If you have not already done so, visit Web
Publishing to set up a web site on Homer (if you are Faculty or Staff)
or Dante (if you are a student). Click on the "Getting Started" link and
then select from the "Central UW Web Servers" table the appropriate row
based on the type of Web page and your status (staff, student, faculty,
...). From now on I will assume that you are on Homer.
The act of setting up your Web through Web Publishing
above
automatically creates a
directory in your Homer account named
public_html which is accessible through Homer. It contains a
starter file named index.html which you can modify to build
up your web page. When you reference files in this directory
thru WWW pages, it is as if your home directory is
public_html
as opposed to ~login-id, your normal Homer home directory.
This distinction is *very* important.
The following example shows you how to use Internet Explorer or Netscape
on a PC or Macintosh
to capture a GIF image
and place it in your public_html directory on Homer and
incorporate it your own HTML.
- Access the image archive by clicking
here
- Read any copyright/acknowledgment information
- Use the EDIT > FIND command to locate the desired image
(e.g., butterfly)
- Click on the link to that image
- Click on FILE > SAVE AS..., select the directory where
you wish to place it, and choose a name for the image (for example,
btrfly.gif ).
- Use the mouse to move the file so that it overlays any Internet
Explorer or
Netscape window: if the image shows up then you have
correctly obtained it.
- Use
SSH Secure File Transfer on a PC or (secure) Fetch on a
Macintosh to move
the file
in binary to your
public_html directory on Homer.
Note: if you are sending a file from a Macintosh to Homer
it should be sent in RAW DATA mode as opposed to MacBinary II.
The latter format should only be used if the image is to be
forwarded on to another Macintosh.
- In one of your existing HTML files, for example, "index.html",
insert the following line:
Here is a butterfly: <IMG SRC="btrfly.gif">
Then reload that page and you will see the image.
