Node:Excluding Synch Paths, Next:File Transfer Modes, Previous:Excluding Publish Paths, Up:Top
WebPublish does not maintain a list of the files and directories that have been transferred to a server. WebPublish assumes that every file and subdirectory in the server's directory is a part of the website. When WebPublish synchronizes a website, WebPublish searches the server's directory to locate the files and directories that are to be removed.
Often, the server's directory will contain files and directories
that should never be removed from the server. cgi-bin
is an
example of a directory that should never be removed. If you want
to exclude a file or directory from being removed from the
server, you will need to add a record to the synch
database
file.
