Publishing Your Web Page

• To set up your web page on the WWW you must
  transfer it as a file to the UEL main computer so
  anyone is then free to access it.
• This process is done using FTP (File Transfer
  Protocol).
• Before you can do this you must have obtained
  permission from the university and have your
  login ID and the special password they provided.

• You must first make sure that the file containing
  the web page that you want to be seen when your
  URL is accessed is named info.html (if not then
  rename it). This page will be the one that
  everyone sees first and should contain links.
• Go to UNIVERSITY MENU, then INTERNET AND E-MAIL,
  then FTP.
