5.1 Exporting Your Site
The old two-menu Export feature has been replaced with one new window that
encompasses all of the export actions, and adds a few more new capabilities. The new
interface lets you enter your web host information all in the same place, making it
much faster to export your site. You will need your username, password and web host
type and server location to export your site to the web. If you are unsure of what your
information is, check with your ISP or web host provider.
The export feature is available from the Preview window (Send Changes) and from the
Main Menu, or by using the short cut keys - Command-E. Additional information on
exporting to a .Mac account, WebDAV or FTP/SFTP host specifically is covered on the
next page in this chapter.
Note to ShutterBug V2.0 & V2.1 Users:
If you are exporting to a FTP/SFTP host, you will need Transmit or CyberDuck installed
on your computer. ShutterBug’s FTP feature will automatically launch and upload your
pages via the FTP client which you specify. You can download Transmit from the
developer website, Panic Inc. at panic.com/transmit. You can download CyberDuck
from the developer website, David V. Kocher, at cyberduck.ch.
Note to Users of ShutterBug V2.2 or greater:
ShutterBug V2.2 and all releases thereafter, contain built-in FTP/SFTP uploading and
no longer require Cyberduck or Transmit. Helpful instructions on using the built-in FTP/
SFTP functionality are located at our support board here.

Export Your Site for the First Time
1. To export your site, hit the Send button from within the Preview window, or
File-->Export Website from the Main Menu.
2. The Export window will open inside of the main application window.
3. From the pop up list, select the type of host you want to export to: .Mac Account,
WebDAV, FTP/SFTP, or to a Folder on your computer.
4. Next, click the radio button labeled Entire Website.
5. Move down the window and enter your username, password, and the URL
location for your web host space. (For instructions on exporting to a .Mac Account,
WebDAV or FTP/SFTP host specifically, see the next page in this chapter.)
6. Hit the Export button to upload your website to your web space.
7. Hit the Cancel button to cancel the upload action.
Note: After you hit Export, ShutterBug's activity log will open while it calculates and
builds the output for your site. You can cancel the upload at anytime during the activity
log processing. When it has completed the calculations, a small ShutterBug progress
menu will appear that allows you to watch the status of the upload.

Export Changes to Your Site - Incremental Upload
After the first export, ShutterBug will save and store your web host information. You
won't need to go through the Export window again unless you have to change your
web host information and upload to a different location. Each time you make a change
or update your site, all you have to do is hit the handy Send button from within the
Preview window or File-->Send Changes (Shift-Command-S) from the Main Menu.
ShutterBug automatically calculates your changes and uploads only those changes.
You can view the changes that are being uploaded in the small ShutterBug progress
menu that appears after you hit Send.
Note: You do not have to upload the changes right away. ShutterBug will always
remember the changes and save them for upload at a later date.
