Uploading Your Site



Once you have created your web pages, they must be "uploaded" to the U-Web server so that they will be accessible on the internet.

If you use a web site authoring tool such as Dreamweaver your site will be automatically uploaded. But if you're not using a program that handles site upload automatically you'll have to do this yourself. Because your U-Web account is integrated with U-Storage, you can upload your pages using any of the U-Storage access systems.

Once you've got your web site ready, you can publish it by following these simple steps:

  1. connect to your U-Web account using a Secure FTP program as described on the U-Storage site

  2. on the remote system, change into the uweb directory

  3. transfer your HTML files and any associated images to the remote system

  4. make sure all of your web pages have the suffix .html or .htm

  5. if you want your web site to be listed in the Student Web Index, your home page must be named one of the following: index.html, index.htm, home.html, home.htm, default.html, or default.htm.
