Posting an HTML page on a UNIX Web Server

[MCSE]

I am trying to post a regualar HTML document to a UNIX web server. I am running Windows 98 with Office 2000 and all that good stuff. I have almost every Web development package you can think of. I need to know how to post a single HTML document to a UNIX server. If you got any ideas let me know.

ftp it over.

chmod 755 it.

Some of the more paranoid nerdy Unix ops even block any remote access to their machines except for Secure Shell connections, which encrypts the passwords send. In that case you are advised to start a ftp server on your machine and then ftp to it from the shell. It's a bit complicated, but it works.

Of course, you usually have to store the files in a 'public_html' folder (can I say folder for Unix?) (or something like that to make them visible to the outside).

General hardware, eh?

Regarding the ssh stuff:
You don't need to start an ftp server on your own computer, you could just use scp to copy it.

And thanks to the legendary proprietary pay-me-lots-and-lots-o-your-money-for-buggy-software boy wonder Bill Gates, Unix ASCII is slightly different from dos/windows ASCII. Make sure that when you are ftping over the html files, you are in "ascii" mode, and not binary mode. When you are ftping over the pictures, make sure that you are in "binary" mode and not ascii.

Right, ftp-ing an MP3 file in ASCII mode is not good.

If MS doesn't teach you this, what ARE you certified to do?
