A Brief Introduction to Front Page | Guides to Web Authoring
Alternatives to the software's "publish feature."
HUM 142 students should see Uploading Files with Tripod's File Manager.
QCC Staff: If uploading from home, you may simply copy and paste the files from your local computer to your account on the server, or--to save time--work directly on the server. If you work on the server, once you save the file there your changes are published on the Internet. See Opening a Web above for directions on access.
HUM 142 students: First be sure your site is FrontPage enabled. At Tripod, set this under "My Account" preferences when you log in. For more assistance in using FrontPage with your Tripod site see http://www.tripod.lycos.com/guides/frontpage.html
1. Under FrontPage's File menu, select Publish Web.
2. In the Publish Destination dialog box type the location of your site
For Tripod users write
http://members.tripod.com/ and add your Tripod
user name after the last forward slash. A dialog box will come up asking you to
enter your network user name (your Tripod member name) and password. Do this and
click OK. You will then see your site--no files yet if you haven't
uploaded anything.
Note: If you have previously chosen a publishing destination for this web
site, the Publish Destination dialog box will not appear. Proceed to step 3.
3. In the
Publish Web dialog box you will see the files on your home computer.
Specify the pages you want to publish.
Click the "show" button in the bottom right to see both your home computer and the server files. (You'll have no files on the server until you've published).
Click Options in the
lower left corner and in the publish tab here, specify how you want FrontPage to determine which pages have
been changed.
Click OK.
4. Click Publish (lower right of publish web dialog box). You should see a graphic indicating files are being transferred, then a confirmation of successful publishing.
5. Be sure to check all the files published to the Internet at your Tripod address.
You may wish to work only on the server. Instead of using the publish web command, just use the Open Web under the file menu and write your Tripod URL (your web address) as http://members.tripod.com/ followed by your Tripod member name after the last forward slash (no space). You'll then be prompted for your Network name and password (same as Tripod member name and password). When you work on the server, just save the file you have changed or created. Once the file is saved, the update or new page is available on the Internet.
Remember you may copy and paste information from a Word file to a FrontPage document and edit the page for web publishing.
