Some web browsers and other programs let you compose web pages on your own computer, and then "publish" the page to the web server. For grove, this means that you will copy the page to the web directory of your account. If you have not already done so, you should see the directions for creating a web directory in your account. Most browsers or web tools can use a protocol called ftp to copy the file. You will need to know how to specify the ftp URL that corresponds to the web directory on your grove account. The general form of this URL is:
If the grove account is a class account that you received from your instructor, the URL is a little longer. Suppose the course is cis1234, and the username of the account you received from your instructor is c1234def. The correct URL for your web directory would be:
You must provide your grove username and password to copy a file into it using ftp. At some point, the tool you are using to publish your web page should prompt you for this information. Netscape is a browser that lets you compose a web page and then publish it to your account on a web server. When you are ready to publish your Web page, choose Publish from the menu and you will see a screen that looks like this:  You need to enter your user name on the next line where it is requested and then on the following line you enter your password. The default for "Other files to include" is Select All. |
