Back| 5.5.2 5.5b Transferring your web site to a web server |
| Step | Instruction | What it looks like |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | After you save and generate your web site, choose Publish >Transfer from the menu bar. |
 |
| 2 | The name of the web site you are currently working on is displayed in the web site Name field. |
 |
| 3 | The Source area lists the transfer options. See the "Publish a web site" Tell Me More for more information.
If you want to transfer a specific file, you select it in the current directory listing. |
 |
| 4 | In the Domain/IP field, type the address of the server where you want to transfer the files. You can use either a domain name (e.g. readygo.com) or an IP address (127.0.0.1). Do not include the protocol field (e.g. "http://", "ftp://").
Typically, this is the URL or IP address of your web site or an internal intranet site. If you do not know the location ask your ISP, Web editor, or Web master. |
 |
| 5 | In the Login/User Name field, type the name for an account that has write privileges on the server.
In the Password field, type a valid password. |
 |
| 6 | Specify the FTP settings for making a connection to your server. Contact your administrator for setting specific to your environment. The default setting are typically enough to connect with most servers.
If you encounter any trouble using these FTP settings, the select the Microsoft FTP option (lower left). This option uses different FTP software provided by Microsoft. |
 |
| 7 | Click Connect to connect to the server. After you successfully connect to the server, select the directory on the server where you want to transfer the files in the Select Destination Directory field. |
 |
| 8 | ReadyGo Mobile will automatically create a directory using the name of your web site. This name is the same as the folder name that you used for generating the site. For example, when you generated your site, if you created a new folder called "site1", this will be the name of the folder created on the server where the content of your site will be stored.
If you have already transferred your web site and you want to overwrite it without creating a web site folder, select Transfer Directory Contents Directly to Target Directory. This option does not create a new folder underneath the selected destination. If you already have a "site1" folder on the right side (on your server), you can select it, and use the Transfer Directory Contents Directly... option. |
 |
| 9 | Click Transfer Files. | |
| 10 | Click Done once the files are transferred. This closes the connection with the server. | |
