Publishing your site with
FrontPage or Visual Studio .NET
FrontPage Extensions are a free option
with all DotNetted hosting accounts, if
you will be using FrontPage or Visual Studio
.NET to publish your web site to our servers
you should select this option when ordering
your account - if you need the extensions
added to an existing account please contact us to request the change.
Please do not request FrontPage extensions
unless you will be using FrontPage or Visual
Studio .NET to publish your site, installing
FrontPage extensions changes permissions
within the site and files uploaded via FTP
may not function properly.
Once the extensions are installed you will
be able to publish you webs / projects directly
from FrontPage / Visual Studio as follows
:
Publishing with FrontPage
Open Microsoft FrontPage from the top menu
click 'File' then 'Open Web' from the drop
down menu and open the web that you wish
to publish to the server.
Once your web is open in FrontPage from
the top menu click 'File' then 'Publish
Web'.
In the "Specify the location to publish
your web to" field enter your full
web site address e.g. http://www.yoursite.co.uk
and click 'Publish'.
In the 'Name' and 'Password' fields enter
your main DotNetted account username and
password and click 'OK'.
You'll now see various messages as your
files are copied to the server, once complete
you'll see the message 'Web site published
successfully' - click 'Done'
Your web is now uploaded and you can view
it in your browser
Publishing with Visual Studio
.NET
Visual Studio .Net allows for a couple
of different ways of publishing your projects
to the server, you can manually copy the
required files to the server using FTP or
publish the project directly through Visual
Studio .NET via FrontPage extensions provided
these are enabled on your account.
Publishing through FrontPage is recommended,
this will automatically create the required
applications and permissions on the server
- when uploaded via FTP if your project
is not located in your hosting account root
directory you will need to submit a request
for the required applications to be added
to your account via your MyDotNetted
account.
To publish your Visual Studio .NET project
using the FrontPage extensions :
In Visual Studio .Net open the web project
to be published.
Click 'Go to Project', 'Copy Project'
Enter the URL to your site e.g. http://www.yoursite.co.uk,
or the location you want Visual Studio .NET
to copy your project to in the Destination
Project Folder.
For Web Access Method select 'FrontPage',
'Only files needed to run this application'
and click 'OK' - you will need to enter
your account username and password.
