Publishing your Website

Using FTP, you can publish your website as follows:
Step 1: Open your website in MEW.
Step 2: Click on Site → Publishing Settings. The Site Settings dialog
box opens.
Step 3: Click on Add to open the Connection Settings dialogbox.
a. Provide the Name, remote location (www.mysitename.com) and credentials i.e. username and
password (provided by the host provider)
b. Click on Add to add these details. Then click OK.
Step 4: Now click on Site → Publish All Files to…<Name> IP address of the server.
Depending on the quantity of files, the size of each file, and the upload speed you have, publishing the
content may take some time. Once uploaded, MEW will display a popup message to show whether publishing
was successful or not.
