Setting up Internet access
Before you can use GoLive to connect to a publish server, you may need to customize your network settings to access the Internet. For example, your Internet service provider (ISP) may require you to use a proxy server for security reasons or use passive mode to work with a firewall that forbids incoming connections.
To set up Internet access: - Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or GoLive > Preferences (Mac OS).
- Click the Internet icon
. - Select Internet options as follows:
- (Mac OS) If you want to use your computer's system proxy settings for GoLive Internet access, click the Import Now button, and then select Always.
- If you need to use an FTP proxy or HTTP proxy, select Use FTP Proxy or Use HTTP Proxy and provide a host name and port number. For information, ask your server administrator.
Note: Select Use Proxy when you set up a server to ensure that GoLive uses the proxy settings you configured in Internet preferences. (See Setting up access.) - (Mac OS) If you use the system Keychain feature for storing passwords, select the Use System Keychain for Passwords option.
- (Mac OS) Keep the Use ISO 8859-1 Translation option selected to use the Latin 1 character encoding set, which encompasses the majority of Western European languages.
- If you need to connect to an FTP server in passive mode, select Use Passive Mode and click OK.
Note: If you need to connect in passive mode, be sure to select Passive Mode when you set up an FTP server. (See Setting up access.) - Enter values in the FTP Timeout and HTTP Timeout text boxes to specify how long GoLive will try to connect to a publish server before cancelling the connection.
- If you want GoLive to display details after an upload, download, or synchronization, select Ask for Publish Server Report.
- Click OK.
If you receive the message, "Can't connect to server <servername>. Reason: Cannot connect to <protocol>." check your proxy settings. Information on proxy settings is available in the support knowledgebase on the Adobe Web site.
