Publishing Web Content

You will need to publish content to your web site to be viewed on the web. You can do this by copying the files you create to a specific location on your web server that is used specifically for web pages. Each web server has a configuration screen or a file where you can specify the main disk folder that maps to the root of your web site.

The files placed in the folder, or its subfolders, automatically become available on the web. For example, if you copy a file Page.html to the test sub-folder on your web server, this page should be accessible via a URL such as http://www.mydomain.com/test/Page.html, where www.mydomain.com can be replaced with your own domain name, or the IP address if desired. When users request the URL in their browser, the browser will contact the web server, which will send the contents of the corresponding file back to the browser.
