Adobe GoLive is the latest version of the Pagemill / Cyberstudio tools from
the folks that bring you Photoshop, Illustrator, and other fine design tools.
GoLive is a powerful site design and publishing tool, and works well with
OWH accounts. You can get a 30-day trial version of the program from Adobe
from this link:

The following information is contained within your account Welcome letter and
is needed to connect you to your website via FTP:
Your User Name........(case sensitive)
Your Password..........(case sensitive)
Your Host Address.... yourdomain.com or your IP address
("IP address" is the numerical address assigned to every account. For the
first few days, until your domain name is registered or transferred, this will
be the only way you can connect).
Publishing Your Web Page.
1. From File pull down menu, select FTP Browser
2. In the FTP Browser window, enter the following:
Server = yourdomain.com (or your IP address)
Directory = /www
Username = user name
Password = password
3. Click Connect . After connecting to the remote server, Adobe GoLive displays the directory on the remote server - your web host account.
NOTE: If you are having upload/connection issues using the above configuration (503 or 550 errors) please try the following:
- for Server enter: ftp://ftp.yourdomainname.com (your ip may be substituted for the domain name).
- Review Adobe's troubleshooting page.
4. To download, drag files or folders one at a time from the FTP
Server window to the desktop. To upload, do the reverse.
For a first-time upload, the entire site is copied to the server. Subsequent
uploads are normally updates that synchronize the local and server-based sites.
For updates, you have two choices:
Incremental uploads copy only new site files and site files whose local modification
dates are later than the modification dates of the corresponding files on the
server. (If both the server file and the local file have been modified and the
server file has a later modification date, the local file won't be uploaded.)
Modified-item uploads copy only new site files and site files that have been
modified in Adobe GoLive since the previous upload. (If a local file has been
modified outside of Adobe GoLive, it won't be uploaded whatever its modification
date is.)
You can use either the incremental method or the modified item method for both
first-time uploads and subsequent updates.
All of your files will be uploaded to the www directory, as will any
subdirectories you create. The one unique system directory that you may want to
use is cgi-bin; this directory is reserved for custom Perl/CGI scripts.
To make your home page load automatically, name the HTML document "index.html"
in lowercase and upload it to the www directory of your account. If you
access your site (www.yourdomain.com) and see a page that says, "This site is
under construction and will be available soon" that means you have not uploaded
your "index.html" file correctly.
As soon as a file is uploaded to the web server, it is available for all to
see. If, after uploading a file, you are still unable to see the updated file
via your browser, try hitting the "Refresh" or "Reload" button. If that fails,
you need to clear both disk and browser cache. This function can be found by selecting
Options - Network Preferences in Netscape, and Tools - Internet
Options in Internet Explorer. Remember that you must first be connected
to the Internet through your local Internet service provider in order to connect
to the web server.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- All passwords, usernames, and file names are case sensitive. Example: if you
typed FILENAME.GIF in your HTML document but named your file filename.gif it would
not work. They must match up in order for your page to show up properly.
- Any and all files you want to be accessed via a web browser must be placed
in your www directory.
