RH2017 - publishing options in RH

Hi,

We have a scenario where we have a Windows server on which we have the help hosted on Apache Tomcat web server. This Windows machine is a dedicated help hosting server. Technical publications team can generate the help output manually and copy and paste the output folder to the help hosting server by doing a remote desktop connection. This however is error-prone and not the best way.

Can someone throw some light on how the Publishing options FTP and/or HTTP would work?

When they generate the output, there is a Publish option in the dialog.

The easiest way would be to select File System, browse to the server and enter the password. They would of course need to be able to see the server as part of their network.

The two options you mention are also just cases of filling in the information required but I can't help with that, it needs to come from the IT admins.
