For Athena:

There are two steps for web publishing. Step one is to get the file .html into your athena locker. Step two is to get this file published on the web. We will look into step two first, since it does not depend on your having a PC or a MAC:

Make sure you are in your personal directory where you file in HTML format is stored. To publish a website, all you do is go to the directory with the YOURFILE.html.
Type command

athena% ls

to make sure it is the correct directory.
Then type

athena% attach 12.000

Then COPY this file by typing the following command into your future directory
(all on one line, with a space before /mit...):

athena% cp YOURFILE.html /mit/12.000/www/m2006/teams/YOUR_MITNAME/YOURFILE.html

If you are interested in publishing any website in the future in your own directory on athena you must COPY this file into your /www/ directory:
athena% cp YOURFILE.html www/YOURFILE.html

(alternatively, you can type mv instead of cp, but that will move the file, whereas you may want to copy it, so as not to accidentally overwrite good work).

then log in Netscape or any browser type: http://web.mit.edu/YOURUSERNAME/www/YOURFILE.html

to check how it looks. Note: the file is actually located in:

/afs/athena.mit.edu/user/p/r/pritmit/www/ directory if your username is abcdef, then after user you type /user/a/b/abcde... .

----------------------------------------------------------
Step one is only needed is if you are not working on athena, and are creating .html pages on your home computer, so this step is dependant on your platform. The summary of how to transfer files securely: http://web.mit.edu/cwis/secure-xfer/

Several guidelines are give on the website:
