Seems to be a simpler way than PHPiCalendar when one wishes to simply publish one's iCal calendar on a website.
OTOH, PHPiCalendar, that requires both some setting up / ftp upload and and a web host that accepts to run PHP scripts, ... is free and *very* powerful (e. g. the resulting site is able to generate on-the-fly all sorts of calendar view -day, week, month, years... with whichever number of calendars that one simultaneously chooses), and supports iCal publishing without webdav.
As often: simple, fast and limited vs complex and powerful?
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"?

(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!
