Your webpages must be uploaded into a directory called "public_html" under
your home directory, using the "FTP" protocol.
Your home directory must be world readable to allow others to see
your pages. This will normally be setup when your account is created.
However if you suspect your account is not configured correctly please
contact ZSD.

Uploading Pages
|
Most web authoring software supports the FTP protocol. There are
many useful utility programs which can do this too. You can even
do FTP uploads from a DOS command prompt. Whatever your choice
of FTP tool you will have to configure your software. Please make
sure you setup all of the following:
-
Your ftp software must log into same domain as the website that
you are uploading, eg "www..co.za". Users of personal
homepages must upload their pages to "users.zsd.co.za". (Previously
we used a server named "nimbus.zsd.co.za". This server is no
longer used for hosting webpages, so you must use the above URL
to upload your pages to the correct server.)
-
You must authenticate using your account name and password.
-
You must upload pages into the sub-directory "/public_html".
-
NB: filenames on URL's are case sensitive. For example, if
you have a link pointing to "myfile.htm" and you upload
"MYFILE.HTM" your link will not work.
If you are experiencing problems, you can you email the pages to
ZSD. We will put them up and make sure that you directory permissions
are set etc. After that, please use your own ftp client.
