Publish your pages with the Web Publishing Wizard
Now that you have located a host for your site and decided what it will be called, it�s time to publish it. This means copying the pages from your computer to our server that will host them. The Web Publishing Wizard automates this process. Before posting pages to the server using the Web Publishing Wizard, you�ll need to know the following information about your hosting account:
- The Web server IP (The webserver IP address is included in your account confirmation)
- The posting method, you may use either HTTP or FTP, we recommend FTP as this method is more reliable and a bit faster than HTTP.
- Your user login name and password.
- The location of your Web pages on the Web server (this is the directory location that you will publish to and it will always be / unless your publishing to a subweb. ( / is simply the root directory where your index page will go and is the home directory you always initially login to when publishing) .
Once you have gathered the above information, follow these steps to start the Web Publishing Wizard:
(If your using Windows 95 or NT 4.0 you can download FrontPage Web Publishing Wizard Here)
- Click the Start, Programs, Accessories, Internet Tools.
- Select Web Publishing Wizard. The wizard will guide you step-by-step through the process of publishing your pages.
