Upload

StageRace provides for automatically uploading the publications of your event to a web server.

Since StageRace generates its publications as HTML files, they are immediately suitable for use on the internet.

Upload Settings

You have to set an URL for the web server, a user name and password combination, and optionally a remote directory for the upload to work. Also you have to explicitly allow uploading. All this in the upload settings.

Uploading is done using FTP (File Transfer Protocol).

Ways of Uploading

There are two very distinct ways of uploading:

• Through Upload all generated publications... in the Tools menu you can upload all the publications of an event at once. This means that StageRace gets all the HTML files of which the file name corresponds to that of the event's .str file and uploads them. Additionally, a possible index.html will be uploaded; or
• Through the Event item selection dialog that allows for uploading a selected set of publications.

Note that if your event uses separate event logo and/or style sheet (CSS) files, you will have to upload these manually, using external FTP software.

Table of Contents as Index

When index.html is the file name for the table of contents it is not longer possible for StageRace to determine whether the supposed table of contents file actually applies to the particular event. There is a risk that you are uploading the wrong index.html. You can prevent this by examining (and possibly regenerating) the table of contents. Also you are quite sure when you keep your event and its publications in a separate folder locally.

Dedicated Folder

Using the upload settings it is possible to have publications to be uploaded to a dedicated folder for their own event. The folder will initially be created by StageRace, which's name is based on the event title.
