FrontPage Web Publishing Note FrontPage Extentions are not supported on the main campus web server (for web pages served by www.mines.edu URLs). There is a trick to publishing your www.mines.edu website via FrontPage. To publish via FrontPage to the main CSM web server, you will need to use FTP services. Also, FrontPage expects the location of your web directory relative to the location of your login directory. To make it easier you can create a shortcut or "symbolic link" to your web directory in your slate home directory. Things you need to know before starting this: Your Slate username and password. For this example we will use username jdoe. The location of your website directory. For this example will will use: /www/students/j/jdoe/ (You should have been given your website directory location when your website was created.) Step 1: Set Up a Symbolic Link to Your Web Directory Log into your Slate account (with telnet or ssh). At the command prompt, type the following:   ln -s <webdirectory> public_html (substitute your webdirectory location) "jdoe" would type:   ln -s /www/students/j/jdoe/ public_html (you can substitute another directory name for "public_html") Step 2: After you have created a web page using FrontPage software and are ready to publish it to your website... If you have more than one FrontPage web area defined, select your CSM website. Select from the FrontPage menu area:   File > Publish Web... Type the following into the box labled "Specify the location to publish your web to:":   ftp://slate.mines.edu/public_html/ (substitute for "public_html" if you substituted in step 1) Click "Publish".
