If I don’t have FTP to remote server setup yet & want to do it later
but I need to specify a Remote Target when starting a new project
& want a separate folder of the online folders & files that I can even FTP separately Later
I make 2 folders on the same (MAMP server in my case) path of my php projects.
The starting New Project folder I then fill in like this –
this is the folder with the .wappler folder that is recognized by the Project Manager
Wappler loads in its starting files. I name it for the “localhost” mysql database I am accessing via Mamp.
I then make the Remote Target or Online Target in the next step – it will not have the .wappler folder – it will be treated as a Remote Server folder when I Choose the “remote” Target and Click the “Publish for this target” link.
So I can easily tell that if I want to PUBLISH that I want to select the Target named “myblog_website”
Everytime I make changes and add new files, styling, etc. I get the Updated Folders & Files in my 2nd folder
/myblog_remote — suitable for direct FTP from this folder after I have tested running the whole app in my browser with exactly the same folders & files that should be loaded ONLINE.
