Previewing and Publishing
Publishing to the World Wide Web
WebPlus makes publishing to the World Wide Web almost as simple as
publishing to a local folder! Before publishing for the first time, you’ll
need to gather some basic information from the service provider (as
detailed in online help—see the note at the end of the chapter).
When you’re ready to publish your Web site, here are the steps to take:
Y Click the
3XEOLVKWR:HE button on the top toolbar to display
the Web Publishing Options dialog.
Y Specify the number of pages to publish and click 2.. WebPlus
exports the page(s) to temporary files, and then the Account
Details dialog appears.
Y Enter the FTP address of your Web host and your pre-assigned
Username and Password. Be sure to enter the password exactly as
given to you, using correct upper- and
lower-case spelling, or the host server
will not recognize it. For most Web
servers you can leave the Folder box
blank, otherwise enter the name of
publishing folder. Click 2..
Y WebPlus seeks an Internet connection or establishes a new one,
and connects to the remote server. Sometimes (for example with
online services such as AOL) you’ll need to use the service’s
proprietary log-on software to establish a connection. You’ll see a
message when all files have been successfully copied.
Y Now you’ll be able to see your page(s) “live” on the Web. Point
your Web browser to the URL that includes the path to the host
server plus the folder to which you published.
Y Congratulate yourself!
