Web Publishing Wizard uses two different transfer methods to post a
set of Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) files to a Web server:
Windows File Transfer (which uses universal naming convention [UNC]
for file names) and the File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
Web Publishing Wizard determines which protocol to use based on your
location or the location of the Web server. Web Publishing Wizard
prompts you for the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) when you set up
the initial site configuration, and depending on the type of URL you
enter, Web Publishing Wizard decides which transfer protocol to use.
Site Configuration:
- NetBIOS Names: If the URL you enter is similar to
"http://<servername>," Web Publishing Wizard attempts to make a
universal naming convention (UNC) connection to the server when
transferring your HTML documents.
- Fully Qualified Domain Names: If the Web address you enter is
similar to "http://example.microsoft.com," Web Publishing Wizard
attempts to make a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) connection to the
server.
c. Choose the appropriate connection type to access your Web server,
and then click Next.
You have two choices, Local Area Network (Intranet) or Dial-Up
Networking (to access the Internet).
d. The Wizard verifies the settings. Click Next.
The Wizard is now ready to start publishing your files to the Web server
named <servername>.
