To upload your site via ftp:
- Connect to ftp://www.yourdomainname.com/users/yourusername/pages
- Login with the username and password that you have been assigned for
the Business Web server
- Upload your files
Your pages may be maintained via FTP, using your login name
and password. Again, until the Domain Name Servers (DNS)
pick up on your server's information, you might find it
necessary to FTP to the IP number assigned to your server.
Telnet access to the machine is also available for you
to maintain your web account (password, etc.) or to modify
file permissions on scripts, etc. Telnet to either your
server's name (www.YOURSERVER.com) or to the IP address.
You will be placed in your home directory and will need
to cd /users/yourusername/pages to get to the location of
your web pages. If you wish to change your assigned
password, you may use the "passwd" command from the system's
command prompt.
The root directory for the pages on the new site is
/users/LOGIN/pages. We can accept either index.htm or
index.html as the home page. When you (the webmaster) starts
working on the site, that is the remote directory to use for
the FTP session.

| The Business Web
UNIX Server: |
Your web pages are currently hosted on an DEC Alpha platform,
using the Digital Unix operating system and support software.
Perl and GCC are available for CGI scripts and development
of special applications you might need for enhancing your
server.
In order to keep performance maximized, we schedule the second
Sunday of each month for a 'maintenance window' in which we may
do software or hardware upgrades, etc.; system downtime is held
to a minimum.
A directory is setup for you to allow anonymous FTP
access to files. This directory is accessible at:
ftp://ftp.yourdomainname.com
Your account is the only one with ability to upload content to
this directory. Anonymous FTP users have read only access (for security
reasons) to it. You can upload files to this directory by ftp'ing to:
www.yourdomainname.com (a DNS entry of ftp.yourdomainname.com can be made
upon request).
...and going to the directory:
| CGI Scripts and Image
Maps:
|
There is a directory named /users/LOGIN/cgi-pvt that would
contain your CGI scripts. In order for the server to find it,
the proper CGI reference is: /cgi-bin/LOGIN/script.pl.
Imagemaps are a little tougher:
For example, in the /users/LOGIN/pages directory (where you might have
the bulk of your pages), there might be an 'images' subdirectory.
(Note that the webmaster may create subdirectories BELOW the 'pages'
directory, for convenience).
In that subdirectory, there is 'mapindex.gif' picture for the imagemap,
and the corresponding 'mapindex.map' file. So to display that imagemap
there reference would be:
