When I ask WEFT (settings are http://www.fomh.net) to access my site I get :
 
The Web page 'http://fomh.net/' could not be opened. The server may not be accessable, or you may have have miss-spelled the URL. Would you like to see the error message that the Web browser reported? (w/ Yes/No options.)
 
Selecting Yes opens a browser session that displays my home page.
 
No matter what site I direct it to I get the same error.

Did you mean to write ".../default.htm" or ".../index.htm"? A web server would map the url "/" to various things, such as a directory listing or an index page, an error code, or a redirection. WEFT want's the root web page of your site. It will traverse that page and find all linked pages.
 
Please note also that WEFT was written when the authoring protocols (such as webdav, FrontPage extension) was still very much being developed. You may thus have problems downloading/uploading page because of this, depending on what kind of server your ISP is using.
 
I would recommend that you work on web pages that are already located on your own machine, and then manually upload the page to your server when WEFT is done processing them. You still need to specify where the pages will eventually end up though (web fonts will only work for a given set of URL roots, to prevent them from being swiped off a server and used on another one).
