How to upload project to WebCatPlus

WebCat Publisher is a Windows application which helps you to create disk images for WebCat web server.

Before running WebCat Publisher you have to prepare files you want to upload in one directory. Once you have all your files prepared, run the WebCat Publisher and click "/images/2541549/Open" toolbar button. This will open browser for directory dialog.



Select the directory you prepared and click OK. List of files in directory will appear.

You can edit HTML and ASP files by double-clicking on them.

When creating disk image, WebCat Publisher uses only selected files. So you have to select files before creating images. Size of the selected files is shown in the status bar. Please make sure that the selected size of all files is less than the disk image size.

Creating disk image

Once you have selected the files which you want to upload to the board, click "Create and write" toolbar icon button.



As soon as you click "Create and write" toolbar icon button WebCat Publisher will create a virtual disk drive (VDD) , format, and copy all the selected files to VDD. The created VDD will be uploaded to the board. Finally, the application unmounts the virtual disk drive and closes the dialog box.
