Publishing Web pages using FTP
After creating your Web pages, you can publish them on the RaQ 4 using an
FTP-based application.
Make sure you have the following information:
• the host name or the IP address of your RaQ 4
• your user name and password
• a filename of your choice to save as your main page (the default is
index.html)
Launch your FTP software and establish an FTP link to the RaQ 4. Upload your
HTML files. If you need help, consult the instructions for your FTP application.
By default, the files you upload using an FTP-based application are stored in your
personal directory; the directory path is:
/home/sites/<sitename>/users/<username>
where <sitename> is the fully qualified domain name of your site and
<username> is your user name.
✍
Note: For more information about the directory structure on the
RaQ 4, see “Directory structure” on page 175.
✍
Note to Site Administrators: To post Web pages for your site, you
must upload to the directory /home/sites/<sitename>/web.
Only Site Administrators or the RaQ 4 Administrator can upload to
this directory. If you do not specify this directory, your Web pages
are stored in your personal directory which is not accessible from
the Web.
