Saving Documents

WebDesign lets you save files just as easily as any other text editor or word processing application. The familiar Command-S saves a modified document and shift-command-S allows you to save the document in another location by doing a 'Save As...'.

Saving Web Pages in WebDesign

WebDesign lets you save documents just like any other word processing application. The save menu item becomes enabled once you make any modification to your document. WebDesign also allows you to save all opened documents at once. Hold down option as you select the File menu to turn the save command into a 'Save All' command.

When you have opened a web page from a remote location such as a FTP server using the built in FTP client, WebDesign will automatically save the document back to your server when you select the Save command from the file menu (Command-S). A status window will open with your FTP login information that WebDesign stored when you first downloaded the page as shown below.

Upload Web Pages

As your page is being automatically uploaded back to your FTP Server, your document is temporarily disabled until WebDesign is finished.

Save to FTP...
WebDesign lets you save files directly to your FTP server. Just select 'Save To FTP...' from the File menu to open the FTP client then enter your login information, navigate to the location you want to save your file in and press the 'Upload Page' button as shown below.

Save Directly to your FTP Server

Save files directly to your FTP Server when working in WebDesign. Just select 'Save to FTP...' from the File menu.

Once you save the file to your FTP server, WebDesign will continue to upload it back automatically each time you save your file regularly in WebDesign. It will also update the local copy if it was previously saved on your hard drive.

Custom Save Options

WebDesign lets you set different options when saving files as you can see from the saving preferences options below. To modify the saving options select the 'Document' tab from the Preferences window. The following options, depicted below, allow you to do the following;

WebDesign Save Options

Save files depending on the operating system you will be using them on. Saving as Unix will allow virtually all editors to be able to read your document and allow your page to be compatible with virtually all web servers. You can save files as any kind of document by entering their 4-character creator code. The popup-menu provides some common creator codes that you may want to save your file as. When you double click the document in the Finder it will be opened in the application that you have specified.
