Intro to Web Publishing

Publishing your HTML document

Publishing = storing the file where a web server can read it. At UO, that means in your public_html subdirectory.

For example, using WS_FTP to upload files:

  1. make sure the HTML document is stored in a file on your local hard disk and has a valid Unix filename and extension (typically something.html or something.htm)
  2. launch WS_FTP. On the "session" menu set:
    Host name: gladstone.uoregon.edu
    User ID: yourid
    Password: yourpassword
  3. In the right-hand window, find the localdirectory containing your html file.
    In the left-hand window, click on "public_html".
    Select "Auto" or "ASCII"
  4. click the "-->" button to transfer the file. Upload images along with the master HTML document.
  5. Click "Exit" to quit WS_FTP.
  6. view your file at
       http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~yourname/something.html

Exercise: upload the demo web page you've created to your web site.
