I have a site using a simple smartform. For some reason I cannot use the builtin ftp client to upload/update the site. It must be done manually using ftp client. At any rate when changing something on the smart form and exporting the site, which files are required to update the form. I know the page the form is on needs to be changed. But are there any other files?

Also, is there any way to send the form to more than one recipient at a time?

Thank You

What happens when you try to update the site with the built-in SFTP publishing? Do you see an error?

If the page already had a working smart form and you made changes to the form, you only need to upload the page itself. On the other hand if you add a smart form to a page which didn’t have one until this moment, you will need to upload both the page and the smart forms.min.js file to make sure it is included.

Not at the moment. You will need to set up automatic forwarding in your email account to forward to the other address.

It simply fails to connect. I have checked the settings multiple times. They work when using filezilla.

Any idea

It’s not a huge deal. It would be nice to simply upload from within bss. I setup a test site and it’s very nice to simply click the publish button. That way even small changes are simpler to make.

It’s simply enough to manually upload a file.

Thanks for the quick response

Those Filezilla settings look equivalent to what I’m using, and BSS sftp publishing works for me. I guess that isn’t helpful.

I will look at it when time permits and it’s possible I am missing something.

Thanks for weighing in.

I had to enable ssh access on the host site, and allow my IP. But if you needed to do those things, I doubt that you could have got Filezilla’s sftp to work.

That gives me something to look at. Thank You!
