Hi Satrider,

Do you already have your own www address and some web space to host the site? If you are connected to the Internet via a dialup modem or broadband then chances are your Service Provider will have given you some web space and an FTP upload address when you signed up with them - and this is usually fine for starting off a personal web site.

Let me know where you're at so I can offer some appropriate info.

Cheers,

Hi Satrider,

There's two ways you can publish the site then:

You can either Export the site to a folder on your hard drive and use Cute FTP to upload it ...or...

Antenna has it's own built in FTP publisher, so you can publish directly without using any 3rd party software :

Make sure you are connected to the Internet and currently online. In Antenna select Publish/Export... from the main Web menu, then enter your site publishing details on the FTP Settings and Advanced tabs. Finally click the Publish button to start publishing.

Cheers,
Stormdance

P.S. Couple of extra tips: Some web hosts require you to publish to a remote subfolder (e.g. /public_html). If this is the case make sure you specify the correct Remote Folder on the Advanced tab before you publish. If you are running a Firewall you may want to tick the Passive Transfers checkbox too.

Thanks Storm ...it's a www folder...real easy.
So I do not need to enter any web address like http://mysite/.....the program dose all that when publishing?
