User Interface > Project Settings

You use the Output page to determine where files that have been processed by HTML Guard should be stored. You also determine whether backup copies of files should be made before they are overwritten.

Overwrite existing files

When this option is set, HTML Guard saves protected HTML files under their original name. Please note that you should never overwrite your original files without making a backup, since HTML Guard's protective measures cannot be undone.

Save files to the following folder

Select this option to write the protected files to a separate directory. If the directory does not exist, it will automatically be created while your files are being processed by HTML Guard.

The Advanced Settings let you determine whether HTML Guard should save additional files to the selected output folder:

The Replicate linked files option causes all files to which the source code links to be included in the copying process. This ensures that all files needed to correctly display your site are included in the output directory (or one of its subfolders).

The Replicate complete directory trees option causes all files and subordinate folders to be copied one for one to the output directory. This option is in effect only if you have actually entered an input folder in the list on the Input page.

Upload files to server via FTP

This option allows you to transfer your protected HTML files directly to your web server using the FTP protocol. You will need to supply the following information under

•	Host/Server: The URL of your web server (usually your domain name prefixed with "www.").

•	User Name: Your user id, as given to you by your provider for FTP uploads.

•	Password: The password that corresponds to the user name.

•	Default Directory: Name of the folder on the server to which you want to upload your protected files. Leave this field blank in order to upload directly to the root directory.

Please note that when using the FTP upload function, any files on the server with the same name will normally be overwritten without warning and without making a backup copy.

Create backup copies before overwriting HTML files

When this option is set, HTML Guard will automatically create backup copies before overwriting your pages, so that you will be able to restore your original files if necessary.

Save copies in the original folder

Causes backup copies to be saved in the same folder as the overwritten files. The name of each backup copy would be the same as the original file with the extension ".BAK" added.

Save copies in the following folder

Causes HTML files to be copied to the specified directory before the original files are overwritten (which could be a subdirectory containing the current timestamp in its name). If there is already a file with that name in the directory, the file name is differentiated by a numeral.

Save copies in the following ZIP archive

Use this option in order to save backup copies in compressed form in a ZIP file. If the specified ZIP file does not yet exist, HTML Guard will create it.
