Web Page Publishing
with FTP
Now that you have completed designing
your web page, the next step is to get your page onto the Web.
Whether you are preparing to upload your personal (non-commercial) home page, which is included with your personal dialup account or are
publishing your business web site, this section will get you started.
If you will be uploading your site with
an FTP program such as CuteFTP or FETCH, select the appropriate link
below:
If you still have questions, please visit our Frequently
Asked Questions section .
Uploading a
Personal Home Page
http://www.kcnet.com/~username
Included with your personal dialup account is web
site space on our server for your personal (non-commercial) web page. We
ask that all pages posted in the personal area be non-commercial and
presentable to the general public. We reserve the right to remove
a home page that doesn't comply with our policy. For more
information on our policies at KCnet, please review our Terms
of Service.
The standard personal home page included with your
account is hosted on a Unix based web server which does not support
Microsoft® FrontPage® 2000 extensions, although you may still use FrontPage
for creating and publishing your web site to your standard home page.
Please refer to the Microsoft article Using
FrontPage without the Server Extensions for a discussion on
which FrontPage elements to avoid.
If the additional FrontPage features are required,
we offer a personal home page upgrade for $2/month on a Windows NT
server which includes the latest FrontPage extensions. For help
with publishing to your personal home page with FrontPage please visit
our FrontPage help
section.
If you are interested in publishing a commercial
page, please contact our staff for
assistance in acquiring a commercial site.
Once your pages are created, you will need to
upload them to our web server. You will more than likely
need an FTP client. For Windows 3.x and Win95/NT users, we
recommend CuteFTP. For the
Macintosh, try either Fetch
or Anarchie. Using an FTP client, you will need to
connect to our FTP server, ftp.kcnet.com, and login with your username
and password. Once connected your current directory
location will default to /username. This is the directory
that is setup to hold your web files. Make sure you are publishing
to this directory by leaving the 'Initial Remote Directory' box within
CuteFTP blank. Refer to the CuteFTP example.

Many of the new HTML editors like Netscape Gold
and Composer have built-in publishing functionality. This allows
one to create and publish from the same program. If you use one of
these programs, you will probably be asked for a View (browse) location
and a Publish location. The View location is just the address of
your web site, http://www.kcnet.com/~username.
The Publish location is the location of our FTP
server and the path to your home directory, ftp://ftp.kcnet.com/username.
Refer to the Netscape Gold and Netscape Composer examples.

Uploading
Commercial Web Sites
http://www.kcnet.com/mycompany or http://www.mycompany.com
There are several ways to upload or publish your
files to the web server. One easy method is using an ftp client such
as CuteFTP or Fetch. When copying files with ftp, you will
need to know the server name and the directory path of the target location
where you intend to put your files along with your valid username
and password.
These instructions are for publishing a commercial
web site on a KCnet's UNIX web servers.
- If your web site is a kcnet.com domain web site
with a URL such as:
http://www.kcnet.com/mycompany
then the server name will be www.kcnet.com
- If your web site is a virtual host site (your own
domain name) with a URL such as:
http://www.mycompany.com
then the server name will be www.mycompany.com
if you have multiple virtual sites hosted with
KCnet using the same username and password, once logged
into the server you will need to change directories to:
/mycompany.com
If your commercial web site is hosted on one of
KCnet's NT web servers with FrontPage access, you should publish
your site with FrontPage, if you need assistance please visit our FrontPage
help section. By default, NT hosted sites do not come with
FTP access enabled. If you require FTP access, please contact
one of our tech support representatives to setup this option.
- If your web site is a kcnet.com domain web site
with a URL such as:
http://www.kcnet.com/mycompany
then, for security reasons, you will not be able
to access your site via FTP.
- If your web site is a virtual host site (your own
domain name) with a URL such as:
http://www.mycompany.com
then the server name will be www.mycompany.com
and the initial remote directory path will be:
/mycompany.com
