Are your GoLive files on the local machine, or on a network drive, or other? Anything changed recently in that environment? Usually it's a permissions problem (or possibly an invalid character in the file name).

(-43): File not found

Probably means you changed the name of a folder or moved the file in the Finder but you haven't refreshed the GoLive site window since doing so.

The site window isn't a "live" view of the files on your hard drive - it can only update itself:

a: when the site is open and the files/folders are moved in the site window;
b: when you use the "Refresh view" button.

If you move files in the Finder, GoLive needs to be told to look at the file listing and then update.

Warning: You should only move or rename files or folders in the site window interface as GoLive will then update any links appropriately. It can't update links if you move or rename things in the Finder.

Thanks chaps. However I could use the "Save as" command earlier and this has only come about recently. I can also do it on another Mac we have here.
The files are here on the Mac and then uploaded to the server using Vicomsoft FTP, very efficient and flawless. A new file (simply named in lower case and numerals, no caps, spaces or other punctuation) created on the other machine, then made fully accessible "read and write" for both users before transferring) is not useable on the first. Something's wrong deep in the bowels.

How is one machine accessing the files of the other machine?

What does any of this have to do with Save As on the first machine?

They are hardwired with Ethernet.

Don't understand your second point Janet.

Hi Colin,

What I am trying to understand is how you are accessing the files the other person made.

Are you opening the GoLive site that is on their computer over the network on your computer? If so, you may not have permission to create files on their system.

Can you describe exactly how you are working with the site, where it is located, and what experiments you have done with regard to creating files, either using the site window or making files in the Finder? (If you make files in the Finder, you need to refresh the site to be able to see the new files in GoLive.)

Your original post didn't mention any other computers, which does seem to be a vital point if you are working on a shared site rather than solely on your own computer. You also mentioned that this only changed recently. What happened just prior to this not working?

Hi Janet and others
Thanks for you interest and patience. The problem is fixed but the perhaps I should explain from the beginning:

In GoLive on her machine, my wife Mary found she was unable to use the 'Save As' command and was getting the message 'Could not save document OS Error (-43)' . She could do this earlier and nothing had changed on that machine that we were aware of). She only creates files for that site within GoLive's window.

As a work-around to expedite her immediate need, I set up a new GoLive file on my machine, with permissions cleared 'read & write' for us both, and posted it to Mary's site on the remote server. But when she tried to download it to her machine, she got the message 'Your download could not be processed because it was not possible to to create a file in the download location'.

HOWEVER it's egg-on-face time.
The site was originally created on my machine and transferred to Mary's via the ethernet. In doing so, we changed all the permissions ... except in one vital folder where I omitted to click on the 'Apply to enclosed items' option. That caused both the above problems.

Thanks and apologies.
Colin

It's sorted out, that's the main thing - we've all done silly things :)
