Web Publishing

VMS / AXP

All student, faculty, and staff have accounts on the VMS server, also known as AXP.

Personal web addresses for VMS look like:

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

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 used on campus computers are WS-FTP on Windows and Fetch on Macintosh.

PM

If you have requested a PM account, or are working on a department web site that has an account on PM, you will be able to utilize the built-in FTP capabilities of Dreamweaver.

Personal web addresses on PM look like:

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

To publish your site using Dreamweaver, you need to define your site's remote connection properties. To do this, you will need to go to "Manage Sites" and "Edit" your site's connection settings.

After you have defined your site settings, follow the instructions below to connect to the server via Dreamweaver:

1. In the normal view in Dreamweaver, look in the File panel on the right and click on the "Expand/Collapse" button to expand the pane to full size:

Typical layout of the expanded file manager panel displays remote files on the LEFT and local files on the RIGHT:

4. To download files from the server, use the download or Get button Download Icon
