publishing iCal without an dot Mac account

[dnorth2009]

I'm currently in Tiger with iCal version 2.0.5 and would like to publish my family calendar to the internet, but don't want to spend $100 per year with a Dot Mac account, or whatever it's called these days. My website is dnorthwebdesign.com hosted by Sonic. I was hoping that I could publish the calendar to the rootfolder of my website but I am not able to do so. iCal doesn't accept my URL. Is this possible? Does anyone out there know of any workarounds? If not, can you recommend any free online calendars good for family communications?? Anyone ever try Cozi by MeadCal? Thanks in advance...Deborah

I was able to publish mine just fine, using my web host's FTP settings. Are you sure your settings are correct?

Try changing http:// to ftp://

I'm not sitting at my Mac at this moment, but I don't remember it asking for FTP settings, just a URL. I'll try it out later at home. Thank you very much for the suggestion. Deborah

I don't remember how Tiger's iCal looks. I'm on Snow Leopard.
