I am a Terrablogs user, specifically Baltiblogs.

They have MT Version 2.661, so I don't even know if it's still being supported.

I see that Google Docs allows you to upload documents from there, to blogs.

The instructions say to specify

http://YOURBLOG/PATH/TO/mt-xmlrpc.cgi

as the MT API for the upload.

When I specify

http://myblog.baltiblogs.com/PATH/TO/mt-xmlrpc.cgi

I get errors.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is this a feature that's not supported in the MT installation that I'm working with?

Does mt-xmlrpc.cgi exist on that path?

You should also have to specify a username and a password

I honestly don't know the answer to the first question? How can I determine if it does?

I supply my username and password.

Thank you.

Are you literally specifying that?
The /PATH/TO/ section means your path to the mt-xmlrpc.cgi file, as in whatever will end up working on your server, since Google can't know where you decided to install MT.
If you access MT at http://myblog.baltiblogs.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt.cgi, then your mt-xmlrpc.cgi file is in that same directory; just change the filename: http://myblog.baltiblogs.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt.cgi
Adjust as necessary.

Thanks for helping. I think that I finally found an answer to my question:
