Actually the only chessbase interfaces that publishes properly (properly meaning
updating the games according to the specified time interval, working link to see
what book and hash the individual engine have been assigned and proper showing
of html) are Junior 6 and Young Talents, however all chessbase gui's will work,
just not very well (don't know about the new Fritz 8 and Shredder 7 though).

What you do is this:

Let's say that your web address are www.chess.com you will need to create a
folder on the server called (example) livegames, which means that the path to
your livegames folder would be: www.chess.com/livegames
Now you open the desired tournament and after configuring all the engines that
you want to participate, then you click on the "publish" button (remember to
check "publish tournament". For "update" i usually choose "fixed time" and All 1
minutes. Then for filling out the "connection" fields: "server address" should
be the same as your host name, in this example "subdirectory" should be
livegames, "identification" should be the same as your userID and the the
password should be the same as the one you use for accessing your site.

CB GUI:
Server address: chess.com
Subdirectory  : livegames
Identification: chess.com
password      : example

This is what it should look like if your ftp info looks like this:

Host name: chess.com
UserID   : chess.com
password : example
