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.
See Publishing your website
for more information.
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.
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.
