Uploading

"Uploading" is the process of copying your files to the server. If you upload files to the WWW directory on the server it is available to the World Wide Web community at large. See the section called "Setting Permissions" for more information.

Reasons you might want to upload your web page:	Reasons why you might want to keep your web pages on a disk:
The server will not be destroyed in your backpack or get lost. The server is automatically backed up every day, so if something does happen to it, your information can be recovered. Usually nothing can be saved off a crashed floppy disk. If you publish your Portfolio, your mom could check out your Web page from home via the World Wide Web.

Uploading Web Pages Using FTP Software

This is a much more visual way of uploading pages. It requires you use WS_FTP (Windows) or Fetch (Macintosh).

Windows

1. Log into WS_FTP (a program used to copy files from your Windows disk to the server)
   1. Open the WS_FTP program by clicking on the Start Menu, then Programs, then ws_ftp(95).
   2. Profile name = your name
   3. Host name = jade.saintmarys.edu
   4. Host type = UNIX (standard)
   5. User ID = your login e.g. smit9876
   6. Password = your main password. DO NOT SAVE YOUR PASSWORD!
   7. Account and Comments = blank
   8. Click "OK"
   9. On the screen that appears, the left window shows the contents of your disk; the right window shows the contents of your account on the server.
2. Copy files from your disk to the server.
   1. Be sure your disk is in the disk drive. On the left side of the screen, double click the "a" drive to access your floppy disk. You may need to scroll to the bottom of the window to see the "a" icon.
   2. On the left side of the screen, click on the file(s) you want to copy. (Use the control key to select more than one.) Be sure you also copy your image files, too.
   3. On the right side of the screen, double-click the "WWW" folder.
   4. Be sure the buttons in the middle of the screen are set to "Binary" and "Auto."
   5. In the center of the screen, click the arrow that points from left to right to copy files from your disk (on the left) to the server (on the right).
   6. The computer copies the files from your disk to the Web.
   7. If a new file has the same name as a file already on the server, the new file will automatically replace the old copy.
   8. When you are done, choose Exit (lower right corner).

Macintosh

1. Log into Fetch (the program used to copy files from your Macintosh disk to the server).
   1. Open Fetch by clicking on the Apple Menu in the upper left corner, choosing "Communications," then "Fetch."
   2. Host = jade.saintmarys.edu
   3. User (ID) = your username
   4. Password = your password
   5. Directory = WWW.
   6. Click "OK"
2. Copy the files from your disk to the server
   1. From the Remote Menu, select "Put Folders and Files."
   2. Choose your floppy disk by clicking the "Desktop" button, then double-clicking your disk's icon. You will now be able to see all the files on your disk.
   3. Select the files you want to copy to the server by highlighting them and clicking "Add." Be sure to include your graphics files that end in .jpg or .gif.
   4. When you have selected all the files you want to copy, click "Done."
   5. From the menu that pops up, be sure Text Files = "wrapped text" and Other Files = "raw data"
   6. If a new file has the same name as a file already on the server, the new file will automatically replace the old copy.

   When you are done, choose "Quit" from the File menu.
