This article describes how to publish a Microsoft Office document to a Web server by using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP).

To publish your Office document by using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), you must have access to an intranet or Internet FTP site that supports the saving of files. Additionally, you must have access rights to save to this FTP site, and you must add the FTP site to your list of Internet sites.

2. In the Look in box, click Add/Modify FTP Locations.
3. In the Name of FTP site box, type the name of your FTP site, for example:
   ftp.microsoft.com
4. To log on to a site that allows anonymous FTP access, click Anonymous.
   
   Or, to log on to a site where you have user permissions, click User. Type your name, and then type your password if prompted.
5. Click Add and then click OK.

Publish the Document

After you add the FTP site location to the FTP site list, follow these steps:

1. Open the document or Office Web that you want to publish.
2. On the File menu, click Save as Web Page.
3. In the Save in list, click FTP Locations.
