Layout on disk

A project is stored in a file ending with .objx. It is advisable to store this file in a folder made specifically for the web application. When a project is saved, a backup of the existing project is made under a name ending with .bak.

Three folders are created on the same level as the project file:

htdocs: it contains all the files which composes the Web site (HTML files, images, ...)

trash: all the files destroyed by Netsilon are transferred in this folder. It contains up to ten old versions of the project.

generation: all the files produced during the generation of the site are created in this folder. Each deployment site creates its own sub folder.
