The final step in the tutorial is to publish the local site to the remote server. You should at first define a web server to which to upload your files and then enter FTP information. Site Manager contains an FTP component that will transfer files from your local site to the remote web server.
Steps:
Choose "File/Site Manager/Switch to SiteManager" to switch to Site Manager
Choose "Site/Define Site" from the menu bar to open the dialog
Click "Test" in the sites list on the left of the dialog to select it
Press the Edit button
Press the "Web Server Info" tab
Enter information about the web server in the box
FTP Host: name of the FTP host to which the files are uploaded.
Port: the port through which you connect to the FTP server
User ID/Password: your login name and password
Host Directory: the name of the host directory at the remote site
where documents visible to the public are stored (also known as the site
root)
Save: check this box to save the password. If you uncheck it, each
time you connect to the web server, you will be prompted to enter password
Click OK to close the dialog box
Choose "Edit/Preference" from the menu bar to open the dialog box
Enter information in the dialog:
Send Buffer: specify the send buffer size when you upload files
Enable Proxy Access: if you upload files through a proxy server,
enable the checkbox and then go on to the following options
