Publish dialog box - FTP options

Use this dialog box to use FTP to send the Captivate movie so that others can view the movie.

FTP options

Movie Title: Displays the movie title. You can change the movie title, if necessary, by typing a new name directly into the text box. You do not need to include a filename extension (.swf) with the title.

Server: Enter the name of the server that hosts the FTP site where you want to publish the movie.

Directory: Enter the specific directory on the server listed above to which to upload the files.

User name: Enter a user name with permissions to publish files to the server listed above.

Password: Enter a valid password for the user name above.

Port: Enter the correct port number to which you should upload your files.

Test Settings: Click to test the settings you entered for the server. You will receive either a confirmation message stating that the connection succeeded or an error message explaining why the connection cannot be made.

File type: Specifies the type of file to send using FTP. Click on the pop-up menu to select a type.

SWF File: Select this option to create a Flash SWF file to FTP.

Windows executable: Select this option to create a Windows executable file to FTP. An executable file can be used standalone on a Windows machine.

Project Files: Select this option to create Captivate project files (.CPT) to FTP. This is useful if you want to share the project with someone else who needs to open and edit the project.

Macintosh executable file: Select this option to create a Macintosh executable file to FTP. An executable file can be used standalone on a Macintosh machine.

Linux executable file: Select this option to create a Linux executable file to FTP. An executable file can be used standalone on a Linux machine.

Output options  

Zip files: This option creates a zip file containing the appropriate files. (A program such as WinZip can be used to open the files.)   

Note: If your company or organization uses anti-spam software for servers, you might not be able to send EXE or ZIP files by e-mail. Anti-spam software for servers is installed either on the mail server itself or in front of the mail server and is used to identify and filter spam before e-mail messages are sent.

Full screen: This option displays the movie in full screen mode.  

Note: If you select AICC output options and scoring, you cannot select the Full screen option during the export process because AICC output uses framesets.

Export HTML: This option exports the HTML code necessary to add a Flash file to a web page or a RoboHelp project.  

Movie information  

Resolution: Shows the current movie height and width in pixels.

Slides: Shows the total number of slides in the movie.

Slides with audio: Shows the number of slides that contain audio files.

Audio quality: Shows the current audio quality setting for the movie.

eLearning output: Specifies whether any eLearning options were added to the movie.

Display score at end of movie: Specifies if a user score will be displayed at the end of the movie. (This is an option if you add quizzes to your Captivate project.)

Playback control: Shows the playback control selected for the movie.

Preferences: Click to display the Movie Preferences dialog box, where many of the settings shown in Movie information can be changed. (For example, you can change audio quality or select a new playback control from the Movie Preferences dialog box.)

Publish: Click to use FTP to publish the Captivate movie to the specified location.
