Publishing Sites
     
     To get your site created detached from the iScripts EasyCreate 3.0 system and thus make it available for uploading to your sites final destination you need to publish the sites. On publishing your site, all the watermarks and other demo stuffs are removed from your site and you get your clean site with no demo images and texts. The templates in iScripts EasyCreate 3.0 are not for FREE and you need to pay a small fee for this while publishing your sites. This small fee is subject to change from time to time and for the exact figures please refer to the site. Payment with the site can be done with Credit Card and once you have paid for the service, you are redirected to a page asking you to select the mode of publishing.

There two modes of publishing your sites:
  1. ZIP
  2. FTP

     
This is the fastest way to get your site. This is the ideal choice if you require to get your files into your local computer. Select this option in the case your internet connection is slow. This can be very handy for archiving your site also. Select 'ZIP' and click 'Continue' button. You are prompted to save a ZIP file with the name of your site. Extract this ZIP file to a separate folder and your site is ready for uploading to the production server. Please do not change the contents of the files or the locations of files unless you are very sure of what you are doing.
     
If you have the FTP details of the final destination  of your site created (ie, the domain name, the FTP user name, password, folder names etc.), you can directly upload your site without any FTP client, using the iScripts EasyCreate 3.0 interface. Enter the Domain Name, the remote directory to which your files are to be uploaded, FTP user name, FTP password etc and click 'Upload'. If the credentials you have provided is correct, your files are directly uploaded to our web server. Depending up on the size and number of the files you have created, the number of images being used and most importantly the internet speed at the time you perform the upload, this operation may take a few minutes. So please be patient while your files are being transferred. Once the upload is finished, you will be displayed the status of your FTP session, with the list of files transferred to your destination server.

You can choose any of the Publish methods and choosing one does not prevent you from selecting the other one. Thus you can directly download your site as ZIP and upload your site using FTP in the same screen.


If you have already published a site, you need not publish it again . You can directly get the files or continue with FTP directly from the 'Edit Site' page.
