================================================================ ==

The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft Liquid Motion for Windows 1.0 == 

= SYMPTOMS =

When you attempt to publish your animation to an FTP server, you may receive the following FTP error:

Unable to upload file: C:FilesLiquid Motion .jcz.

Error Reported: Can’t build data connection: No route to host.

Do you wish to continue to upload the other files?

If you click Yes or Yes To All, you receive the same message for other files.

= CAUSE =

Liquid Motion cannot publish an animation to an FTP server through a firewall (proxy server).

= RESOLUTION =

To work around this behavior, use one of the following methods.

Method 1: Use Microsoft FrontPage to Publish Your Animation
  Publish your animation to a FrontPage Web. For more information about publishing an animation to a FrontPage Web, click the Index tab in Liquid Motion Help, type the following text &quot; FrontPage Web &quot; (without the quotation marks) and then double-click the selected text to go to the “Publishing Animations to a FrontPage Web” topic.   Publish your FrontPage Web to the FTP server. For additional information, please see the following article(s) in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: Q181127 FP: How to Publish Your Web to a Server w/o FrontPage Extensions 

Method 2: Use Another FTP Application to Publish Your Animation
Some third-party FTP applications allow you to publish through a proxy server or firewall. Publish your animation to a disk location before you publish the contents of that disk location using a third party FTP application.

For more information about publishing your animation to a local disk, click the Index tab in Liquid Motion Help, type the following text

&quot; publishing animations &quot; (without the quotation marks)

and then double-click the selected text to go to the “Publishing an Animation to a Local Disk” topic.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
