After completing your site design and development, you’re ready to publish the results. Publishing puts your site on a FTP, SFTP, or WebDAV, server so you and others can see it using a browser. The NetObjects Fusion 12 publishing process generates HTML files for the site’s pages and associated assets. NetObjects Fusion 12 transfers the generated HTML files to the server you use for Web hosting. You can control the location of your site, directing NetObjects Fusion 12 to save it to a local disk drive so only you can see it, or to a remote server so others can see it, too. When you’re sure the site is ready for the Web, you publish it to a Web server so everyone in the world can visit your site.
Sites published with NetObjects Fusion 12 work with any Web server, on any operating platform. No special Web-server extensions are required. If your site contains special components also installed on the server—including NetObjects Fusion 12 Form Handler, CGI scripts, or third-party components—it requires extra steps to set up to publish on a server.
