Publisher does not have a built-in upload utility. Its help file recommends using Microsoft's Web Publishing Wizard, though any FTP client would do.

First click on Start and go to Programs. The first place to look is in the Accessories directory, as shown below. The second is in a directory for Internet Explorer, if one exists. Once you find the shortcut click on it.

The hostname, username, and password are all that most people will need. Once this information has been obtained click 'Next.'

The Web Publishing Wizard is finally ready to try the upload. Click 'Finish' and the Wizard will try to upload your site.
Once the Wizard successfully contacts your hosting server it will ask you for the username and password that goes with your hosting account. Type both of these in and click the 'OK' button
