1.11 4.1.4.1.1 Publishing Web Pages

 

• Once a web page has been modified it is necessary to put it back on the web server.

 

• When publishing a page with a browser ‘FTP’ will be used.

 

• The web page called ‘index.html’ is the first one to be returned. If you are publishing a main page your main page should be called ‘index.html’.

 

 

 

• Keep in mind that the website is just another computer. You have directories and files there too. To create a web site that has multiple files we need to create other files or directory names.

 

 

• Note that some web servers do not observe upper/lower case and cut the ‘html’ extension to ‘htm’. Microsoft based computers are notorious for this, and this will be the most common source of trouble.
