With a web account from USF, you can publish your own pages on
USF's website.
The following is a brief tutorial teaching you how to
access and use your web account to publish your pages using FileZilla.
|
|
|
After you have created a new web page to publish or
have updated an existing
webpage, you are ready to publish (or upload) your page(s) to the
internet using and FTP program such as FileZilla.
When you publish your web pages, you are
transferring files from our local network to a remote host site.
Therefore, an FTP program is a program designed to access our local
network and connect to the remote site where the web pages are to be
published. With your web
account from USF, you have access to the USF server "www.usiouxfalls.edu/~yourusername/"
Your
web pages will be published there.
To download a free copy of Filezilla,
click
HERE.
If a bar comes up under the address bar in Internet Explorer that says "To
help protect your security, Internet Explorer blocked this site from
downloading files to your computer. Click here for options...", right
click on it and select "download file..." and click run to
install FileZilla.

Uploading Files and Images |
|
Your live web page should then appear
on the left under the remote site. Make sure you navigate to the
www folder before you upload anything. The entirety of your web page
needs to go into the www folder on the remote site.
Then navigate to where you have you web site
saved on your computer by navigating in the local site. If you desire
to go back to the previous folder in either the remote or local views
click on the ".." folder at the top of either view.
Always make sure that you have resized
images in a program like Irfanview or Paint.net before putting them into
FrontPage and uploading them on the live web. Everyone has a limit of
20 mb for web space. If you don't resize your images, your web space will
quickly disappear. To learn how to resize images using
Irfanview click HERE .
