FTP

FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol and is used to move files to and from your computer via the Internet. This is how a webmaster (you) gets her website from her computer onto the Web.

In order to move these files, you will need some software called an FTP client. I recommend a free FTP program called Filezilla.

Student Work

The Student Work page has been updated with a link for everyone, so students can now confirm that the name they’ve given to their mirror directory matches the name which appears in the link to their production directory.

For example, I (Victoria Windsor) would check that I’ve called my mirror WindsorV, because that’s the name which appears in the Windsor, V link on the Student Work page.

When you’re ready to publish your websites, all that you have to do is upload your mirror directory using the FTP address, username, and password which you were given by our teacher. As long as your mirror directory contains an index page (a homepage) with the name “index.html,” visitors will be able to follow the link on the Student Work page to find your site!

I can’t wait to see my classmates’ great sites—live on the World Wide Web!

Here’s my peer evaluation ready for our teacher’s evaluation.
