Step 3. Select a File or Folder: At this stage the Wizard will ask you basically where on your hard drive are the files and folders located that you would like to publish. You can publish a single file or your entire web. If you choose folder and your web layout contains sub folders be sure to check the Include Sub Folders box. In our example we are publishing our entire web site up to the server, we created a folder on our local hard drive called ~test on drive C:. We selected *Browse for Folders* and selected the ~test folder. We do not have any sub folders we need to publish so we did not check the Include Folders Box. We then click *Next>*	(click to enlarge) (click to enlarge)

Step 4. Name the Web Server: Here is where you enter in a name for this setup. Give it a unique name that will represent the server that you will be publishing to. For this example we gave it the same name of the web site we are publishing to. *IMPORTANT!* After Naming the setup press the Advanced Button. this will present you with a listing of choices as to how to publish your web. All ACM Systems configured webs are FrontPage Server Extension enabled, choose the *FrontPage Extended Web* option. Then click *Next>*	(click to enlarge) (click to enlarge)

Step 5. Specify the URL and Directory: To publish your web, the wizard now needs to know the address it will publish to. This address is the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of your web site, in the example we are publishing our web to http://virtualcybernaut.com/~test. The Local Directory box will show the Folder location you selected in step 3. Click *Next>*	(click to enlarge)

Step 6. Type in the URL provided by ACM Systems. Our example again uses http://virtualcybernaut.com/~test. Note: if you are publishing to a registered Domain Name, enter the URL for that Domain. Example: http://www.acmsystems.net Click *Next>*	(click to enlarge)

Step 7. Next supply the type of connection you have to the Internet. We are on a LAN (Local Area Network) so we selected that as our connection. If you connect to the Internet using Dial-up Networking, select that option and supply the Dial-up Networking connection you wish to use to access the Internet during this publishing session. Note: If you are using AOL as your internet provider make sure you are already connected to AOL and select "Local Area Network", as AOL does not support Dialup Networking. If you have a single Dial-up connection, it will be listed in the drop down box. If you have multiple connections they will be listed as options in the drop down box. Click Next>	(click to enlarge)
