Introduction to HTML
11/17/08

After we have finished making the basic HTML page, we will go ahead and set up our "Web space," and send, or publish, the page to the Web.

The page that you make will be like the one here.

Steps to publish your page on the Web (our Alpha server):

  1. Open up puTTY. This allows you to telnet into the alpha server at La Salle so that you can create and manage your Web folder (public_html). In theory, (or at home) you could also telnet directly through the browser:
    telnet://alpha.lasalle.edu
  2. In puTTY you need to open alpha.lasalle.edu
  3. Log in with your usual user name (beattyj1) and the password
    first 5 numbers of the SSN, underscore, first 3 letters of your last name (12345_bea)
  4. When you see a prompt, type
    pp_orig (which means Originate, or create your Web folder)
    pp_perm (which means be sure everyone has Permission to view it)
    ls (which means List System files to see if this worked)
  5. You will see a folder (in blue) called
    public_html
    This is where your Web files need to go for this course and any other time you want to make a Web site at La Salle.
  6. Type logout (all one word).
  7. Go to Start -> All programs ->Filezilla
    OR Enter into the browser:
    ftp://alpha.lasalle.edu/~beattyj1 (Substitute your user name).
  8. Set the Profile Name to Alpha.
  9. Log in with your usual user name (beattyj1) and the same alpha password:
    first 5 numbers of the SSN, underscore, first 3 letters of your last name (12345_bea)
  10. Send the test.html page and the JPEG into your public_html folder.
  11. The URL (Web address) for your test file will be (substituting your user name)
    http://www.lasalle.edu/~beattyj1/test.html
    Type that into the browser and you should see the page (Did you remember to send the JPEG as well? Are the files IN the public_html folder rather than at the same level?)
  12. When you have the page uploaded, let me know. As we said, you can view it at http://www.lasalle.edu/~user/test.html
    where user=your normal user ID (e.g. beattyj1)
