Manual Uploading


The main advantage of using PageChanger is for the quick uploading it can do when you use the automatic uploading feature. If you don't have your pages organized into the same folder structure as you have them setup on your server, then you might want to use this manual option to upload. It will save you time if you have lots of documents in each of your folders. Otherwise, you might prefer to use an FTP-client program for the uploading part of the operation.

To use this option, type in the FTP path to the folder where you want to upload files. This isn't as horrible as it sounds because once you get the "root" path entered, the hard part is done. The path to enter here can be discovered in the same way as documented on the Server Setup page.

If the path to your home page turns out to be:

/yourdomain/www

...then all you need to do is enter that here, plus whatever folder the page is in. So, if you have two folders in your home directory on the server named "products" and "support", you would tack "products" onto the path above to upload files to the products folder:

/yourdomain/www/products

When you go to work on the support folder, you just type "support" over "products":

/yourdomain/www/support

Whichever upload method you use, PageChanger will show you where it is going to upload the file before it does so. PageChanger also keeps a log of what it uploaded where. You can open the log file via the "Open App Data Folder" command on the "Help" menu. These features combined with the automatic backup feature makes it easy to track down and rectify mistakes. Also, if you follow the PageChanger model of "change one file, upload it, and then check it" you will be able to catch errors immediately.
