setting up unix directories and then posting your webpage

Setting up your web page on pitt's homepage site:

To set up your public html directory:

Click on start button on bottom left of your monitor
Click on run
Type in: telnet unixs.cis.pitt.edu

What you type in:
pwd
cd public
pwd
mkdir html
ls
(UNIX should prompt you that there is an html directory by displaying html )

To transfer files to you html directory (rather spotty on this):

1. Go to your brower's url box and type in the url:
ftp://yourusername@ftp.pitt.edu (user name is the name you use to go into blackboard courseweb for example, jpw25 for jane willow)
2. enter your username and pasword
3. find public folder
I think the next two actions are right, but I have not done them:
find html
drag stuff into there.

To start a web page, save it and publish in from NVu to Pitt.edu:
(Don't put images in until you save it!)
Read the following tutorial that I found:
