Publishing to the World Wide Web
WebPlus makes publishing to the World Wide Web almost as simple as
publishing to a local folder! The process uses a built-in FTP (File
Transfer Protocol) routine that connects with the remote server and
then uploads your files. WebPlus lets you set up multiple publishing
accounts—for example, if you have more than one service provider, or
want to publish to more than one folder location on a server. Before
publishing for the first time, you’ll need to gather some basic login
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.
If this is your first time publishing to the Web, the Account Details
dialog will appear; otherwise you’ll see Publish to Web. You’ll need
to set up at least one account before you can proceed.
 To define a new account, enter the information you’ve gathered:
 The Account name can be any name of your choice. You’ll use
it to identify this account in WebPlus (in case you have more than
one).
 The FTP address of your Web host will be a specific URL
starting with “ftp://” as supplied by your service provider.
 You’ll also need a Username and Password as pre-assigned by
the provider. Most likely these will correspond to e-mail login
settings. Be sure to enter the password exactly as given to you,
using correct upper- and lower-case spelling, or the host server
may not recognize it. Check Save password to record the
