Publishing Web pages

Administrators and end users can author and publish Web content to their respective domains or personal Web sites. First, create your Web pages locally using any HTML authoring tool, and then transfer the files to the appropriate subdirectory on the hosting appliance.

Using FTP

You must know the following information in order to publish to a specific domain on the hosting appliance using FTP:

To publish using FTP
  1. Start your FTP application and establish a session with the hosting appliance.
  2. Transfer your files to the appropriate directory. Refer to the manufacturer's documentation for questions regarding your FTP client application.

Directory paths for domain administrators

For domain administrators, files for your site need to be uploaded to the following directory path:

/home/domain/<domain name>/web

These domain pages are accessible on the Web at http://<domain name>


Important!
As a domain administrator, if you do not specify the directory path above, your files will be transferred by default to your personal directory, not the domain directory, and can't be accessed via the Web at the fully qualified domain name.

Directory paths for site users

For site users, files are transferred to your personal directory by default. The directory path is:

/home/domain/<domain name>/users/<username>/web

where <domain name> is the fully qualified domain name, and <username> is your login name. These personal pages are accessible on the Web at:

http://<domain name>/users/<username>

http://<domain name>/~<username>

Using FrontPage 2000

If FrontPage* Server Extensions have been enabled for a hosted domain, the primary domain administrator can publish Webs directly from FrontPage (secondary domain administrators and other end users cannot publish directly from FrontPage).

To publish using FrontPage 2000
  1. Open your FrontPage Web.
  2. From the File menu, select Publish Web.
  3. Enter the IP address or domain name after the http://.
  4. Click Publish.
  5. Enter the FrontPage domain administrator user name and password (set up by the server administrator).

FrontPage user name and password
The FrontPage user name will always match the primary domain administrator user name. Initially, the primary domain administrator password and the FrontPage password will match. Two situations can cause the FrontPage password to differ from the domain administrator password:
