Cyberstudio GoLive Uploading Basics
Adobe GoLive is the latest version of the Pagemill / Cyberstudio tools from the folks that bring you
Photoshop, Illustrator, and other fine design tools. GoLive is a powerful site design and publishing
tool, and works well with our accounts. You can get a 30-day trial version of the program from Adobe
from this link::
The following information is contained within your account Welcome letter and is needed to connect you
to your website via FTP:Your User Name........(case sensitive)
Your Password..........(case sensitive)
Your Host Address.... yourdomain.com or your IP address
("IP address" is the numerical address assigned to every account. For the first few days,
until your domain name is registered or transferred, this will be the only way you can connect).
Publishing Your Web Page.
1. From File pull down menu, select FTP Browser
2. In the FTP Browser window, enter the
following:

Server = yourdomain.com (or your IP address)
Directory = /www
Username = user name
Password = password
3. Click Connect . After connecting to the remote
server, Adobe GoLive displays the directory on the remote server - your web hosting account.
4. To download, drag files or folders one at a time from
the FTP Server window to the desktop. To upload, do the reverse.
For a first-time upload, the entire site is copied to the server. Subsequent uploads
are normally updates that synchronize the local and server-based sites. For updates, you have two
choices:
Incremental uploads copy only new site files and site files whose local modification
dates are later than the modification dates of the corresponding files on the server. (If both the
server file and the local file have been modified and the server file has a later modification date,
the local file won't be uploaded.)
Modified-item uploads copy only new site files and site files that have been modified
in Adobe GoLive since the previous upload. (If a local file has been modified outside of Adobe GoLive,
it won't be uploaded whatever its modification date is.)
You can use either the incremental method or the modified item method for both
first-time uploads and subsequent updates.
All of your files will be uploaded to the www directory, as will any
subdirectories you create. The one unique system directory that you may want to use is cgi-bin;
this directory is reserved for custom Perl/CGI scripts. To make your home page load automatically, name
the HTML document "index.html" in lowercase and upload it to the www directory of your account.
If you access your site (www.yourdomain.com) and see a page that says, "This site is under construction
and will be available soon" that means you have not uploaded your "index.html" file correctly.
As soon as a file is uploaded to the web server, it is available for all to see. If,
after uploading a file, you are still unable to see the updated file via your browser, try hitting the
"Refresh" or "Reload" button. If that fails, you need to clear both disk and browser cache. This
function can be found by selecting Options - Network Preferences in Netscape, and
Tools - Internet Options in Internet Explorer. Remember that you must first be connected to the
Internet through your local Internet service provider in order to connect to the web server.
