Problem connecting to site with PPAPI

I am trying to automate uploading of files from our local server to our
BuzzSaw site. I have been attempting to set up a VB Script or possibly
a VC++ program to do this. When I even use the sample VB programs that
came with the API toolkit, I just get the error:
"Error: There was an I/O error in accessing the server."

If I try connecting to a non-existent site, I get the error:
"Error: The username, password or site name is incorrect or the
PPSession object has not been initialized."

This means to me that the scripts get to buzzsaw.com just fine, but have
a problem with our specific site. Is there something that I am not
doing right, or does something have to be enabled on the BuzzSaw site to
allow access by the API?

I appreciate any help anybody here can give me.

1. Nothing has to be enabled specific to your site.
2. My guess is that you have done something wrong. You should probably be
trying http://folders.buzzsaw.com/sitename where sitename is the name of
your site. You would specify your site user name and site password.

Which interface are you using to upload -- IPPScripting or one of the IPPResource interfaces? When I've had trouble uploading files it has usually been because I've got something screwed up in the path or haven't setup all the variables that I are needed to make the IPPResource::Upload method work.

I have been using IPPScripting so far.  I have
tried it with the path
href="http://folders.buzzsaw.com/sitename">http://folders.buzzsaw.com/sitename

and also with the path
href="https://folders.buzzsaw.com/sitename">https://folders.buzzsaw.com/sitename

I am wondering if there is a problem getting through my company's
firewall.  Does the API use a different port than the client
perhaps?

Try using the following URL:
http://webfolders.buzzsaw.com/SITENAME

The Buzzsaw API uses WebDAV, and at present, you need to use this modified URL to access your site via WebDAV.

Good luck!

Thanks for all your help.  That seemed to
solve the problem I was having.
