Internet FTP publishing, 1
Before publishing your site, you must first set up the FTP parameters. You only have to do this once and you can obtain all your parameters from your system administrator, your ISP, or your host.
What’s FTP? If you want the whole World to be able to see your Web pages (your personal ones, or your company site) the pages have to be hosted on a computer permanently connected to the Internet, a “Web server”. Maybe your firm already has it. Or there are many firms with dedicated Internet connections that offer this service for free or for an annual / monthly fee (we suggest our partner DewaHost,
click here for more info). In any case you will receive the “FTP parameters” that act as key for your web space (

Let’s suppose we have as parameters:
server FTP: tatooine.fortunecity.com
user identifier: test
password: XYty34
WWW path: http://fortunecity.com/carpenters/4343/ (this parameter is not mandatory)
Initial remote directory: / (this parameter is not mandatory)
Choose “Publish >Internet - FTP >Setup...” to setup parameters.
You can modify the data for the “Default” profile, or you can create a new server profile with “Add new...”.
Let’s create a new profile by using “test” as name.
Let’s insert our parameters:
As you see, the password is hidden with “#”. You can store it by using the “save password” box. This avoid dig the password every time you want to get connected.
When all parameters are OK, press the “Close” button to save settings.
