Web Editing from Home

Here's how to edit your web files from home or from some place other than the TEP computer lab:

1. Connect to the Internet. If you're using a modem, connect to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or whatever other way you connect.
   

2. Start up your FTP application (ie. for Macs, Fetch; for Win, WS_FTP, or CuteFTP, or whatever)
3. Transfer the files from the TEP server to your local disk (if you don't already have them there - if you're always editing from home, you can skip these first three steps)
   

4. Edit/modify/create your web (HTML) files, using either a commercial web editor (Claris HomePage, Microsoft FrontPage, PageMill, etc.), a free editor (Netscape 4), or even Microsoft Word. (If you use Word, be sure you "Save As" HTML)
   

5. verify that what you've created is what you want, but viewing the modified or created web files with your web browser (Netscape or IE). You can "open locally" a file that is on your own computer.
6. When you're done and happy with what you've created, re-establish your connection to the Internet
7. use your FTP application to transfer the modified/created files back to the server
