Oops! This is an H1 Header

I Forgot How to Make a New Webpage File: This is a H2 Header

Ah, well. Life happens. Even if you forgot to write down the steps, you are no longer totally lost. Print out this webpage, and keep it next to you as you work. You should also use the print outs of the Basic Unix Commands and the HTML codes (available in your Writing Online text or available on many webpages) to make your life easier. Remember, most of the guides you need are webbed at CSUN'S ITR Technology Training Guides.

When you made your first web page. You a cut and pasted very simple, very basic template from the web page directly into a new file in public_html directory in your CSUN account. In your HOME DIRECTORY at CSUN, typing ls at the CSUN prompt returns a list of your documents and directories. You should public_html. You may have seen other things as well, but we are only concerned with the public_html directory right now.

At this point you need to MOVE yourself to your public_html directory.

cd public_html.
You can take advantage of the wildcard * and type:
cd pub*

Once you are in your public_html, type ls (the Unix command for list) to see what is in your public_html. You should see cvr.html, or whatever you have named your files. Once in your public_html directory, you can use the PICO editor to edit or create new files.

pico filename.html

For cutting and pasting a new file:
If you have a text file already on your floppy disk, simply put the floppy disk into the disk drive, open up notepad:

Once notepad opens, click on OPEN, then move to the A: drive, then find your text document.

Once you actually have some text in notepad, add the HTML tags. Use your Writing Online book to help you with simple HTML.

Once you have added all the HTML tags, follow the same steps as last week. Go to your CSUN account, cd public_html, and type pico filename.html. This will open a new file with the name filename.html. Paste in what you worked on in notepad. Then SAVE by typing:
CONTROL X -- this is the exit funtion on your menu at the bottom --
YES -- when the prgram asks if you want to save from buffer
AND CARRIAGE RETURN aka the ENTER key (you can rename your file at this point if you like)

Do not forget to make your NEW file readable by typing:
chmod a+r * (there IS a space between a+r and *)
each time you have made and saved a new file.

Go to your CSUN webpages in Netscape and take a look. Remember, your webpage is http://www.csun.edu/~yourloginaccountname. Edit as many times as neccesary until you like the way the page looks. Don't forget to reload Netscape everytime you re-save.

An Alternative Way to Add New Documents: This is an H3 Header

Once FTP has opened two windows, make sure you change the proper directories, both on the computer you are working on and your CSUN account.

It's very important that you learn to read the screen: this is an H4 Header

and figure out what is going wrong: this is an H5 Header

You can do all this from a home computer by following these directions: this is an H6 header
All you need to do is connect to your CSUN account by telneting to CSUN directly.

This next bit is surrounded by PRE tags. It shows exactly what is on the screen.

Open up your web browser (Netscape works best).
Type:

telnet://csun2.csun.edu

in the location window.
