Publish a Web site to a location on the Internet or on a network
To publish your Web site on the World Wide Web (WWW), you need to subscribe to a Web hosting service. A Web hosting service provides Internet access and storage space on Web servers. Before you can publish your Web site, you should ask your Internet Service Provider or system administrator for the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the Web site where you can save files.
- On the File menu, click Publish to the Web.
- In the File name box in the Publish to the Web dialog box, type the URL of the Web or network server where you want to save your Web site, and then click Save.
- If prompted, type your user name and password, and then click
OK.
The directory associated with your URL will appear in the Publish to the Web dialog box.
- Double-click the folder where you want to save your Web site.
- In the File name box, select index as the default name for your home page, and then click Save.
- When prompted, click OK.
Before following this procedure, contact your Internet Service Provider or system administrator to get the information you need to publish to an FTP site. You also have to create an FTP site in FTP Locations.
- On the File menu, click Publish to the Web.
- In the Save in box, click FTP Locations.
- Double-click Add/Modify FTP Locations.
- Enter the information you received from your Internet Service Provider, and then click OK.
- Click Cancel.
- On the File menu, click Publish to the Web.
- In the Save in box, click FTP Locations.
- In the list of FTP sites, double-click the site you want, and then double-click the folder where you want to publish your Web site.
- Click Save.
Publish a Web site to a folder on your computer
- On the File menu, click Publish to the Web.
- In the Save in list, in the Publish to the Web dialog box, click the drive or folder where you want to publish your Web site.
- Do
one of the following:
- In the folder list, double-click the folder where you want to publish your Web site.
- Click Create New Folder to create a new folder, and then type a name for the new folder in the Name box.
- In the File name box, type a file name for your Home page.
- Click Save.
Note If your Internet Service Provider (ISP) requires you to use a specific program to upload your Web site, or if you are publishing your Web site to a corporate intranet, you may need to save a version of your Web site in a specific HTML file format and follow a different procedure to publish your Web site. Ask your ISP or your system administrator for information about how to save and publish your Web site.
