Important publish options


This section will explain the second tab -- "Page Options" of the publish dialog box in detail. This dialog is used to select where your images are to be published to your server, which pages of your site you would like to publish, and what upload options to use for your update pages.

  • File Names and Extensions
The File Names and Extensions drop boxes will display the names of each page with extension that will be created. You can enter a different name for each page and select a different extension if you wish.
  • Subfolder for Images
In the subfolder for images box, type the name of the folder in which you want to save the web page images. If you leave this box blank, the images will be placed in the HTML file folder.
If you are not sure what to type, just leave it as default.
  • Page Range

Select which pages are to be published. You can select the current page or all pages in your site. The program sets "Publish all pages in my site" by default.
Publish Option
When publish your site for the first time, you have to publish all the files of your site to the web server (contain html, images, etc.).
When "Publish the html files only" is selected, you can upload only the html files (not uploading the images, audio, etc). Usually it is used in this case -- only some text has been modified.
If you choose "Publish changed files only ", you can publish just changed files since your last publishing.
  • Auto back-up .wss file when publishing
When set, the program will create a backup of your site's .wss file when you publish if you use the built-in FTP function. In other words, a copy of your .wss file will also be uploaded to the server.
The backup of your .wss file is copied to the same folder that your index .html files are saved to. You can usually download your .wss file from your web server using some download tools (such as Flashget). For example, if you named your file "mysite.wss", then try downloading http://www.mysitename.com/mysite.wss.
You can turn this function off in the publisher under the Page Options tab. However, for obvious reasons this is not recommended. From time to time we get support mail from users who have lost all of the data on their hard drives due to hard drive crash or some other unplanned accident. Needless to say, an event such as that can be quite frustrating or even painful if one has forgotten to make backup copies of the important files on the hard drive.
