To configure your publish settings, click the little arrow beside the Publish button and select Publish Setup.
Note: You only have to set this up the first time. Next time you are ready to publish, you can just click the Publish button.
Select I already have a web hosting account and click Next.
Enter your domain name and click Next.
Fill in the fields and click Test.
FTP server – enter your ftp address
FTP username – enter your ftp account username
FTP password – enter your ftp account password
Web folder – you can leave this blank if you like and the Test this account button will find it.
Note: If you are not sure what your ftp settings are, please ask your web hosting provider or ISP (internet service provider) for the information. If your ISP does not provide web hosting space, you will need to find a web host provider.
Click Test this account. EWB will go through some tests to make sure you have the proper settings and connection. If the connection is successful, click OK.
Now that you are ready to publish to the internet, click the Publish button on the toolbar.
The first time you publish you will be asked if you would like to save a backup of your website on your server.
Note: It is highly recommended to select YES so that in the event you have a system crash, you will be able to download your website after your system is back up and running.
Click OK when you are prompted “Are you sure you want to publish”.
You will see a status bar showing you that the upload is in progress.
Note: The first time you publish, it may take a few minutes or more to complete (on high speed connection). The next time you publish, EWB will recognize to upload only the pages that were updated or added since the last publish. Therefore, the publish will take less time.
