Publish projects to the web using FTP
You can publish your Adobe Captivate projects directly to a website through FTP.
1 In an open project, select File > Publish.
2 In the Publish dialog box, select FTP and set the following options.
Project Title Enter the desired name.
Server Select the name of the server that hosts the FTP site on which you want to publish your project. To add an
FTP server to the list, click the browse (<<+>>) button, and add or delete servers using the options in the FTP
Servers dialog box.
Note: You will not have to create a separate FTP server list for every project because Adobe Captivate saves changes
made to the FTP list automatically. These changes are also captured when you import and export preferences.
Directory Enter the specific directory on the server to which to upload the files.
User name Enter a user name with permissions to publish files to the server.
Password Enter a valid password for the user name.
Port Enter the correct port number to which you should upload your files. (Port number 21 is commonly used.)
3 Select a file type.
SWF File Select this option to create a Flash SWF file to FTP.
Project Files Select this option to create Adobe Captivate project files (CPTX) to FTP. This is useful if you want to
share the project with someone who needs to open and edit the project.
4 (Optional) Click Test Settings to test the settings you entered for the server. You will receive either a confirmation
message stating that the connection succeeded or an error message explaining why the connection cannot be made.
5 Select from the following output options:
Zip Files Creates a ZIP file. (A program like WinZip can be used to open the files.)
Full Screen Opens the file in full screen mode.
Export HTML Creates a standard JavaScript file that helps embed the SWF file into the HTML file.
Flash Player Version Adobe Captivate generates the SWF file in the Flash version that you choose.
