 What
shall I do first to set up my web page?
Send us a requesting
mail to office@InfoSky.Net. We
are going to sign you up and open an account enabling you to do that
What
would my URL be?
http://ww1.InfoSky.Net/-username
- which means that it will depend on your user name.
How
do I upload my page?
If you have a
Windows FTP client, the following lines are not necessary. They refer
primarily to those Windows 95 users with FTP client installed.
Type: ftp
ww1.InfoSky.Net from DOS prompt
If the connection is OK, our server will ask you for the username and
password.
If that has gone OK, type cd public_html - you will find yourself
in the basic directory of Your presentation.
Type bin - for binary file transfer.
From Icd (route) go to the wanted directory on your disk - and
you are ready for file transfer of your presentation

General
notes
It makes difference
to our server whether the name of the file is written in small or capital
letters. You should also be careful when linking a file from HTML document.
That means, if you typed picture.jpg for a file named picture.JPG, you
could expect problems. Initial file of your web site has to me named
index.html. Other HTML files may have either .htm or .html extension
YU
characters on the web
The most preferable (and most
commonly used) standard using YU characters is ISO-8859-2 or
Latin2. For its implementation you need a corresponding Windows version
for Central and East Europe, or more specifically, code page No. 28592.
Windows 1250 code page is also acceptable, bearing in mind that
users outside Central Europe do not usually have this code page. Compromising
solution might be avoiding YU characters (i.e. using s,z,c)
And finally, what should be
avoided by all means - YUSCII and some other less standard code pages.
The fact that you can see them clearly does not mean that the rest of
Internet populace can also see them - as a result you get screen full
of unfamiliar characters.
