Publishing your pages Once you have finished creating your Web page, or perhaps an entire Web presentation and tested it on your own system, you can publish it to a server. A daemon is a UNIX term for a program that sits in the background and waits for requests. Finding a Web server Ideally, you'll be able to publish your Web pages using the same organization that gives you access to the Internet. If you get access to the Internet through a commercial provider, that organization might offer Web space that you can use as well. Ask your system administrator if they offer Web server access.
File names have different conventions and restrictions depending on the platform.
It's important to understand these distinctions before publishing your Web information, because you want your documents to be as portable between platforms as possible. If you are working with more than one platform, naming your files is very important. Also, if you're moving files from a Macintosh to other systems, don't use spaces or other funny characters, use only letters and numbers and keep your file names under 8 characters. You can also specify the remote server site. If you have specified default publishing preferences in the Editor Preferences dialog, those settings appear in the Publish dialog.
