In-Depth Information
If you need to put the i les in a folder other than the site root, enter the directory
path in the Server Path i eld. Most ot en this would be something like /www/, /
public_html/ etc. h e use of leading and training slashes is important; check your
hosting account documentation as necessary.

In most cases you can leave the Protocol, Port, and Passive Mode for Data Transfers
i elds at their default values.
If you're not sure what to enter for any of the above settings, check your Web
hosting account information or ask your Web server administrator.
Before leaving this dialog box, be sure to save this as a new preset. At the top of the
window, click the Preset: menu, and select Save Current Settings as New Preset. Be
sure to give your preset a meaningful name.
Click ok t o apply the ftp s ettings (or Cancel to leave the dialog box without saving
changes).
Next, in the Upload Settings panel, you can choose to put the uploaded i les into a
subfolder (the default is a folder called “photos”). If you entered a value in the Server
Path i eld the subfolder(s) will be created under that directory (see Figure 7-17).
At the bottom of the Upload Settings panel, the Full Path: text shows the complete
directory path where the Web gallery will be uploaded (not including the domain
name).
If you're sending someone a link to the gallery, you will need to provide the full ur l
(Web address) including the domain name and the Full Path shown in Lightroom.
Create multiple subfolders
You can create multiple subfolders by entering their names and directory path into
the text i eld, separated by slashes, for example:
/photos/trips/new_mexico_2009/.
Always use Web-friendly names for directories
When you're creating any folders (and i les) for Web use, don't use spaces,
punctuation other than hyphens and underscores, or any special characters.
Otherwise, Web browsers might not be able to access your pages.
Do a few test runs before sharing the link
It's likely that even with lots of experience under your belt you will occasionally
do Web uploads or exports from Lightroom's Web module that, for one reason or
another, don't turn out how you wanted. h is is normal and should not be feared!
