Choose Edit > Publish Profiles.
The Publish Settings dialog box opens.
Learn how to configure and publish to an FTP server, a Secure FTP server, or a File System.
You can generate the output of your project in RoboHelp and then publish the output to an external server using file transfer protocol (FTP), secure file transfer protocol (SFTP), or a file system. To do so, first setup a publishing profile providing information about the FTP, SFTP, or file system instance. Edit an output preset, select the publish profiles you want to use, and then publish content.
To create and configure a profile:
Choose Edit > Publish Profiles.
The Publish Settings dialog box opens.
Click to create a new profile.
In the Server Type field, select the type of server as FTP, SFTP, or File System. Default is SharePoint Online.
Except for Name, other fields in the dialog box change based on the server type selected.
In the Name field, modify the default profile name if required.
For the FTP server type, do the following:
Note: Port is not required in the address.
For the SFTP server type, do the following:
Note: Port is not required in the address.
For the File System server type, in the Destination Path field, specify the path on your network to which you want to publish the content. Only absolute paths are supported. RoboHelp copies files at the path you provide without creating any sub-folder for the output.
Click Save.
RoboHelp saves the profile and displays the profile name under the Profiles column. To edit a profile, click the profile name and edit its fields. To delete a profile, click against it.
You can configure an output preset to link it to the FTP, SFTP, or File Transfer publish profile, and then publish your content to multiple servers.
Click the Output tab in the standard toolbar. Output Presets is the default selection in the Output toolbar.
In the Output Presets panel, double-click an output preset to edit it.
In the output preset editor, click the Publish tab to view the servers created across projects.
You can also edit server information here or in the Publish Profiles dialog box, which you can launch by clicking .
Select the profiles (servers) to which you want to publish content.
Select Republish All to republish entire content, including updates, if content was previously published to a specific server. If this field is not selected, RoboHelp publishes only content updates, not the entire content.
To publish to the selected profiles (servers), right-click the output preset and click Publish.
If you selected multiple servers, RoboHelp publishes in parallel. Two prompts appear, one displays publishing information (such as the file being published, preset name, and server name) and the other displays publishing status.
RoboHelp also creates log files at %/AppData/%/Local/Temp/RHTMP. To view log files, right-click the output preset and click View Publish Log. If you published content to multiple servers, the log file shows publishing information (success or failure and errors) about all servers.
To view published content, click in the Results column against the published profile.
If publishing fails, the Results column does not show the icon.
