Changing file upload to publish

[dlholl]

How do I go about changing where my page is that I'm uploading while publishing?

I have just put my website onto an external storage device so I can work on my site with any computer, but when I go to publish the page, it uploads from my c drive on my main computer. How can I change that to my J drive where my BVfiles are?

Sure appreciate any and all help!!

Tools menu ==> Options ==> Folder

change the document & back up to the location where your files are.

Re: Changing file upload to publish

Hey Travlinman! thanks for helping; but what I need to change is the uploading part AFTER pushing the publish button

Publish button is pushed
small window shows up and says Publishing....
uploading:c:documents.........

then next little window pops up and Published successfully!

I can't change the uploading part to j:

Sure appreciate your help - I know it's probably something really simple and I'm just overlooking it. But I've never had this problem of broken published pages before and I've been doing this since 2005.

Re: Changing file upload to publish

Aha! You most probably moved your files from one location to another. I had something similar happen recently when I installed a new hard drive and restore all of my files to it. The other day I moved all of my files and incurred something similar. Anyway I had to reconnect all the broken links manually; this is the only way.

Since I learned the hard way with most pages I can not be 100% sure, but I believe that if you save your open file in BV to it's new location... Save As...select new location...save! I believe this also creates a copy of the image in this new location. Again, you have to play with it I am not sure. All else fails, if your pics in the old location are in a seperate folder you can copy it to the new location.

Let me and the rest of us know if this worked.

As for the uploading part from j:
did you initially open the file, you published, from j: or from its original location c
