blue borders around different elements on the pages…
As for the first, black page, the images are menat to be well distributed evenly on the page like in a photo album (hence the black page).
I also have some problem w. the leading. As is most shown in page ”LeFort och ben”. Even though I have the same leading, 100%, the leading is still different!
I have also been trying to find the reason to this:
”Relative Page Layout Folder Action
The Action will be ignored on the following pages because they contain table based items:
“Om mig”
“LeFort & ben”
“Ögonen”
“Framtid & stöd”
Any help to solve these issues, are most welcomed!

In the View menu, turn on Show Outlines (I think that’s the name). This will show the outsides of any element you draw, whether you apply a visual border to it or not.

Does that include any kind of elements? You see, not knowing, it, but ”Show Outlines” has always been turned ON.
It is possible to have a links palette in the form of ”loose objects” on the page?
But, still the issue w. the ”table based items” I have to solve first.

If you look at the previous image I posted you will see the item that is selected has a Green border - you should be able to see that on your pages.
And if you change your sidebar from Site to Page view (to show all the items on your page) the same colour coding is used.

Thank you for this very tip! However, it works quite well in file w. only 2 pages, but not in my greater project w. 7 pages…
Which I send you in the HTML file.
