You can make documents available to visitors in several ways. You can use the publishing wizard to place a read-only copy of the document in the Webpub directory and automatically add a link on your home page to the document. You can also use Windows Explorer to place documents in the home directory or in a subdirectory of the home directory and use the home page wizard to add links to the files on your home page. If you are publishing a large number of documents that already reside in one folder outside your home directory, you may want to make the directory a virtual publishing directory and publish the documents directly from their present location.
To publish files using the publishing wizardNote You can easily refresh the copy of the file created in the Webpub directory by using the refresh option in the publishing wizard. You can also edit the file description at a later time.
