Once
you have created your personal web pages there are a few ways that
you can place your web pages online our user web server, this FAQ
will discuss the most basic way to put your site online. Although
there are many good graphical FTP programs we are going to use Windows
95/98/NT ftp program which should be on most Windows machines. If
you don't wish to use ftp.exe for Windows then you may visit our
software section and download WS-FTP or CUTE-FTP.
Configuration Settings:
- FTP
HOST: ftp.tht.net
- LOGIN
NAME: Your User Name (ie: support)
- PASSWORD:
Your Password
- DIRECTORY
TO PLACE WEB FILES: www or /home/*USERNAME*/www
- INDEX
HTML FILE: index.htm or index.html
Step By Step Instructions:
You should be familiar with those settings to put your pages online,
that should be all of the configuration information that you need
to put them online, if you continue reading you will see the step-by-step
process to place your pages online. If you follow the commands that
are written in BOLD, you should be able to place your web
pages online with little to no trouble.
- Before
opening the FTP program you should ALREADY BE CONNECTED to the
Internet.
- To
open the Windows 95/98 FTP program, click on your "Start"
button, and then highlight and use the "Run" command.
- It
will ask you what file you would like to "Open", simply
put FTP in and click "OK".
(Note: If the program does not work, or Windows reports that
it cannot find the file try using C:\WINDOWS\ftp.exe. If that
doesn't work you have problem with your configuration of your
Windows 95 machine, and you should leave email to support@tht.net
.
- Once
you have opened the FTP program you will be faced with a ftp>
prompt. At this prompt you will have to use the following commands:
- open
ftp.tht.net
- It
will prompt you for your user/login name, enter your user ID,
it will then prompt you for your password. Once you have entered
those, you will again be at the ftp> prompt. Type the following:
- cd
www (changes the remote directory to www)
- hash
(turns HASH marks on, little #'s to show your upload status)
- Using
the lcd (local-computer change directory) command change
the directory of you computer to the location of your web files
(ie: lcd C:\MYWEB\MYPAGES, would change the directory
on YOUR hard disk to where your files are located.)
- Now,
for the TRICKY part! (just kidding). There are 2 different types
of files that you can upload. ASCII (text files, such
as HTML files), and BIN (Binary files, such as PICTURES),
to upload your HTML files use the following commands:
- ascii
(It will return a 'Type set to A')
- put
index.htm (or whatever your HTML files are called)
- To
upload your GRAPHIC files use the following commands:
- bin
(It will return a 'Type set to I')
- put
mypicture.jpg (or whatever your GRAPHIC files are called)
- YOU'RE
DONE!
- Your
web pages will now be located on http://www.tht.net/~username
