Publishing Web pages using FTP
After creating your Web pages, you can publish them on the RaQ 3
using FTP.
Make sure you have the following information:
• the host name or the IP address of your RaQ 3
• your username 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 3.
Upload your HTML files. If you need help, consult the instructions for
your FTP application.
By default, the files you upload using FTP 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 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 3 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.
The Site Administrator can access and edit the site root content in the
directory /web during an FTP session. The site web root is accessible on
the Web at http://<sitename>/.
Site Administrators can edit their personal Web pages in the directory
/users/<username>/web during an FTP session. Personal Web sites
are accessible on the Web at
• http://<sitename>/users/<username>/
• http://<sitename>/~<username>/
Users who are not Site Administrators can edit their personal Web sites
in the directory /web during an FTP session.
