Set up the Web Publish Location

When you set up an account with a web hosting provider, they supply you with the details you need to transfer files from your computer to their computer.

Your web host will usually allow you to transfer files in two ways - via a web-based interface or by connecting from your computer. To set up web publishing in Jade, do not include "ftp://" in the FTP server box (this is for using the web host's web-based interface and will not work for connecting directly from your computer). If your web host has told you that your FTP server is "ftp://etc." remove the "ftp://" part. The name should look like this: "somedomain.com" or ftp.somedomain.com".

•	Open Web Publisher.

•	From the Tools menu, select Publish.

•	In the Publish window, select Options > Publish Location

Step One:

Enter the information your web host gave you for uploading files to your website.

If you do not have the information needed, ask your web host for the following:

•	FTP server (e.g. "yourwebsite.com" or "ftp.yourwebsite.com")

•	User name (e.g. "johnny@yourwebsite.com" or "xyz123bc")

•

Password

•	The folder on your web host. (e.g. /var/www/html/ or /www/html/ )

•	Port (usually 21)

Step Two:

Add a sub-folder for the web pages generated by Jade as follows:

Example 1:

•	My web host has told me to put all files in /www/html/

•	I will put Jade's web pages in a folder called 'properties'.

So, in the remote folder box I put /www/html/properties/

Example 2:

•	My web host has told me to put all files in /var/www/html/

•	I will put Jade's web pages in a folder called 'listings'.

So, in the remote folder box I put /var/www/html/listings/

Example 3:

•	My web host has told me to put all files in /html/

•	I will put Jade's web pages in a folder called 'props'.

So, in the remote folder box I put /html/props/

The image to the left illustrates how your website might be structured.

The sub-folder for Jade's files in this example is called 'properties'. It contains everything generated by Jade.

Step Three:

Test your settings.

•	Select the Test button (at the bottom left of the window).

•	If the test is successful, you are able to connect to your web server.

Tip:

Sub-folders have a forward slash (" / ") at the start and end. If you omit these, the web host's computer will not understand where you want to put the web pages.
