About GoLive publish server clients
To publish your site, GoLive connects to an FTP server using File Transfer Protocol (FTP), and connects to a
WebDAV server using HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP). GoLive can also connect to a folder on your local file
system or network using the File protocol. To connect to a publish server, GoLive uses either of its two publish server
clients—the Publish Server tab in the site window and the file browser. Both clients list the files and folders in the
current publish server directory along with file size, modification date, and file type.
Note:
The Publish Server Inspector, available when you select a file or folder in the Publish Server tab or the file browser,
provides further information about individual files and folders.
Depending on your circumstances, determine the appropriate publish server client according to the below descrip­
tions:
The Publish Server tab
Use the Publish Server tab for uploading and maintaining a one-to-one synchronized relationship between local and
remote files. The Publish Server tab gives you access to commands that permit modified and synchronized uploading
and downloading, as well as one-step exporting and uploading. The Publish Server tab gives you direct access to all
the assets in the site window. Do not use the Publish Server tab for general-purpose file transfer, especially not for
dragging files from the desktop to transfer to a server. Doing so causes the site to request deletion of these files the
next time you synchronize your site.
The file browser
Use the file browser to quickly inspect files on a publish server, or to update a few files on your published site without
opening a site window.
Note:
Before you set up access, make sure that you have TCP/IP networking set up properly on your computer. Consult
your computer’s Help for details.
