Connecting to a publish server


    You connect to a publish server in order to upload or download a site or perform any file transfer operation. Before you can connect to a publish server for the first time, you must set up access to it. (See Setting up access.) GoLive lets you store access to more than one publish server.

    If GoLive can't connect to the publish server, the Log window displays errors regarding the failed connection. You can use this information to troubleshoot the connection with the publish server administrator.

To connect to a publish server from the Publish Server tab:

  1. Open a site.
  2. Click the Connect to Publish Server button Connect to Publish Server button on the toolbar, or choose Site > Publish Server > Connect.
  3. Note: The site window automatically opens the Publish Server tab once you connect to a server.

To connect to a server from the file browser:

  1. Choose File > Connect To FTP/WebDAV.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Click Connect to connect to the current server.
    • Choose a server from the Server menu and click Connect.
    • Click Browse Local to browse to a folder in your local file system.

    Note: If no server is available, click Edit Servers and select a server from the Select Publish Server dialog box. If there are no servers listed, click New and follow the instructions in Setting up access to set up a connection to a publish server.

To change the current server:

    With the site window active, use the context menu to choose Publish Server, then choose a server.
