Upload and View Your Student Web Pages
Uploading your Web pages to ramsites.net
To upload Web pages that you create on your Macintosh or a PC to the ramsites.net Web server, use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) program. While working on-campus you may use Fetch (Mac) or Filezilla FTP (PC) to transfer your files. While working off-campus you may use Fetch (Mac), Filezilla, or SSH (PC) to transfer your files.
We do not support PHP or ASP on Ramsites.
Using FrontPage to Upload
The student and student organization Web servers DO NOT support FrontPage extensions; however, students may use FrontPage to create, manage, and upload their Web pages.
Using Dreamweaver to Upload
You may use Macromedia Dreamweaver to create, manage, and upload your Web pages. You must enter the FTP Host (ramsites.net) and the Host Directory (public_html/) in the FTP section of the Remote Info section of the Edit option. This allows you to "Get Files" and "Put Files" on the sever.
Using Filezilla
Please visit the FTP Tutorial for more information on how to use the FTP Program.
Viewing your Web Site
The URL address for your Web pages is http://ramsites.net/~[userid]/index.html where "[userid]" is your login id on the system and 'index.html' is the file name of your home page. Remember, in order for browsers to process HTML documents properly, the "filename" must end in ".html" (or .htm). If no filename is included then the browser looks for a file named index.html.
A Note About FrontPage, Databases, and CGI scripts
The student and student organization Web servers DO NOT support FrontPage extensions; however, students may use FrontPage to create, manage, and upload their Web pages. Databases are also not available for use with student webpages. CGI scripts via CGI-Wrap are available.
