In the Windows laboratory in MCRey 310,
from the Start menu at the screen's lower left corner,
go into All Programs,
and from there into Computer
Science.
Select HTML-Kit from that submenu. Edit your page
there.
After creating and saving your file, you can view it on your own
computer by going into your Web browser, selecting Open File...
from the File menu, and selecting the file you saved from
HTML-Kit.
If you have your own computer, you can install HTML-Kit on it free of charge. Download it from its official home page.
(You need not use HTML-Kit, as long as you use some text editor where you type every character of the (X)HTML. On the MCRey 310 computers, a more straightforward text editor called jEdit is also available (which you can also download for free). Notepad is also a fairly popular choice.)
You will need a user account on our department's Linux
network, which includes some Web space. To upload a file from the MCRey
310 lab, go to the Start menu at the screen's lower left corner,
and then into All Programs,
and then its Computer
Science
submenu. Select WinSCP from that submenu.
(Again, for other computers, you can download WinSCP from its Web site.)
Within WinSCP, you should connect to
circe.cs.hendrix.edu, typing your Linux user ID and password
when prompted. WinSCP will show the contents of your local
hard drive on the left, and the contents of your Linux
directory on the right. On the left, navigate into the directory
containing your file; if you're working in the laboratory, and you
saved the file under My Documents
, then you should find it
under the Z: option in the drop-down menu at the top left
corner of the window. On the window's right side, navigate into the
www directory on Circe. Drag the file you wish to upload
by dragging it from the left to the right. (If you
wish to download the file, drag from the right to the left.)
After uploading the file, you will be able to view it by visiting the URL http://users.cs.hendrix.edu/~yourLinuxId/filename. For example, if your file is named soln.html, and it is in the assn1 directory, which is in the www directory, then the URL would be http://users.cs.hendrix.edu/~yourLinuxId/assn1/soln.html.
(If you enter the URL http://users.cs.hendrix.edu/~yourLinuxId/assn1/, then the Web server will notice that this refers to a directory, and it will serve the file named index.html inside that directory.)
You may create subdirectories in your ozark directory using WinSCP. WinSCP also contains a simple text editor inside it, which is useful for minor edits without the hassle of downloading and uploading the file.
