HOMEPAGE

Create Web Space

set aside web space on the "homepage" server for your web site

Instructions for using WebDav:

WebDav is a secure file sharing method specifically designed for web page editing. Most web page editing programs include WebDav for uploading files. Additionally, you can access the files directly from your computer. For MacOS select "Go->Connnect To Server" or use a program call Goliath. For Windows XP use "My Network Places" . After you have created web space with the link above, you will need to configure your WebDav software for saving your web pages to our web server. Here is the general configuration information all WebDav software will need:

WebDav Server:

http://webdav.westmont.edu:88/{your email account}

Example: http://webdav.westmont.edu:88/gsmith

Your Login Information:
Use your email account name, without the "@westmont.edu" and your email password.

Seeing Your Site on the Web:
You site will be located at:
http://homepage.westmont.edu/{your email account}/{name of html file}

Because Adobe GoLive is the web page editor used on-campus, specific instructions are provided here:

In GoLive:

1. After a new site is created, go to settings under SITE.
2. Click on the FTP and WebDav server in the left menu to configure the server.
3. Edit the server under WebDav. FTP is not used.
4. Create a nickname for the server.
5. Type in the address for the server. For GoLive you will need to use:
http://webdav.westmont.edu:88
6. In the directory field, type / then your username, which is your email address.
7. The username field should also contain your email address.
8. The password is the one you use for your Westmont email account.
9. Now connect to the server.
10. Once you are connected, edit files in the left side of the screen and then transfer them to the right side to place them on the server. These files are NOT backed up.
