Uploading the entire site
line

You can connect to your provider's server, and upload the entire site--that is, all the files and subfolders that compose a site--to make your Web pages accessible on the Internet.

Note Note You you can do this task only when you open a site.


Tip Tip The first upload enables you to upload all the files and subfolders that compose a site. The second and later upload enables you to upload only files newly created or changed since the previous upload.


  1. Register the destination server. [Ref.] "Registering the destination server"

  2. Open a site. [Ref.] "Opening a site and a Web page"

  3. Select File Transfer from the Site menu, and then select Site Upload to start the upload wizard.

  4. On the first dialog box of the wizard, select Select the Existing Profile, and select a profile name (normally the same as the site).

    Site Upload 1

  5. Click the Next button. The Transfer Mode Settings dialog box is displayed.

  6. Click the Next button to display the Select Source Files dialog box:

    Site Upload 2

    Tip Tips In the upper left field on the Select Source Files dialog box, Files Updated since Previous Transfer is automatically selected. Normally, do not change this.

    You can view a list of files stored in the site folder by clicking the Files List button. The selected files in the list are to be transferred. (If necessary, you can select files that are not selected, or you can deselect files that are selected.)

    You do not need to enter a number in the Estimated Download Time field. However, if you want to estimate the time required for uploading, enter your computer's modem speed.

  7. Click the Finish button.

    If your computer is not connected to the Internet, a dialog box is displayed prompting you to connect. After connection, the upload begins, and the following dialog box that indicates the upload status is displayed:

    When the upload is complete, the message "Transfer complete" is displayed.

  8. Click the OK button.

Note Note Homepage Builder regards files called by a script program, a Java applet, an external CSS file, or a CGI program other than the Homepage Builder samples as "unused files." To prevent this, you must, in advance, mark them as "files to be transferred. " After upload, if you notice that some files were not uploaded, mark them as "files to be transferred, " and upload the entire site again.
