Most probably URL for website where publication goes not correct or FTP user's home directory not the same as path to the files for website. I can suggest you to check URL, FTP credentials one more time and make sure that when you log under FTP user into publishing server, after changing directory to Working directory you will be in the same directory where site files are stored.

If you select XCOPY publication mode, provide the following parameters:

* Host is an IP address, domain name, or machine name of the publishing server.
* Web site URL is the address the site will be available at after publication.
* Working directory is a name of the share on the server and the path to the files of your site. Do not include the name of the server into this path. For example, Sitebuilder\Site1
Working directory should be shared.

I have the same exact problem but haven't been able to fix this for the past 2 days. Can you please explain the steps in detail? I cannot find any documentations on SWsoft's website. All I can find is overview but nothing in detail. Thank you in advance.

I either get this error or the ftp error.

Details:
There is either a problem with connecting to the HTTP server specified in the web site URL, or the web site URL does not correspond to the specified publishing location

actually there are docs:

check this one
http://download1.swsoft.com/SiteBui...ite-owners-guide/edit_publishing_settings.htm

also this one
http://download1.swsoft.com/SiteBui...n-site-owners-guide/requirements_to_hosts.htm

this error says that the IIS site is not mapped onto the ftp account's hoe directory.

nothing to add to what Dmitry said
a matter of setting up i think

Did anyone get a resolution to this?

I upgraded to version 4.0 over the weekend and whenever I attempt to publish any site I get that error message.
