Select the Save details in current document
checkbox if you would like the FTP details to be saved along with the document. That means whenever
you load the document, the FTP details will be loaded too and you can re-publish immediately.
Save password in document
If you chose to save the FTP details in your document, this option becomes enabled next to the
password field. It controls whether or not the FTP password is also stored in the document, along with
the other FTP details. If you choose to do this, you can re-publish the website without having to re-enter
the password.
But of course, so can anyone else who gets a copy of your design file! Therefore for normal use it's not
recommended that you turn this option on, because of the associated security risk of someone else
getting hold of your document and then being able to write to your web space, potentially overwriting or
deleting your website.
Save in profile
If you want to publish more than one website document to the same web space, or if you don't want
FTP details stored in your design document, you will probably want to have the FTP details stored on
your computer as a profile. Then you can easily add the details to any document in future by simply
selecting the profile from the profile list, instead of having to re-enter them manually each time.
Click the Save in profile
button to save the FTP details shown to a profile. This brings up a small dialog containing an editable
profile list. You can either enter the name of a new profile, or choose an existing profile from the list to
overwrite that profile. When entering a new name, choose a name that will remind you what the web
space is used for. You cannot overwrite the standard profiles.
You can of course save multiple profiles where only the sub-folder name varies. This allows you to easily
publish to different folders in your web space.
If you don't want the FTP password to be stored on your computer, make sure that the password field is
blank when you click Save in profile
.
Deleting a profile
To delete a profile, select it in the profile list at the top of the Publish dialog and click the Delete
button next to it. You cannot delete the standard profiles.
Loading a document containing FTP details
When you load a document that has FTP details saved in it, the FTP details will be shown in the Publish
tab. If those details exactly match one of the profiles stored on your computer, then that profile will be
shown as selected in the profile list. Otherwise Custom
is shown in the profile list instead, to indicate that the document's FTP details don't match any profile.
If the document FTP details do not include a password, but all other details match a profile, then that
profile will be shown as selected. Also if that profile has a password stored, it will be copied into the
document FTP details for you. This saves you from having to re-enter the password each time you
publish the document. This behavior means that it may look to you like the password was actually stored
in your document! But that can only happen if the Save password in document
option is selected.
Publishing
Once you've set your Publish details, you can then select "File" > "Publish Website"
. Your website will be published.
