Exporting resources over FTP

You can export a Web project to a URL using the Export resources to an FTP Server wizard.

To export project resources to an FTP server, do the following:

  1. Select File > Export.

  2. In the Export dialog, either double click on FTP or select FTP and click Next.

  3. In the Folder field, specify the name of the folder that contains the files you are exporting.

  4. In the FTP host field, enter the FTP server URL. This should include the domain name and starting directory for the starting URL..

  5. In the FTP Folder field, enter a name of the project or folder that you want to export the files to.

  6. Select one or more FTP export options. Select Use PASV Mode, to enable a client (rather than the FTP server) to initiate the transfer operation, which enables transfers through firewalls that allow outgoing network connections only. If you select the Use Firewall option and select the Settings push button, you will be prompted to define setting for a socks server or an FTP proxy server. If you select the FTP Proxy radio button, choose one of the available firewall types.

  7. Optional: Supply an FTP connection timeout value, in milliseconds.

  8. Click Next to supply FTP server login information.

  9. Click Finish to initiate the export.

  10. When the export is complete, verify the resulting directory structure and file data integrity.
