How to Use DIY Pages
On your computer, pick a directory and design some Web pages, using only
relative links (such as href="fido.html", not
href="/dir/fido.html") to refer to your files and
images. You can verify them using a file: URL on
your browser.
You can then use the maintenance and listing tool to
upload files to your public directory, delete files, and download
them for editing.
The upload script has been revised. It now preserves file suffixes
and generates a warning if a MIME type cannot be found.
See the uploads
page for more detail.
You can now use a http PUT script with publishing tools
such as Netscape Gold and AOLPress.
See the uploads
page for more detail.
The private directory is only accessible using your password. Scripts
will be provided to allow forms in HTML to generate datafiles in
this area. Other monitoring tools may be made available, such as
access and error logs.
While normal right-mouse methods may be used to download HTML files, GIFs etc.
it is necessary to use the Download feature to download IMAP and
shtml files (which will return server-generated HTML rather than
their contents if accessed via http).
