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.
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.
