TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Serving Up Your Pages
Here is a step-by-step explanation of the process by which a Web
page is created (or changed) and made available on a Web server:
1. Using your chosen Web editor, create a new HTML file,
or open an existing one.
2. Make the desired edits to the file.
3. Save the file.
4. Open the file using a Web browser.
5. Examine the page in the browser. If it looks
acceptable, proceed to the next step. If not, return to
your Web editor and make corrections.
6. Launch your FTP client.
7. Enter the necessary information to connect to your Web
server: address, user name, and password. Instruct the
FTP client to connect to the Web server.
8. Using your FTP client, navigate to the appropriate
directory, and upload the HTML file to the server.
9. Return to your Web browser, and open the live file (the
copy on the server, not the copy on your local
machine).
10. Examine the page live on the Web.
If it looks okay, congratulations! You're done.
