Classic webservers are used to publish one or more websites. They operate in a simple way: you just need to indicate the location of a folder that contains files to be published.

You can also do this with HFS. Just follow these steps:

  1. In the virtual file system, right-click on root(home) and click bind root to real-folder.
  2. Select the folder containing files for the website.
  3. Right-click root again, and click default file mask.
  4. Type index.htm*.

The name "index.htm*" is normally ok, but your particular main page file may have a different name, such as "default.html"; check it out.

No server-side scripting is currently supported.
