Can I publish my RoboHelp project directly to a web server using the Generate Primary Layout (WebHelp) function?

Question

I am hoping to improve my method of publishing my company
Knowledge Base.
Currently, I generate the RoboHelp layout to a folder on my
local computer and then manually upload the project output files to
our sever via SmartFTP. My question is how do I publish directly to
the server? Is this possible?
On the first page of the Generate Primary Layout "wizard", I
have entered the path to a local folder on my computer. Three
screens later in the Servers box of the "wizard", I have entered a
server and path, and checked its box. When I generated the output,
I expected it to be published to both locations: the local folder
and the web server folder. But it only publishes to the local
folder, not the web server.
How do I get it publish to the server also?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

I had been using the HTTP setting, so switched to FTP and
filled in server info. This time the Publish function began
working! However, the process has since hit a snafu.
Certain files are causing errors and I'm getting a message
such as this one:
Publishing has been cancelled. Failed to create file: image
235.jpg
When I click OK to the first error message, I then get this
one:
Publishing has been cancelled. Failed to create file:
bsscftp.txt
After clicking OK to the 2nd error msg, the Publish fails and
I get this:
Warning: Failed to publish to "help". reason: Canceled by
user.
I have run through the Publish a couple times now and various
files cause the 1st error, but the 2nd file is always that same txt
file. I realize this snafu may be particular to my situation but
any ideas?
