*NOTE: If your web address looks something like the following (www.amanaacademy.org, www.chattcougar.com, or www.yourschool.com) and does not include www.fultonschools.org, then your website is being hosted externally. You must contact the company providing hosting services to get information about publishing your website.

The following information is for individuals who will have websites hosted on Fulton County Schools web servers.

In the menu, click File.
Choose Manage Sites from the drop-down list.
The Manage Sites window will appear.
Choose New.
Choose Site.
The Site Definition window will appear.
Select the Advanced tab.
Under Category in the left-hand panel, choose Local Info.

Site name:
Enter a name for your site. This can be anything you like. This is will be for your refernce only.

Local root folder:
Click the folder icon and browse to the local directory on your hard drive where your web site is or will be stored

Refresh local files list automatically

Use the Refresh Local File List Automatically option to indicate whether Dreamweaver should automatically refresh the local file list every time you copy files into your local site.

To set up or edit the FTP settings in Dreamweaver, follow the steps below:
Choose Site > Manage Sites.
In the Manage Sites dialog box, either click the New button or select your existing site definition and click the Edit button.
In the Site Definition dialog box, you will see two tabs: Basic and Advanced. For the purposes of this FAQ, we will focus on the Advanced tab, since it includes more FTP options than the Basic tab.
From the Advanced tab, choose the Remote Info category.
In the Access drop-down menu, select FTP, once you have determined that FTP is your best option.
In the FTP host field, enter the host name of the FTP host to which you upload files for your website. Your FTP host is the full Internet name of a computer system, such as www.fultonschools.org.

In the Host directory field, enter the host directory at the remote site where you store your documents that are visible to the public.If you’re uncertain about what to enter as the host directory, contact the server’s administrator. Or, try leaving the text box blank. On some servers, your root directory is the same as the directory you first connect to with FTP. To find out, connect to the server. If a folder with a name like public_html, or www, or your login name, appears in the Remote File view in your Files panel, that’s probably the directory you should use in the Host Directory text box. If the URL for your site is www.fultonschools.org/teacher/rotan/ then the host directory = /teacher/rotan/.

In the Login and Password fields, enter the login name and password that you use to connect to the FTP server.
Click the Test button to test your FTP host, host directory, login name and password.
Dreamweaver saves your password by default. Deselect the Save checkbox if you prefer that Dreamweaver prompt you for a password each time you connect to the remote server.

In order to download a template using Dreamweaver, you must first configure a website in Dreamweaver. Click Here for a step-by-step guide to configuring a website using Dreamweaver.

Once the website is configured, click "Remote View" in the "Files" window (on the right hand side of the Dreamweaver screen). Select all files and then click the Green - Down arrow (Get Files) to download the template from the server.

After you download the template you must reconfigure the site to upload to your teacher/school web space. The only thing that will change in this new configuration is the information in the "What folder on the server do you want to store your files in?" text box. Here, you need to type the path to your webspace (i.e. If you are a teacher with username JohnsonT then type: /teacher/JohnsonT ).

After you modify the template you can upload your site to your webspace. Click Here and view step 10 for uploading instructions.

Simply type in the FTP address into the address bar of your web browser and log in. Be sure to type "FCBOE\" (without the quotes) in front of your username (i.e. fcboe\JohnsonT). You may then copy the files to a folder on your local computer.

FrontPage has a nasty habit of changing the name of default page on the web server (some non-Microsoft servers require the home page be named "index.htm"). This causes the navigation to disappear. Fix this buy inspecting the server for the name of the default page, you can adjust this on the local web and then publish the entire web to the server again (not just the changes).

Some non-Microsoft servers have problems creating "_" underscore directories. By inspecting the folders on the server with an FTP program, you can see if the "_derived" folder is present. This folder contains all the navigation button images for the navigation and link bars.

If you have "_" underscore folders on your web, the server might not allow these folders to be created by the FrontPage extensions because they are Unix system folders (if you can't see the "_" folders on your web, then select the "Tools->Web Settings..." menu item and then the advanced tab and check the "Show documents in hidden folders" check box). This can be fixed by using an FTP program to make the missing folders and then publishing again. The hoster can also add these folders or change the permission on the web to allow the creation of "_" folders.

Other errors are typically because of corrupted FrontPage server Extensions. The Hoster should uninstall and reinstall the FrontPage server extension for the web site.

If you are getting a server is locked error after aborting a publishing operation, the extensions might have locked-out publishing to the web. This can be corrected by deleting the "service.lck" file from the "_vti_pvt" folder.

If your domain hosting account has FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE) installed, you can upload your web site files in the HTTP Protocol. When FPSE is present it is recommended that you use HTTP exclusively, because using FTP may corrupt FPSE files. Additionally, the server processing functionality provided by FPSE requires HTTP publishing to deliver that functionality.

For example, if you have a web page form in your Publisher web publication that form will only be functional on the server if it's published in HTTP. Publisher uses FPSE to deliver the processing functionality to Publisher web forms. So, if you designed a web form in your web publication you then need to have FPSE installed (that's a host support function) and you have to publish the web publication in the HTTP protocol.

This article assumes the following:

With that information at hand and your web publication file open and saved and your internet connection on we'll start with a few recommended web settings.

We start with a visit in the Options. Go to the Tools menu, click on Options to open the Options dialog, go to the Web tab.

On the web tab uncheck the Rely on VML... option, and uncheck the Allow PNG... option. Checkboxes under Encoding and under E-mail should also be unchecked.

I suggest having the first two options in the Web dialog checked, but they aren't required.

The Organize... option means that Publisher will create a sub-folder for your site and all site files except for the home page will be in this folder. If you prefer a folder structure and may be wanting to expand the site and build upon this then you'd want the option on. If you prefer to keep it simple and keep all site files together then you'd want the option off.

The Enable... option means that Publisher will create a special XML file on the server that is used to keep track of your pages. At a later time when you make a modification to the web publication and need to publish it again, Publisher will use this file to know what pages in the publication are effected by the modification and only upload those files rather then the entire publication.

If you have a small site or if you plan to make changes that are across the publication, the use of the Enable option would be unnecessary. However, if you have a large site that can take considerable time to upload or if you plan to make very limited changes, then the use of this option can be a time saver.

Click the OK button to save the settings and close the Options dialog.

Now go to the File menu and click on Publish to the Web... You may receive a dialog box informing you that you need a Web host. As stated earlier, this article assumes you have such already. Click OK to close the dialog. Optionally, check the Don't show option to avoid the dialog in the future. Next, the Publish to the Web dialog appears.

In the Publish to the Web dialog box, click the My Network Places icon in the menu.

That setting will display a list of your current Network Places. You'll now create a new Network Place to your domain hosting account. In the File Name box type in the HTTP protocol URL for your hosting account (this is not always the domain name so check with your host first) including the "http://" - for example: http://www.yourdomainname.com - and then click the Save button.

Publisher then locates the web server and you will then receive the login dialog box prompting you for your hosting account username and password. Input the login information. After it accepts your login, the Publish To The Web dialog box will then update and show that it is connected to your web server space.

The domain name will be shown in the Save In box at the top of the dialog and your server folders and files will be displayed. Do not change, move, or delete any file or folder on the server that you (or Publisher) did not create. Such files and folders are created by the provider and may be critical to the function of the web space they are providing you.

Some providers may state that you have to upload to a specific folder. If that is the case with your provider's directions and you see that folder in the file list, click that folder to move into it.

The file name box will already have the sites home page file name of index.htm filled in. All you have to do now is click the Save button.

Once the Save button is clicked, Publisher generates the html web page files and the image files and writes all the site files to the server. The time this process takes varies by several factors, such as publication size, the number and size of your images, your ISP connection speed, and the web server, itself.

Once the process has completed, close dialogs and close Publisher and then open your browser to your web address and test the site. If you have a form be sure to test it. Web forms cannot be tested in Publisher's Web Page Preview. You can only test them from the server. This is because they are a server side function.

That's all there is to publishing your Publisher web publication in HTTP.
