Publish to your own site

1. Add your website as an account profile

Go to "upload/manage" and add a new account profile.

Press Add and then select Use an existing account on other server and press ok.

Enter the ftp type, server name, username and password. If you don't know what to enter here, ask those who run the web server for you. The ftp address is usually of the form ftp.yoursite.com or www.yoursite.com

Finally press Connect.

2. Verify your web root

The first time jalbum

If you get this warning it means that the address shown below the folder list is not correct. The address shown is the web address for the currently selected album or folder. You can correct it by right clicking the folder that represents the root of your web site and selecting "Mark as web root". If the address shown in the pop ups is not correct you need to change it. It should be your website address, for example: http://myalbumsite.com

3. Choose target folder

jAlbum may propose a folder location for the album on your server. If it doesn't just select the folder where to create the album folder and click the New album directory button.

It's very important that all albums on your website are placed inside sub folders. If you publish directly to the web root the album will overwrite existing content on the website.

The album needs to be in the web root of your website, the web root is usually called public_html. If your web root is called some thing else, you will have to right click the folder and select Mark as web root.

4. Upload
