ISC "How To" instructions:

How To Publish a Microsoft FrontPage 98 Web To a UNIX Account

These instructions assume that you have a FrontPage 98 web created on your local computer that you wish to transfer to a UNIX account.

Note- To use FrontPage 98 to edit a web page that resides in a UNIX account, you must first download the web pages to your local computer. Once on your local computer, you can edit and add web pages within Front Page. Click here for instructions on downloading web pages from a UNIX account to your local computer so that you can edit them.

 

Step 1: Determine the directory path to your UNIX account (this is the location your web pages will be transferred to)

  1. Start Netscape Navigator.

  2. Type in the following URL in the netsite location box:

    ftp://your full email address

    For example:

    ftp://jsmith@astro.ocis.temple.edu

  3. Press [Enter]. You will be prompted for your UNIX account password.

  4. Type your password and press the OK button.

  5. Your account directory path will appear at the top of the browser window. For example:

    Current directory is /home/a076/jsmith

  6. Click on the public_html directory located in your UNIX account.

  7. The directory path for your web pages will appear at the top of the browser window.Write down this path for use in Step 2 below. For example:

    Current directory is /home/a076/jsmith/public_html

    Note- If you do not see a public_html directory in your account, you will have to create one before you can continue. Call the Help Desk at 215-204-8000 or the ISC at 215-204-2777 or 215-204-8529 for further assistance with this step.

 

Step 2: Upload your web pages to your UNIX account

  1. Select File, then Publish FrontPage Web.

  2. In the Publish window, choose the More Webs button. (After this initial time, when you get to this point, you will just choose the location you want to publish to from the drop-down list.)

  3. In the Please specify the location to which you wish to publish your FrontPage Web window, type in the URL of the new web page, (i.e.- astro.ocis.temple.edu/~jsmith ), then press the OK button.

  4. In the Publish window, notice the new path in the gray part of the window just below the white drop-down window, beginning with "http://…".

  5. Uncheck Publish changed pages only for your initial upload, then press the OK button.

  6. In the Microsoft Web Publishing Wizard window, enter the name of the UNIX server in the FTP Server Name box, (i.e.- astro.ocis.temple.edu ).

  7. Press the [Tab] key to jump to the Directory Path box, and type in the full path to the public_html directory in the account you are uploading to. For example:

    /home/a076/jsmith/public_html

  8. Press the Next button.

  9. Type in your user name and password in the appropriate boxes in the Wizard window, and press the Finish button. A message box will appear to indicate the transferring of your web pages to your UNIX account.
