How to upload my website (FTP)
Publishing your web site via FTP
Producing a web site is easy! You have the web space just waiting to be used!
There are four basic steps to putting a site up, and we'll lead you through
them.
Choose your topic
As you can imagine, the Internet has web sites on
just about every subject, so it's a good idea to make it as interesting as
possible. As far as we're concerned, we don't mind what you put up as long
as it's in "good taste" and doesn't break the law; a site breaking those two
rules will be terminated by the Webmaster!

Write your page
Web pages are written in Hyper Text Markup Language
(html). Don't worry, that probably sounds a lot worse than it really is. Affordable
WYSIWYG editors are widely available (e.g. Dreamweaver, FrontPage,...). Alternatively,
UniWeb can build your web site for you.
Upload your web site You can use an FTP program to upload your web
pages and any associated images to our UniWeb server. Once uploaded, the pages
are immediately viewable with a web browser.
The FTP clients that the UniWeb webspace supports are:
Submit your web site Having the best site in the world is of very little
use if no-one else ever looks at it. The final stage for many people who aren't
content with just their friends and family visiting their site, is to submit
their site to various search engines so that their site is included in the search
engine's index of sites; despite popular belief, they pick up very few from just
randomly trawling the Internet for new sites! We'll see you through the basics
of submitting your site and all that goes with it.
