Moving HTML pages to the Website

Return to the Home Page


Now that you have created your pages, you need to move them to your website.  Your UNIX website is accessible using WS-FTP.  Follow these steps to move your pages to your website.:

  • Create a WS-FTP connection to your UNIX account and the temporary directory holding your HTML pages.

  • Change directories to your public_html directory on your UNIX account.

  • Use WS-FTP to move the files from your temporary directory to public_html.  NOTE: the filenames showing in WS-FTP may not match the filenames in your temporary directory.  You will need to rename these files to the correct names as you move them (you will be prompted for a name change - remember, UNIX is case sensitive, you must name the page exactly as in your temporary directory).  Also, if you are repeating the move of the same file, you will have to delete the file on your UNIX account before doing the move.

  • Verify all the files on your website and all the links between the pages and documents.  If any are not correct, you will have to correct them and move the page in again.
