Publishing Pages

Using an FTP client such as Filezilla or WinSCP, log into the account where the web pages are to appear using the credentials for that account. The server is ftp.abdn.ac.uk and the port is 21

Create a folder called public_html

Upload your files into the public_html folder

You now need to publish your files to ensure they display. If your pages are to appear under the homepages.abdn.ac.uk domain, click on the following link:

If your pages are to appear under the www.abdn.ac.uk domain and are for corporate use, click on the following link:
