Specifying FTP options

When you publish project, you have the ability to immediately FTP the published project to a Web server. Use the controls on the FTP Options tab to specify the following:

FTP Project To Host

Select this to enable the Host Name, User ID, Password, and Initial Remote Folder fields.

Host Name

Specify the host name or IP address of the server to which you are transferring project. Most of the time, this is your Web server. For example, www.lectora.com or 192.168.0.3.

If you are connecting with the secure FTP Server (sftp) protocol, you must include the "sftp://" prefix text. For example, sftp://lectora.com or sftp://192.168.0.3.

User ID

Specify the user ID that can access the Web server.

Password

Specify the password that corresponds with the user ID to access the Web server.

Initial Remote Folder

If you are required to publish to a specific directory, specify the directory in this field. For example, if you specify MyDirectory, project will be published to www.lectora.com/MyDirectory.

You can also create a new directory by typing in the name of the directory you want to create in this field.

Transfer Mode

Specify the mode for transferring the published project as either Active Mode or Passive Mode. Select Passive Mode for transferring to a server that is not behind a network firewall and the client is behind a network firewall. Select Active Mode for transferring to a server that is behind a network firewall and the client is not behind a network firewall. Consult your network administrator for more information. In most cases, select Passive Mode since lectoraonline.com (the client) is behind a network firework.

Transfer Mode is disabled if you opt to use the SFTP protocol.
