To publish your files to the World Wide Web, first you must know which server at ASU you are using.

 

VMS / AXP --------------------------------------------------------------------

Most initial faculty/staff accounts are set on the VMS server, also known as the axp machine.

The individual accounts web addresses for VMS look like this:

http://www.appstate.edu/~username

If your personal ASU address looks like this, you are on the VMS server. To publish your files to this server, you will need to use an FTP program designed specifically for moving files across the internet. The FTP programs recommended are WSFTP for PC computers and Fetch for Mac.

PC Users -- Printable PDF instructions on how to use WSFTP (2 pages)

Mac Users -- Printable PDF instructions on how to use Fetch (2 pages)

Once you have uploaded your files in WSFTP or Fetch, open an internet browser and type in your web address to view your files in "real time" on the internet!

 

PM --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have requested a faculty PM account, or are working on a departmental website that has an account on the PM or Linux server, you will be able to utilize the FTP capabilities of Dreamweaver.

The individual faculty accounts web addresses on VMS look like this:

http://www1.appstate.edu/~username

To publish using Dreamweaver, you first will need to set up your site's remote properties to log in to the server. To do this, you will need to go into the "Manage Sites" and "edit" your site.
