Publish Files

For others to be able to see your gallery on the Internet, you have to upload all generated files to a web server. To open the Publish Files window in the Arles Image Web Page Creator window select the Tools menu > Publish Files.

Publish what?

Select what you want to publish to your web server.

Created Gallery

Publish all files of the current gallery. Subfolders are not included. If you want to upload multiple galleries use the "All Files in Folder" option.

All Files in Folder

All files in the selected local folder will be uploaded. Generally you want to set this to the Target folder as specified in the main window. Select Include subfolders if you also want to publish the files located in subfolders.

The All Files in Folder upload option is not limited to gallery files created by Arles. If you want you can upload your complete website with this option.

Publish where?

Select where you want to publish your gallery. Click the Edit button to set the publish location.

Actions

Publishing your files goes in three steps.

1. Find & Check

Click the "Find  Check" button to find the files to be uploaded. Arles will also connect to your web server to check which files have been modified.

At this stage you can still check or uncheck files that you want or don't want to be uploaded. By default Arles selects only files that are modified, making the upload process much faster if only a few files have been modified. If you want to upload all files select all files (Ctrl+A) and select the File menu > Select Checkbox.

2. Publish

Click Publish Now to upload all selected files to the web server.

3. Show website

Click the Show Website button to view the uploaded gallery in the default Windows browser. You can specify the URL for show in the Publish Location window.

After you uploaded everything to your web server you can link from other Web pages to the generated image gallery by creating a link to the index file. The index file is named  index.html by default, but it can be renamed in the Advanced Files Options window.

Third party FTP tools

It is recommended to use the Arles Publish function. But if you prefer to use a third party FTP tool to upload your gallery, make sure you upload images in the binary mode. Uploading images in the ASCII mode, will often result in corrupted images.

All generated HTML pages and images are located in the target folder as specified on the File locations tab in the main window. The generated thumbnails are, by default, located in a subfolder named 'thumbnails'.

To publish the pages on an Internet server the complete contents of the Target folder contents (including the thumbnails subfolder) must be copied to the server.
