What is the deal? The Whole Process

Step 1: Web Authoring

your file

FileZilla _FTP

Other free FTP programs: refer to Resources page

Step 3: Find Your URL (Web Address)

URL: (Uniform Resource Locator): http://studentweb.cortland.edu/username/filename.html

http://studentweb.cortland.edu/amanda.bishop/project1.html

http:// ?http://studentweb.cortland.edu/amanda.bishop/

project1.html

http:// ? http://studentweb.cortland.edu/amanda.bishop/project1.html http:// tells the Web-browser to use the

hyper-text-transfer-protocol. studentweb.cortland.edu tells the browser to go to the

Cortland web-server computer. Username (amanda.bishop) tells the browser to go to your

account on the Cortland web-server computer filename.html (project1.html) tells the browser to go to

that file on your account.

URL
