upload only the .html files with ftp client?

B

boywonder

I use aceFTP 3.0 to upload files to my halpcug pages. I have a considerable
number of pictures on the site. Recently, I updated the header sections of
all the .html files, and uploaded the entire site. I was frustrated because
the complete upload included images files and other things that did not need
refreshing. Is there a simple way you know of to do this with the ftp
manager? I have searched the web, and aceFTP forums, the help files and
cannot find one. I want to upload only the .html files [overwriting]
throughout
each folder on my website.

TIA

Why don't you switch to a terminal ftp client like ncftp, which allows
wildcards and other shell amenities in the filenames you use. Then you
could just say
"put *.html"
-- and up they'd go.

I suggest you sort the source file list by timestamp. This will put the
least recently modified files on top of the list, which should make it
easy enough to select only those for upload.

If you structure your site sensibly and keep images in one directory,
included files in another, JavaScript in another, CSS in another
(depending how many CSS files you have - I'm guessing that you have
none), and so on, then achieving what you want is easy.

You got me, I did a non standard way of arranging folders images in main
relative addressing easier, I should have seen this coming. I confess, I'm
just a wanabee.

You have several options, as other have said, sort by date, and you can
also filter by type (its the picture of a funnel), or a combination of
both.
