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:
 Click the
Publish to Web button on the top toolbar to display
the Web Publishing Options dialog.
 Specify the number of pages to publish and click OK.WebPlus
exports the page(s) to temporary files, and then the Account
Details dialog appears.
 Choose an FTP Account you previously
defined, or to define a new account,
enter the FTP Address of your Web host
and your pre-assigned Username and
Password.Besuretoenterthe
password exactly as given to you, using
correct upper- and lower-case spelling,
or the host server may not recognize it.
For most Web servers you can leave the Folder box blank;
otherwise enter the name of the publishing folder. Click OK.
 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.
 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.
 Congratulate yourself!
