Uploading with Communicator

Once you have finished creating your Web page(s) using the Composer portion of Netscape Communicator, you can publish it (upload it) to our Web server.

Choose Publish from the File menu or click the Publish button on the Composition toolbar. You will see the Publish dialog box (shown below).

publish dialog box

In the Page Title field:
Enter the text that appears in the window title when the document is browsed. This is how most Web search tools locate specific Web pages, and it also is used as the page's bookmark title if your page is bookmarked by someone. So, if you want readers to be able to locate your page easily, select a useful title that conveys what your page is all about.

In the HTML Filename field:
Enter a filename for the current document you want to upload to our Web server. Be sure it has an .htm or .html extension.

In the HTTP or FTP Location to publish to field:
Enter the location of your Web space directory on our server.

If you have a Southland personal account, use the following format:
ftp://ftp.southland.net/userwwwroot/joe
(if your account was activated prior to summer 1998)
or
ftp://ftp.southland.net/fpuserwwwroot/joe

If you have a Southland business account, use the following format:
ftp://ftp.southland.net/users/joe

Note: You must replace "john or acme" with your own username on our system.

If you have a Southland domain hosting account, please email us or call our office (714-441-3000) to get the proper path for your domain directory.

In the Password field:
Enter your password (lowercase). Click Save Password to save your password information so that you only need to type it in the box once instead of each time you publish your Web pages.

If you want to upload more than one file:
Click Files associated with this page to display all of the files referenced by the current document. Then select the files you want to publish along with the document. Click Select None or Select All to quickly select and deselect files in the list. Click All files in page's folder to display all of the files in the current document's directory. Then select the files you want to publish along with the document. Click Select None or Select All to quickly select and deselect files in the list.

Note: If a file inside of your Web space has the same filename as the one you're uploading, it will be replaced with the new one without asking you to confirm the action.
