How Do I Publish My SIte

I am working with CoffeeCup some more and have a very basic web page I want to publish. I hit publish and nothing happens.

I have my own domain ready through Site5. I have a web site there currently. I can't find where I type in any of the info in Coffee Cup to publish.

I have my Coffee Cup test page ready to try. I'm ready to go back and hit "Publish." What should I do before I hit publish, and what should I do after? I've tried everything I can think of. Just going in circles now and time to ask for help.

Thanks!

At the very top left of VSD click on "Publish" then "FTP Account Setting". Now enter the info provided by your host.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

I see "Publish" and a globe on the far right side. The is wants infor for NIckname, Server, Username, Password, Remote Folder, Port, Passive Mode check box, and also Proxy Settings which has a whole 'nother list of info they need.

I don't know what the reomte folder is, and the authentication keeps failing. I am looking at the site5 info I use on iWeb and I've copied it all, execept CoffeeCup has more things they ask for.

See if this will point you in the right direction.

site5 uses the public_html setup if that helps at all. Not sure the syntax needed for VSD on it though. When I use HTML Editor it's:

/public_html

Also be sure to try to see if the Passive setting will help. Site5 didn't use to make us use the Passive setting, but one of their updates over the past months has changed that so maybe you need to check that also.

Thanks JoAnn. The above link about WHM made no sense to me. I finally got in touch with SIte 5 support and it took us a while, but I got everything working.

Thanks for the suggestions.
