FTP Instructions Using a Netscape Browser

Publishing a Web Page to Your Personal Web Space on JC’s Interactive Systems Server

*Note: These instructions apply only to “personal” web pages. If you have a domain hosted on our server, i.e. www.yourdomain.com, contact us directly for information pertaining to your web site. When you have finished designing your personal web page and are ready to publish it to the Internet, there are a few small details to remember: 1. The first page that you want people to see when they go to your web address needs to be saved as ‘index.html’. Be careful to note that this is NOT the same as ‘index.htm’.

You may use a Netscape browser to connect and upload your file(s) in the following manner: Start Netscape, and enter into the address line ‘ftp://www.jcis.net’, you will be prompted to enter your password, this is the same as the password you use to connect to the Internet. Once you have done that, a listing of your web space will show up in the window. To upload a file, simply drag it from the desktop (or another window – such as the Windows Explorer screen) into the Netscape window. You will be asked if you want to upload the files, click “Yes”.

NOTE: Using this method, you cannot delete files, or create subdirectories to help with organization – you may only upload files. If you are simply putting up a small personal or family page, this is just fine for you. If you need these features, please see "FTP with Other Programs" to download and use software that supports these tasks.
