214 | Previewing and Web Publishing
• Any other special instructions noted by the provider. For example, a
particular port number and/or subfolder may be specified.
• Whether the Web server can accommodate spaces in file names. If you
find it cannot, then choose Site Properties... from the File menu, select
the Graphics tab, and check Remove spaces from original file names to
revise graphic file names accordingly when they are published. (If you've
already published your site, you'll need to do so again to fix the problem.)
Maintaining your Web site
Once you’ve published your site to the World Wide Web, you’ll need to
maintain the pages on your site by updating content periodically: adding or
changing text, pictures, and links. Making the content changes is easy
enough—all the originals are right there in one project!
Each time you publish one or more pages to a local folder or to the Web, a
whole new set of image files is generated (duplicate .HTML file names are
overwritten). GIF and JPG files can proliferate, and you’ll need to weed out
the old ones periodically.
• Within local folders, one method is to sort your Explorer or My Computer
window contents by date, then use the "Modified" attribute to determine
which files to keep (e.g., the set most recently published). For thorough
cleanup, periodically publish the whole site to a new folder and delete the
old one.
• To perform "housekeeping" tasks like file/folder deletion and renaming
on your published Web site, you can use the WebPlus Site Maintenance
feature.
To maintain files and folders on your Web site:
1. Choose Publish Site from the File menu and select Maintain Web Site...
from the submenu. The Account Details dialog appears.
2. Select your FTP account name (from the drop-down menu), your
Username and Password. Type the correct path in the Folder box, if
required by your provider.
3. Click Maintain.
WebPlus seeks an Internet connection and displays a dialog showing the
navigable web site's folders in a left-hand window and any selected folder’s
contents in the adjacent window.
