Publish

Our screenshots are from Microsoft Publisher 2003. Other versions might be slightly different.

To publish your website, choose "File | Publish to the Web":

This will take you to Windows Explorer. To publish, save your web pages under "FTP Locations". If this is the first time you publish, choose "Add/Modify FTP Locations":

Fill in "ftp.domeneshop.no" and your FTP username and password i the dialog box as shown in the screenshot below. Click "Add", then "OK".

Doubleclick ftp.domeneshop.no, which should now appear under "FTP Locations".

Note! If your website is created after May 2004, the files must be located in a directory named www. If you have deleted this directory, you must recreate it. Websites created before May 2004, do not have a www directory.
If there is any doubt whether you should have a www directory or not;

  • Log in at www.domainnameshop.com
  • Click on the domain name with web hosting
  • Go to "Manage web hosting" to the right on the page
  • Go to "More info" to the right of "FTP"
  • If you need a www directory, "www/" is displayed under "Directory". If you do not need one, only "/" is displayed.
