Uploading with the Web
Publishing Wizard
The Web
Publishing Wizard from Microsoft
is convenient for publishing files from your PC to your Web site. You can choose to upload
an entire folder (directory) from your system, or just a file if you like. However, unlike
an FTP program, the Web Publishing Wizard does not offer the ability to see a clear
listing of what files are on the JVLNET server side as well as your own hard drive. We
highly recommend the use of an FTP program such as WS_ftp, which can be downloaded here..

Making Your Homepage

your homepage index.html. This will make your homepage address:
