Step 1: Selecting a Source Server and Web Site

The first screen in Site Studio Replicator asks you to select a source server. This is the server where you are replicating your site hierarchy from. You can select a source server by selecting the actual server or a project file created on the source server. If you select a server, you then select a Web site.

Selecting a Server as the Source

To select a server as the source, perform these tasks:

1. Select a server from the Source Content Server drop-down list.

   To add a server, edit an existing one, or remove one, click the Additional Information icon (Figure) beside the drop-down list (see Modifying Server Connections).

4. Click Next and proceed to the next step (see Step 2: Selecting a Target Server).

Selecting a Project File as the Source

You can use a project file as the source, but you must first download the project file from the source server (see Viewing the Content Information Page for the Project File). Using a project file instead of a source server is useful when you must manually transfer the hierarchy because the source server is not accessible on the network.

To select a project file as the source, perform these tasks:

1. Select <Load From File> from the Source Content Server drop-down list.

2. Click Next.

3. From the Open dialog, select the project file that you downloaded from the source server and click OK.

4. Click Next and proceed to the next step (see Step 2: Selecting a Target Server).

Later in the wizard, you have the opportunity to select individual sections from the Web site you are replicating.
