Win10

Is there a way to alter an already exported website. From what i have tried the only way i can chang even one letter on my website i have to export the entire site again. This often leads to duplicate files unless i delete the whole site from server to upload it again. Not using ftp.

Hi

Web Designer by default should have Fast Publish (only changed files) checkbox selected.

This makes re-publishing much quicker in most cases because only files changed since the last publish are re-published.

Note this requires to to use the built in FTP feature of Web Designer

. . . . This often leads to duplicate files unless i delete the whole site from server to upload it again. Not using ftp . . . .

If you are not using the inbuilt FTP feature, or using an FTP prgoram such as FileZilla, how are you uploading the files created?

The duplication of files should not happen if the individual web page names are the same after any modification to their contents. They will always replace files of the same name when you upload them.

I'm having the same problem using the internal FTP server. I try to upload the "updated" site, only to have the site not only not changed, but content from some of the pages disabled and not showing up after the update. I've tried the fast publish option as well as the full upload option with no difference between them. So far, the only fix is to completely delete all the Xara files on my server and then publish using the Xara publisher.

I'm using Xara 18 on a Windows 10 desktop

Fixed it by setting the upload to SFTP ... it seems to be working correctly now.
