option "File" > "Publish Website
".
1.
Web Designer Premium displays a dialog confirming that you want to publish to the server and
username you have provided. Click Publish.
2.
If you haven't exported your website yet, Web Designer Premium prompts you to export your
site to your local disc and displays the Export dialog.
3.
Choose a folder to which to export your website data. If you haven't yet defined a folder, simply
select an existing folder or create a new folder and select it. Then click on Export.
Important
: If you have not set any specific page names in the Page & Layer Gallery, then the name you exported to
last will be used as the basis for all the pages in your website. E.g., if you open a template website, and
export this as 'test' to your file system, and now publish this, it will be published as test.htm to your web
server, and all additional pages will be test_2.htm, test_3.htm etc.
index.htm is the usual name for the first page of a website.
Transferring data
1.
After you have clicked Export (or Publish), Web Designer Premium displays a small window
that shows the progress of data transmission.
2.
As soon as the transfer is finished, you can open a browser window and navigate to the URL of
your published website. MAGIX Online World users can open their website via their Online
World web address: http://yourname.magix.net/public.
Note
: If you entered a sub-folder in the Publish tab of the Web Properties dialog, your website is saved there.
See the Web Properties Dialog chapter
for full details on how to use this dialog.
Note:
Many web servers use case-sensitive filenames. So, for example, the web address
xara.com/products.htm is not the same thing as xara.com/Products.htm. To reduce confusion and the
likelihood of errors Web Designer Premium enforces that all page names are all lower-case and contain
only allowable characters. This means that spaces are not allowed in page names. We suggest using an
underscore as an alternative separator.
