You can specify deployment settings for the entire project or for each folder in the project. The Deployment tab of the Project Properties dialog provides these deployment options:
Each of the deployment options is described in the following sections.
Relative to the Parent Folder Deployment Location specifies that a folder will be deployed to a location that is relative to its parent folder or project. For example:
Parent Folder: MyDirectory/ParentFolder
Child Folder: MyDirectory/ParentFolder/ChildFolder
If the parent folder's deployment location is ServerDirectory/ParentFolder
, then the child folder's deployment location will be ServerDirectory/ParentFolder/
. Child paths are calculated for you automatically by HomeSite.
ChildFolder
Relative to the Parent Folder Deployment Location is not available at the project level because the project functions as the root and has no parents.
Specific Deployment Location allows you to enter the exact path to which the folder will be deployed.
It is recommended that you use the Browse button to set a specific deployment location. The protocol for the pathname can vary depending on the location you choose for deployment. The following rules will help you enter pathnames manually should you choose to do so:
C:\MyDirectory\MySubdirectory
or \\MyDirectory\
MySubdirectory
).
C:/MyDirectory/MySubdirectory
. An FTP example would look like MyDirectory/MySubdirectory
.
Typically, the pathname you enter does not include the server name for the host. HomeSite automatically appends the server name to the path when you choose which servers you want to deploy to in the Deployment Wizard.
Note | If you do enter a server name as part of the deployment location, and that server is not chosen for deployment in the Deployment Wizard, you will see an error in the Results window. |
You must set a specific deployment location at the project level.
Do Not Upload specifies that the folder and its contents will be ignored during deployment. Do Not Upload is not available at the project level.
