Uploading Web Pages

[Footlaunch]

I am trying to upload some HTML pages directly from LR2 and it all runs OK till it gets to the phase "building web photo gallery" where a box pops up and declares "an error occurred while sending the file:access was denied". I have already accessed my server through the process as I browsed a location to upload to. Is this a LR glitch or something I need to talk to my provider about?

How did you browse your server? Have you tried changing which folder you are putting it in? ie. johndoephoto.com/public_html/photos/newgallery
And your username and password are correct?
Mine is set to protocol:ftp, port 21 and passive mode

Lynn, Lr is not known for the robustness of its internal FTP client. It's fairly common to encounter an error such as you're seeing. Most people work-around with a dedicated FTP client*. Fiddling with the FTP settings as rcdurston suggests may help, may not.

*Personally, I'd rather work with a stand-alone client FTP, I feel I get much better visibilty of the whole process.

Thanks RC & Brad,

Stand alone FTP is exactly what I've done.
