Setting up access
To connect to a publish server, you need to know the server address and other values. When you enter the values, you can connect to the server immediately or save the values for reuse. You can set up a list of publish servers available to the application, and then specify one or more of them for your site. If you change information about a publish server, GoLive updates every site that uses it. Important: Before you set up access, make sure that you have TCP/IP networking set up properly on your computer. Consult your computer's Help for details.
To set up a publish server: - Choose Edit > Server (Windows) or GoLive > Server (Mac OS).
- Click New in the Edit Publish Server dialog box.
- Type a name in the Nickname text box. This prevents confusion if you add more servers to the available servers list.
- Choose a protocol from the Protocol menu:
- File publishes files to folders on your local file system or on your network.
- FTP transfers files via FTP to a publish server.
- HTTP transfers WebDAV files to a WebDAV server.
- If you chose File from the Protocol menu, browse or type the path to the directory to which you want to transfer files, and then click OK.
- If you chose FTP or HTTP from the Protocol menu, do all of the following, using values provided by the publish server administrator, and then click OK:
- Type an address in the Server text box (don't include the protocol).
- Type a path name in the Directory text box (click the Browse button to browse to your directory on the server). If your access privileges on an FTP server are limited to your personal folder, you may be able to leave the text box blank.
- Type a user ID in the Username text box.
- Type a password in the Password text box. Select Save if you want GoLive to save the password.
- If necessary, select FTP options:
- Select Use Passive Mode if the FTP server is protected by a firewall.
- Keep the Use ISO 8859-1 Translation option (Mac OS only) selected to use the Latin 1 character encoding set, which encompasses the majority of Western European languages.
To specify a publish server for a site: - Open a site.
- Do one of the following:
- Click the Site Settings button
on the toolbar, and select Publish Server. - Choose Site > Settings, and select Publish Server.
- Select a server.
- Click OK. The server you set up becomes the current server for the site--the server you connect to when you click the Connect to Publish Server button
on the toolbar. Note: If no server is available, click Add and select a server from the Select Publish Server dialog box. If there are no servers listed, click New and follow the instructions in the preceding steps for setting up a connection to a publish server.
