Publishing Your Web Page

When you're finished creating your page, you need to publish it to allow others to see it on the Internet.

  1. Click on the Publish button on your toolbar. You'll see the following window:



  2. Next to Page Title, enter the title of your page. You can use uppercase or lowercase letters, as well as spaces and special characters. Next to HTML Filename: enter the name of the file - preferrably all lowercase letters with no dashes, spaces or special characters. If you've saved the file already, this information should show up automatically when you open the Publish window.



  3. Now you need to find your FTP address. This is based on your area of study at NSU. Please refer to the list below:

    Undergraduate ONLY
    ftp://polaris.nova.edu/home/username/public_html

    Graduate Education ONLY
    ftp://fgse.nova.edu/home/username/public_html

    Graduate Computer Science ONLY
    ftp://scis.nova.edu/home/username/public_html

    Oceanography ONLY
    ftp://ocean.nova.edu/home/username/public_html

    Graduate Business ONLY
    ftp://sbe.nova.edu/home/username/public_html

    Health Professions ONLY
    ftp://hpd.nova.edu/home/username/public_html

    Law ONLY
    ftp://law.nova.edu/home/username/public_html

    Humanities and Social Sciences ONLY
    ftp://shss.nova.edu/home/username/public_html

    Graduate Psychology ONLY
    ftp://cps.nova.edu/home/username/public_html

    Administrative Staff ONLY
    ftp://nsu.nova.edu/home/username/public_html

    In all cases you need to substitute "username" with your NSU email name. For example, I am an Administrative Staff member so my ftp address is ftp://nsu.nova.edu/home/tamara/public_html



  4. Next you need to enter your username and password. Your username is your NSU email name. Your password is a combination of four letters and four numbers. Both should be entered with all lowercase letters. Put a check next to Save password.

  5. Under Other files to include, you should always have Files associated with this page selected.

  6. Click on OK. After you've successfully published your page, all the information in the Publish window will be saved.

  7. To view your page, go to http://www.nova.edu/~username where username is your NSU email name.
