Preparing to publish a site

Publishing a site
For the public to view your website, you must first upload, or publish it to an FTP or HTTP (if you're using WebDAV)
server that hosts your site files. You can publish your site directly from Adobe GoLive using either of two built-in
publish server clients: the Publish Server tab in the site window or the file browser. Before you publish your site, make
sure that it is clean and free of errors. You may also need to flatten the script library.
Each subsequent time that you publish your site from GoLive by using a modified-item or synchronized upload, any
files that you have changed or added in GoLive will be automatically updated on the published site.
Note: Though rarely necessary, you may also need to export your site before you publish it to comply with certain server
policies. Consult your server administrator if you are having trouble publishing your site in the normal manner.

To set up Internet access preferences
Before you can use GoLive to connect to a publish server, you may need to customize the network settings you use
to access the Internet. For example, your Internet service provider (ISP) may require you to use a proxy server for
security reasons or use passive mode to work with a firewall that forbids incoming connections.

name and port number. For information, ask your server administrator.
Note: Select Use Proxy when you set up a publish server to ensure that GoLive uses the proxy settings you configured in
Internet preferences. For more information about setting up a publish server, see "To set up access to a publish server" on
page 440.
