Since I've moved my website from .Mac to Bluehost, I have found this program to be very helpful as an automatic updater to keeping my website calendar up-to-date. It's very easy to use and set-up is a breeze. I do wish the icon was better, but I guess some people like their pets a lot. I have no problems with functionality or the small cost of the program. Well worth it!

It is not my dog (i have cats), it is a photo from internet.
It is a wink to Fetch program, one of the first FTP client for Mac.

I use (on a remote, non-mac server) the latest release of PHPiCalendar, which has the capacity to emulate webdav calendar posting (ie, the way posting is naturally implemented right in iCal) even when the server doesn't support webdav. Really, I don't need FTPiCal to publish my calendars, on my host non-webdav server. Shall I understand that FTPiCal is just a "nicer GUI"?

If you can use directly iCal to upload calendars, it is true FTP iCal calendars is not vital for you.
However, many persons have problems using publish.ical.php.
Moreover, here are a list of feature specific to FTP iCal calendars:
- upload .ics files that have not been created by iCal (for example when using filemaker)
- send emails if calendars have been changed
- upload calendars to several PHP iCalendars folders (imagine you manage a calendar for a class. You can manage a group of calendars for the student and one for the teacher).

Hope this help

How are you getting this to work?
In iCal I am publishing directly to the ical.php file with http://www.ejectmedia.net/ical/calendars/publish.ical.php and then I use my FTP login and password, and it just spits out this error:

Access to the calendar http://USERNAME@www.ejectmedia.net/ical/calendars/publish.ical.php/Calendar.ics is not permitted.

(this is an answer to Chris, at ejectmedia.com, whose comment is right above)
- the url you publish to seems OK
- the name (Calendar) is OK too (avoid inventing accentuated or complicated names that an ftp server won't digest ;-)
- it seems this is an issue with you log/pass, which to my understanding should *not* be your ftp ones, but the one you set for your directory on ejectmedia/ical/calendars in e. g. your .htaccess file. If you have no .htaccess file there you don't need any password (but this would mean I could myself publish there :-)
- if I remember correctly, you also need to manually upload the calendar.ics file the first time (the file you publish to *must exist before*, then next time everything will be automatic)
All of this looks complicated, but once set, everything works without you needing to do anything at all, which is great!
