Update a Web site
 

To update a Web site, make changes to the original Publisher file (.pub), and then publish your updated Web site to the Web again.

ShowPublish updates to a Web site

Publishing updates to a Web site is slightly different from publishing a Web site for the first time. After you publish a Web site to a location on the Web or a network, a shortcut to the Web server (Web server: A computer that hosts Web pages and responds to requests from browsers. Also known as an HTTP server, a Web server stores files whose URLs begin with http://.) or network server (server: On a local area network, a computer that controls access to all or part of the network and its resources, such as printers. On the World Wide Web, a computer running Web server software that responds to HTTP protocol requests. Also called a host.) will appear in My Network Places.

  1. On the File menu, click Publish to the Web.
  2. In the Publish to the Web dialog box, click My Network Places.
  3. Double-click the shortcut to the folder on the Web server or network server where you published your Web site.
  4. In the File name box, type the name of the file you are updating.
  5. Double-click the folder where you want to save the file, and then click Save.

Note  If you used an FTP (FTP: A communication protocol that makes it possible for a user to transfer files between remote locations on a network. This protocol also allows users to use FTP commands, such as listing files and folders, to work with files on a remote location.) program from your Internet Service Provider (ISP: A business that provides access to the Internet for such things as electronic mail, chat rooms, or use of the World Wide Web. Some ISPs are multinational, offering access in many locations, while others are limited to a specific region.) to publish your Web site, you will need to use the same program to publish updates to your Web site. Contact your Internet Service Provider for information about updating your Web site.
