MX

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.
Important:
If you have not set any specific page name, then the name you exported to last will be used 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.
If you have not set an export filename, when you first publish you will be asked to enter a filename.
index.htm is the usual name for the first page of a website.
Re-publish changed files only
By default Web Designer MX Premium keeps track of the files that make up your published website
and when you come to re-publish after making changes to your site, it attempts to re-publish only the files
that have changed. This makes re-publishing much quicker in most cases.
However Web Designer MX Premium does not know if you have deleted or modified files in your web
space using another tool. Therefore if you have any problems whereby your published site does not
match the locally exported copy of your site, you should arrange for the whole site to be re-published. To
do this, turn off the Re-publish changed files only
option at the bottom of the Publish tab. Then the next time you publish, every file making up the site will
be published, making sure that your published site is up to date.
Explore web space
When you have completed the FTP host address, FTP username and FTP password boxes, click the
optional Explore web space button to browse, view and delete files you have uploaded to your ftp
server.
You can view files and open folders to view subfolder contents. You can also delete individual or multiple
files. Select multiple files by clicking and holding down Shift or Ctrl, as in Windows Explorer. Click on
each column header to sort files using that column's criteria.
Scroll through a list of files you have uploaded to your ftp server
