Publish a Site Made With iWeb

If you have designed a web site using iWeb on your Macintosh, here is how to upload it to the SWCP web server.

Export the site from iWeb

• Make the site in iWeb.
• Select File -> Publish To A Folder
  • It will prompt you for a folder name in the Sites folder of your web home directory
  • Click New Folder to assign a new name.

• Some features of iWeb won't work in this method:
  • Hit counter
  • Password protection
  • Comments and attachments

Install FileZilla

• Go to http://filezilla-project.org
• Download FileZilla
• There is tutorial on using FileZilla here: http://www.elated.com/articles/filezilla-tutorial/

Upload your site with FileZilla

• After you Publish the site to a folder, start FileZilla
• In the Host field enter "ftp.swcp.com"
• Enter your username and password in the appropriate fields, click QuickConnect
• Under Remote Site it will show the path to your home directory on the server. Click your username and you should see "public_html" underneath. Under there you should see the directory for your web site, say "mysite.com". Double-click it.
• Under Local Site, navigate to the folder where you published the site with iWeb (e.g. /Users/YourName/Sites/mysite.com). You should see file called index.html here and a folder called Site.
• Double-click the index.html file to upload it
• Control-Click the Site folder and select Upload from the menu. That will upload the Site folder and all the fiels contained within it. (If you have a 2-button mouse, you can right-click to get that menu; if you have a recent macbook, you can do a 2-finger click to get it).
• Now visit http://mysite.com/ in your browser to see your site.
