hey, well i have got a very simple website made in pulisher 2007, i have saved it by going to publish to web and then i can view it n a browser. so how to i then take the website i made in publisher and publish it to my site....www.changeit.nathans-hosting.com ...and www.petertoye.co.nr ( redirection)

thanks
hope it is clear enough

p.toye

Get an FTP client, enter the server details which Nathan will give you, upload to wherever you want it in the webspace, normally just by dragging/dropping.

Well you could upload the website through FTP using a FTP client like SmartFTP or Net2FTP to upload. Make sure you enter the right login details. For co.nr redirections you can sign-up here and then chose the redirect URL to www.changeit.nathans-hosting.com .

Edit: ayjay beats me to it .

thanka guy thats all great so far. but publisher seems to save them as filtered HTML files, smartFTP wants them as XML files. what do i do?

thanks again!

some rep points due

it should upload any type of file at all, what does it say?

On SmartFTP,

If you go to File...New Remote Browser...then login with the details you were given.

Then go to File...New Local Browser and locate the publisher html files.

All you then need to do is drag and drop from the local browser to the remote browser.

Hope this helps.

Jason.

name the file index.html (or .php/htm/asp whatever its original extention was) or default.html

Basically according to the server configuration, if there is a file by the name of index or default (with an appropriate web extension like php, html etc) it will be displayed first. So people mostly name it index
