About Publishing and URLs

Every document and file stored on a Web server has a unique location on the Web called a Universal Resource Locator (URL). People can access a published document either by following a series of links, or by specifying the document's URL. The URL consists of three components:

The sample URL below belongs to a document that is retrieved via the http protocol, resides on a Web server named www.w3.org, and has a pathname of /hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/MarkUp.html.

http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/MarkUp.html

If you set up a work area as described in Creating and Publishing Files Using the public_html Directory, or Creating and Publishing Documents for Use on Another Server, Cosmo Create automatically translates the pathname of your project root directory (and its subdirectories) to keep all links intact.
