Adding and editing file mappings

You can add and edit file mappings in the File Mappings tab in Web Settings. To remove changes you've made to a default file mapping, see Restoring default Web Settings.

To add or delete a new file mapping:

In the File Mappings tab of Web Settings, do one of the following:

• To add a mapping, select By Mime Type in the View palette. Select a Mime type category in the Web Settings window, and click the New Extension button  in the toolbar. Edit the new mapping in the File Info Extension Inspector.
• To delete a new mapping, select the suffix, and choose Delete from the context menu or press Delete on the keyboard.

To edit a file mapping:

In the File Mappings tab of Web Settings, select the extension suffix, and set options in the File Info Suffix Inspector:

• To set the FTP method, choose a Transfer property.
• (Mac OS) To change the application that is launched when the file is double-clicked in GoLive, specify the Mac File Type and File Creator in the File Info Extension Inspector. Alternatively, click the Browse button next to the Application text box, and browse to the application.
• (Windows) To change the application that is launched when the file is double-clicked in GoLive, click the Browse button next to the Application text box in the File Info Extension Inspector, and browse to the application.

To delete changes you've made to a default file mapping:

Select an item marked "x" in the User column, and press Delete on the keyboard.

To use Internet Control Panel mappings instead of GoLive mappings (Mac OS):

Select Use Internet Control Panel in the File Mappings tab of Web Settings.

To launch and edit the Mac OS Internet Control panel (Mac OS):

Note: If you add or edit a mapping with the same filename suffix as one of the mappings in the Internet Control Panel while you are using the Internet Control Panel mappings, your mapping will be overwritten.
