Create and Publish your Website

If your website ist complete, choose File > Create Website... and choose a location to save your website. Goldfish creates a folder which contains all required data (html code files, pictures and other media) for your website.

Goldfish creates xhtml and css code. You can choose how Goldfish creates css code: The css code will be embedded in the html file or it will be stored in a extra css file. Choose Goldfish > Preferences to set this option. There you can also set the file extension of the code files and the name of the media and support folder.

Publish Your Website on the Internet

To publish your site on the internet, you need access to a webserver. There are many website hosting services which offer webspace for your site. Try Google to find one. Then you can upload your website simply from Goldfish.

  1. Choose File > Publish Website...
  2. Enter your ftp login data, which you have received from your webhoster
  3. Enter a path if the public folder on the sever is not the root folder (e.g. "/www/my_homepage/") this folder must already exist.
  4. If you are behind a firewall or in a local network, choose passive ftp.
  5. Click in OK

Now Goldfish uploads your website on the webserver. If this is done, your website is online and acessible from everywhere.

Some page items use php. Your webserver must support php, if you want to use them. If your built website contains a "saved" folder, please make shure that the owner, the group and others have reading and writing permissions in this folder on the webserver, so that the php scripts can store there files. The built in ftp upload will do that for you automatically.
