This is a fairly simple process. Open the page you want to upload with Netscape Communicator editor. Then choose File->Publish

A dialogue box will appear. Insert the login name we assigned you and password where appropriate and make sure you select only the files you want to include in the upload.

Example: if your domain name is "abcsite.com", your user name is abc and your password is 74H&U, you would have:

Publishing location: ftp://abcsite.com/home/abc/HTML/
User Name: abc
Password: 74H&U

Be careful with the "Included files" part or you could wind up filling your account with unnecessary files or overwriting files you didn't want to. Other than that it is fairly intuitive and easy to use.

If you don't have a copy yet, then you can follow this link directly to the download site for Netscape.

All home pages must reside in the directory where the ftp takes you to in your account. It's created automatically when we generate the account. The filename usually end with .html but filenames ending with .htm are also accepted. It's advisable to use one naming convention only... it makes things easier to maintain links on your pages.

Subdirectories are allowed.
To make a new directory type
mkdir directory_name
To change to a subdirectory, type
cd directory_name
To move up a directory type
cd ..
To list the contents of your directory, type
ls
To list the contents and show the file permissions, type
ls -al

You have unlimited access via FTP 24-hours a day. As such, you can create and maintain your web pages on your own computer and upload files to your web site at your leisure.

Now you are ready to load up your favourite WWW browser. Try opening your home page, http://www.yourdomain.com/. There you have it, your very own personal website which the rest of the world can view. It is good practice to test out all your links at least once.

If you are distributing files via anonymous ftp you need to notify the administrator. We will set it up so that you will have a subdirectory called FTP that can be used to distribute your files.
