Expression Web provides a few different ways we can publish a web site. Two of those methods are described:
Publishing a web site is done from within the Expression Web interface.
First, if you desire to publish an Expression Web web site using FrontPage extensions, then you will need to make sure you find a hosting service that provides support for FrontPage extensions. Not all hosting services do.
Step 1: Obtain web hosting for your web site. See 'What you need for publishing a web site'.
Hint: If you need a new domain name, choose this when you obtain your hosting. Sometimes you can get the domain name free with the web hosting.
Step 2: Install FrontPage Server Extensions: This must be done prior to publishing your web site.
Login to your web hosting control panel and look for an icon and text that indicates FrontPage server extensions, and click on it. Then, click the button "install". That's all there is to it.
(Likewise, you can uninstall the fpse's the same way. click on the FPSE icon, then choose the uninstall button. )
Step 3: Make note of your username and password for your web hosting account. This is the username and password you will enter in Expression Web when you publish your site.
Step 4: Open Expression Web, Open your Web Site.
Click Site --> PUBLISHING settings
A dialog box opens. This is where you will input your publishing settings.
Step 5: Click the Add button to add your publishing settings for the first time. This causes a new dialog window to open (as shown below):
The image above illustrates the publishing setting to use in order to publish with FrontPage Server Extensions.
After providing username and password successfully, you will see two panels load in the interface.
The left panel contains all the files in your web site that are saved on your computer and that need to be published.
The panel on the right represents the remote location (server) to which you will publish To. Thus, we publish to our web hosting by publishing from left to right.
You can click on a file in the left panel, then click the blue arrow pointing to the right. This will publish only that file.
If you look for the few icons that are located just above each panel and to the right, you can select all files then click the blue arrow pointing to the right and all files will be published.
