  1. Managing Your Website C/IL 102

  2. Managing Your Website • Where are things? • Building your website (on your PC) • You can see it • You can edit it • No one else can see it • Publishing your pages • Moving your pages from your pc to a file system that is accessed by a publicly available webserver.

  3. On your PC • Designate a folder where you construct your web pages • Build your pages using Nvu or some other web page construction tool • When you are satisfied with your pages, publish them

  4. What is publishing? • Before we answer this, let’s back up and tackle another question What is the Internet?

  5. What is the Internet? • It is a hardware/software network of computers that follow standards for transmitting information from any one computer on the network to any other computer on the network.

  6. Machine ID • Each computer on the internet has several unique identifiers. • MAC codes: Each device on your computer that can be attached to the Internet has a hardware code that is unique to that particular piece of hardware on your computer • IP Address: An identifier that is assigned to your computer when it is connected to the Internet • IP Name: An identifier assigned to your computer by a Name Server, a special computer that helps keep a local part of the Internet organized

  7. Machine ID • Bring up an Command Prompt window and enter ipconfig/all • A MAC number appears as Physical Address: 00-04-23-64-54-99 • The IP Address appears as IP Address. . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.170

  8. What the difference between the Internet and the Web? • Think of it this way – The Internet is like the Interstate highway system with a special set of rules focused on transferring packets from one computer (exit) to another (exit). • Each packet must have: • Return address • Forwarding address • Limited size – Think of it as a highway were all vehicles are the same size, no exceptions.

  9. Packets • A computer must break apart the information it wants to transmit into one or more packets. • When forming packets the computer must place another wrapper around the information inside the packet. • That wrapper is called a Protocol.

  10. Protocols A protocol is a way of telling the receiving computer what is inside the packet and what to do with it. Some protocols TCP IP SMTP MAIL FTP Telnet HTTP … Internet and the Web

  11. Internet and the Web • The web (HTTP) is one of many protocols that wrap the information inside of a packets • The inventors of the internet were very clever, they knew that new ways of the internet would come about – the use of protocols allows for this. • In a sense, anyone can invent a protocol at any time.

  12. What about a web server? • The Literacy Web Server • Access via HTTP • What a web browser does. • What’s the difference between • www.cil.cs.scranton.edu • Retrieve’s the server’s home page • www.cil.cs.scranton.edu/~beidler • Goes to the /~logon account finds the folder called public_html and retrieves the page called index.html.

  13. What about a web server? • The Literacy Web Server • How do my pages get there? • First • Construct and edit your pages on your computer. • Construct all your links, etc. • Then publish • Publish is just a fancy word for using the FTP protocol to copy files from one computer to another. • WARNING: If you are in a dorm you may have trouble publishing from your dorm room because of the presets for MacAfee 8.0i – Find someone who knows how to fix it, its easy to do,

  14. Nvu • Nvu is a free web construction resource • File • Edit • Link • Table • Picture • Publish

  15. Nvu • First • Play with Nvu • Construct a set of pages on your computer • Make them look nice • Make your links work

  16. Nvu • Once you have everything working and looking good. • It is time to publish

  17. Nvu • Fill in according to Dr. Sidbury’s handout. • Carefully follow his instructions

  18. via FTP • Instead of using Nvu’s publish feature, find a free FTP program and us it instead of Nvu’s publish window.
