Hello fellow WHT members,

Long time reader, first time poster.

I have a client that is taking classes at a local school in his hometown and they are teaching him how to upload his site using Netscape Composer. He says they are teaching him to upload the site using the "put" method.

When he tries to do this, he gets an error, something like "not able to perform task." I was wondering if anyone else has heard of this method of uploading?

It sounds like it's not compatible on my server, so I'm going to try and find a host for this client so that he can continue with his site and trying to learn how to create it.

Thanks and look forward to hearing some information :cool:

That happens to me when I try to upload to the web space provided by my internet service provider using Coffee Cup Express FTP

I have uploaded using this software before, to this very account and it always worked.
Just last week, it simply stopped working and I get "not able to perform task"

I don;t think it's a case of Netscape composer not working but the web server.

Yes, most probably the web server doesn't support the PUT method. If the server is Apache you need to install either mod_dav or mod_put. Alternatively you can use CGI based PUT handler, see this article for more info: http://www.apacheweek.com/features/put
