PageSpinner has support for uploading the current document to an FTP server by using any scriptable file transfer program. Use the menu command File:Preferences:Web Server to specify the URL and password for your Web directory.
This folder contains scripts to be used with Fetch 3.0.1 and Anarchie 2.0.1 (or later).
The first time you use the Save to Web Server command you are most likely asked to locate Fetch or Anarchie if it isn't running. You should be connected to Internet when using this command with Anarchie since Anarchie 2.0.1 may have problems to launch if the network driver is not already initialized.
Select Save to Web Server… in PageSpinner's File menu to save the current file on the ftp server you have specified. The transfer are done in the background so you can continue to work in PageSpinner with other files. After the file has been successfully transferred you will hear a Beep - if there are problems the script or the File Transfer Application will most likely notify you by displaying an alert message.
The source to the scripts are in the files:
Anarchie Save To Web Server.txt and Fetch Save To Web Server.txt if you want to modify it or use another file transfer application. If you compile a modified version of the script you need to change the creator code for the droplet to 'Ps12' for Fetch and 'Ps13' for Anarchie and the type to 'APPL', to get it to work with PageSpinner. The compiled scripts should be placed in the folder named FTP inside the PageSpinner's Settings folder.
The text file FTP Server Settings contains the URL that specifies the current file server, directory, user id, password etc. During a session your password are stored in a readable format in this file, but the contents in the file are removed when you quit PageSpinner .
