This document is not meant as a "How to guide" to making HTML's, rather it is a guide as to how to offer your HTML document to the rest of the Web from Niagara.com. At first it may sound complicated but it is rather easy if you follow it step by step.

In order to offer you documents to the entire World Wide Web, follow the following instructions:

1. Using Telnet or your favorite terminal software, connect to chardonnay, and enter your username and password.

2. At the chardonnay, prompt type the following commands:

chmod 711 .
Notice the period at the end after space, this is really important.

mkdir public_html

chmod 755 public_html

Check you web page from your web browser, ie Netscape or Internet Explorer. Your web address should be:

http://www.niagara.com/~username

If you experience problems with elements of the page not displaying at this point please check the case in which you documents and images are named or referenced. The UNIX operating environment is highly CaSe sensitive, and this has been known to frustrate many a novice web page creator.

If you still experience problems try the following.

Once you have your HTML document within the public_html directory, type the following commands from within that directory:

chmod 644 document-name


for example.

chmod 644 default.html
