Uploading
Files
Once you
have created your pages, you must upload them to a Web server
so they may be viewed by others. Current UIC students, faculty,
and staff are granted a certain amount of Web space on the
UIC servers for their personal Web pages and other personal
files. (Students are granted 10 MB of space, faculty and staff
receive 20 MB.) Separate areas and capacities are used for
class sites, department sites, and student organization sites.
The Site
Window (accessible under the Window menu or by hitting [F8])
allows you to set up your local files into folders and organize
the files and folders of a remote Web site.
You begin
the setup to access your remote site by going to the Site|New
Site menu.
You should
start by setting up your local info. You give your site definition
a name and point to the local root folder where your pages
are stored. Once completed, you can click in the Web Server
Info category and set up the connection to the Web server.
After
choosing FTP for the Server Access, you must now fill in the
FTP host, the directory on the server, your login ID and password.
The data to be filled in will be dependent on what types of
pages you are uploading. (Personal, class, department, or
student organization.) Consult the following table.

In all
four cases, you would then type in your login ID and password.
(If you are at a shared computer, you may wish to uncheck
the Save option under password. This will prevent others from
uploading to your site.) Click on the OK button, then the
Done button when returned to the list of sites.
You are
now ready to upload your files. Click the Connect button next
to the name of your site and you will be connected to the
Web server. <Click

PLEASE
NOTE: if you are uploading files for personal use, you
must upload them into the public_html directory in your home
directory. More information about this can be found in our
<Web Publishing at
UIC> seminar materials. <You

UIC Web servers.>
