Publishing your HTML document

Publishing = storing the file where a web server can read it.

Your hard disk	Your Unix account
C:	home directory
Program Files	mail
Documents	public_html
test.htm	index.html
termpaper.doc

The first time you publish a page it's a two-step process, since you have to create the public_html directory.

One you have your directory, publishing new pages or updating old ones just consists of putting files in the public_html directory!

For example, using WS_FTP to upload files:

1. make sure the HTML document is stored in a file on your local hard disk and has a valid Unix filename and extension (typically something.html or something.htm)
2. launch WS_FTP. On the "session" menu set:
   Host name: darkwing.uoregon.edu (or gladstone)
   User ID: username
   Password: yourpassword
3. (one time only) Click the MkDir button on the remote (right) side, and type "public_html".
4. In the right-hand window, find the localdirectory containing your html file.
   In the left-hand window, click on "public_html".
   Select "Auto" or "ASCII"
5. click the "->" button to transfer the file. Upload images along with the master HTML document (select "BINARY").
6. Click "Exit" to quit WS_FTP.
7. view your file at
