PUBLISHING YOUR WORLD WIDE WEB PAGES

So you've just put the finishing touches on your world wide web
home page and it's time to publish for the world to see.  But how do you do it?

The answer is that you need to follow a series of simple steps
which we will outline here for you.


USING AN FTP PROGRAM

This method uses FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to upload new pages
to your web site.

1)   First, connect with RadixNet in the usual way using SLIP or
     PPP.

2)   The next step is to establish an FTP connection between your
     computer and RadixNet.  While FTP programs vary slightly, the
     basic approach is the same.  The FTP program will ask you for
     the name of the host you are trying to log into, your username,
     your password, and the type of host.  The following should work
     with most windows-based FTP software: 

     host name:          goldmine.radix.net

     userid:             your user id

     password:           your password

     host type:          auto

     remote directory:   CommercialWWW.domain.name

     local directory:    the name of the directory on your home
                         computer containing your web page and
                         graphics files.


3)   After typing in the above information, tell the program to
     connect to your RadixNet account.  This is generally done by
     clicking on a 'connect' button or through a 'connect' pull
     down menu.

4)   After a few seconds, your FTP program should tell you that you
     are connected to your RadixNet account
     CommercialWWW.domain.name directory.  Once you are connected,
     you should be able to click on a 'send' button or an 'arrow'
     button pointing from the file window on your computer to the
     CommercialWWW window (your web page directory) on RadixNet. If
     you have done it right, the file should start transferring to
     your Radixnet account.  Most software will inform you that it
     is transferring the file(s) you have selected. Most will also
     inform you when the transfer process is complete. 

5)   The final step is to rename your home page as 'welcome.html'.
     In most FTP programs, this is done by clicking on the file you
     want to change (to highlight it) and then clicking on the
     'rename' button, or selecting rename from the 'file' pull down
     menu.

6)   You're done!  Now, tell your web browser to look at your new site.


If you have a UNIX (NOT DOS or WINDOWS) based machine:

The Standard UNIX (SCO, Linux, Solaris, etc.) FTP program will
work.  Just make sure that you use the 'bin' option before
'putting' your graphics files.
