mkdir public_html Defining a SiteDreamweaver's site maintenance function includes the ability to transfer files between your desktop computer and the campus web server. Once you have defined a site as described below you can use Dreamweaver's Site Files window to view the local and remote locations and transfer files between them. Note: Only the settings required to publish pages to central CSUN web server are described in this document. Please refer to your Dreamweaver manual for additional information.
New Site dialog boxes (Local Info and Remote Info) are shown in Figures 1 and 2, below.
Transferring FilesTo transfer files from the local folder (on your desktop computer) to the remote site (on the University's central Web server), do the following:
FIGURE 3. Site Window
Other File Management FeaturesIn addition to uploading files (put) to the campus web server, you can also download (get) files from the site — using the Get File(s) button (a green downward-pointing arrow) or choosing Get from the Site menu. Deleting files from your site is simply a matter of selecting (clicking) the desired file(s) and taping the Delete key. Note that if the files on the Remote Site side of the Site Window aren't displayed, you'll have to make connection before downloading or deleting files. Use the Connects to remote host button to log on (or choose Connect from the Site menu). To update the file listings, click the Refresh button. In short, you can use the Dreamweaver Site window in much the same way as you can use any FTP (file transfer protocol) software. For additional information about the Site window click the Displays help for this window button (a question mark in a gray circle). The Web Address of the Published SiteIf your main Web page file is called index.html your Web page address is: http://www.csun.edu/~accountwhere
account is the campus account where the file is located. Make sure
to include the tilde (~) character. The Web page address for any page other than index.html is of the format: http://www.csun.edu/~account/filenamewhere account is your account number (e.g., xyz12345 or hcxyz123) and filename is the name of your Web page file (homepage.html, for example). Again, make sure to include the tilde (~) character. Questions?If have questions about these procedures, please contact the University Help Desk at (818) 677-1400 or via email to helpdesk@csun.edu. |
