- How
to login ?
To
login, you need to use a software
called FTP.
First, you have to make your webpages
on your own computer. For that, you
can either use a text editor and write
HTML (for experts :), or you can use
a webpages editor software like Microsoft
FrontPage, Adobe GoLive, Hotmetal,
Netscape Composer (it's part of Netscape
web browser) or even Microsoft Word.
Once your pages are ready, you have
to use a FTP software to copy them
from your computer to the webserver.
There is many free FTP softwares.
For example, for Windows you may use
the wsftp32 software.
When you start your FTP program, it
will ask you for the "Host name" of
the computer you want to connect to.
Either enter your website address
(ie: www.mysite.com). It will also
ask you for your "User ID" (or Login)
and "Password". Enter the information
we provided you.
Once you are connected to the webserver,
you can copy files between your computer
and the server. Important
: All your pages and documents
that can be viewed from the web should
be put into the "public_html" directory
of your account or a sub-directory
of it ! So don't forget to move into
that directory first !
- Can
I use a webpages editor software to
update directly my site ?
Yes,
it's possible. The exact configuration
depends of the software you use but
usually you are asked to enter a HTML-like
URL to specify the webserver and starting
directory. In that case, you should
enter something like : ftp://www.yourwebsite.com/public_html
- What's
the name of the default page ?
The
default page in a directory is : index.html
or index.htm. For PHP pages, the default
name is index.php
- What
names should I give to my pages ?
You
can give any name to your pages but
you should avoid to use spaces or
special characters as they need to
be specially encoded in the URLs.
Also, our system is case-sensitive.
That mean that a file named "test.gif"
is not the same as "TEST.gif"... Make
sure to use the exact name in your
URLs...
- How
do I use CGI ?
You
can put your CGI anywhere in your
account (under the public_html directory)
but their names should end in .cgi.
The path to the PERL interpreter is
: /usr/local/bin/perl.
- My
PHP pages are displayed in plain text.
What is wrong ?
The
filenames of your PHP pages need to
end in .php
- How
do I email the result of a HTML form
?
First

center to receive the name of

Then, you will have to include the
following HTML code in your page(s)
:

Don't forget to replace "yourcountername.dat"
by your real counter name !
- How
do I email the result of a HTML form
?

- How
do I configure my mail software ?
