All websites are displayed with the
following website file icon: 
. Right-click over a website name and select Properties.
Select Web Server on the tree view of the WebSite Properties dialog.
Use the drop-down list to specify the server to which you wish to upload the website. If the server you want isn't included in the list then click on Add Site to define additional server information.
The Server Address is the unique address of your Server. The Server is the computer that you connect to when you want to browse the Internet. It displays your webpages to anyone who visits your website. For example, Elise might enter: www.woodnet.com
This is the directory in which your server looks to try to find your webpages when a visitor wants to view them. The Web Server Directory is most important, as it is this and the Website Document Directory that define where your files will end up when they are uploaded. The usual directory web server directory is public_html or www. Your ISP should have told you the name of this directory.
For example, assume you have defined your Web Server Directory to be: Public_HTML\Website1 and you have stored all the HTML files that make up your website in the following Website Document Directory in your computer: C:\Program Files\HotDog6\HTML Files\Example Website. Then when you upload your website all your HTML files will be copied to the Public_HTML\Website1 directory on your server.
For more details, see the Beginner's Guide to Websites.
Your user or login name is given to you by your ISP (Internet Service Provider - the company that gets you connected). The login name and password uniquely identify who you are when it comes to uploading your work. ISPs don't want just anyone uploading to their Server!
Your password is also provided by your ISP. If you don't know it, you will need to get in contact with them. Instructions on how to do this are provided in the tutorial described below.
If any of the terms above are unfamiliar to you, or you don’t know all of the details, have a look at the Beginner's Guide to Publishing.
The usual port number is 21. Don’t change this default value unless your ISP tells you to do so.
This time determines how long HotDog tries to log on to your server.
