Configuring a site to connect to the publish server
If you are using a GoLive site and need to connect to the publish server, follow these steps:
- Click on "Site" in the menu bar.
- Click on "Settings" at the bottom of the site menu.
- This will bring up the site settings window that is divided into a left and right side. In the left side, make sure that "Publish Server" is selected.
- On the right side of the site settings window, there is a box near the top that may be empty. At the bottom of that box there are four icons. Click on the third icon from the left (it looks like a new document icon).
- If you are using the Version Cue, you will be prompted to mark the Publish Server settings in use. Choose "Yes." This will create a new server configuration.
- The Nickname field should appropriately describe your connection type. For example, you could use your department's name, "鶹Ƶ," or "鶹Ƶ FTP."
- The Protocol field must be set to ftp.
- The Server field must be "ftp.gac.edu".
- The Directory field must start with "/cis/www/" and be followed by the directory that your website is on the server. So, for example, if the URL of your website is "" then your Directory field should be "/cis/www/oncampus/arboretum/".
- Make sure that the Username and Password fields are blank and that the checkbox next to "Save" is unchecked.
- Click OK.
Synchronizing
Once your server settings are complete, if you are using the Version Cue you should synchronize with the version control system by clicking on the double arrow icon in the toolbar so that others editing the site can use the same server settings.
Please note that there are two double arrow icons in the toolbar. The sixth from the right will synchronize with the version control system while the eleventh from the left will synchronize with the FTP server.
Username and Password
When you publish your files, you will be prompted for a username and password. Here, you will need to use your 鶹Ƶ e-mail username and password.
