Posting Your Web Page to the UNC
space.
(1) Build your web page using
SeaMonkey.
(a)
To make it easier, I suggest that you have a folder with all of the
files that you need in it. u:
(b) When the page is the way
that you like it, look at the html source and fix all of the
links, images, and references to remove the "file:path name" portion of
them. All local references should have JUST the file name
there. This is THE most common people have posting their web
sites.
(c) Do NOT use the SeaMonkey publish
function. While it will work, it is not necessary and the
instructions here will work with web pages built with any tools.
(2) Assure that you have space allocated on the UNC web site. I
believe that this is usually set up for you. You access your page
through
http://www.unc.edu/~onyen.
The default page reads
This page is
blank.
If you do not have web space, you
should be able to get it working by going to
and selecting Subscribe to Services under other services. After you log in,
you will find Web Publication Services
at the bottom of the page.
(3) Next you need to transfer your page and all the associated pictures
to the UNC web server. In order to do this you need the correct
software to do it. There are a number of options as to how to do
this. Past experience suggests that the following two are the
most straightforward:
(a)
If you are using Windows, use SFTP
Secure Shell. Go to
and download SSH/SFTP
Secure Shell - 3.2.9. This actually downloads two programs SSH
and SFTP Secure Shell. It will put icons for both of them on your
desktop.
(b) If you are using Mac, use
Fetch. Go to
and dowload Fetch - 5.3
(4) Once you have the software
downloaded, you will open the application and log onto host
isis.unc.edu.
(a)
Your user name is your onyen
and the password is your onyen
password.
(b1) If you are using SFTP, you start
the connections process by clicking on Quick Connect or the Connect
icon. You can simply
close the Profile box when it appears.
(b2) If you are using Fetch, you
should select SFTP rather than FTP. (This is the secure version
of the protocol and if the university system doesn't require it, it
should.)
(c) In both cases, you will be
brought to your personal web space.
(d) Open the public_html folder.
(e) Move all of the files that you
need, your home page and any other files that you use, into this
directory. If they are all in a single directory, they are easier
to find.
(f) In order to have your home page
come up automatically, delete the current index.html and rename your home page
to index.html. Note that it needs to be all lower case letters.
(g) Before you leave this
application, open a browser and try to access your page. It
should work!
(5) If you need to update any pages,
make the changes on your local machine and replace the file on the unc
server.
