Creating and Posting a Web Page with Netscape's Composer

We need to create a telnet session to ezinfo.  You should have an ezinfo account already.  The user name and password are the same as your WindowsNT one.

Connect to ezinfo. 

• Start Menu -> Communications -> telnet to host -> type ezinfo

When the screen appears you should see something like:

• Choose option 7 to exit to the UNIX Prompt
  • Don't panic you don't have worry about any UNIX commands!
• At the %ezinfo prompt type the word spinweb and hit enter
  • You will see a series of file permissions set.  This is necessary because all your web files need to be world readable or else no one can access them through the web.   Fortunately spinweb creates all the necessary files and permissions for you.
• At the ezinfo% prompt type cd www and hit enter
  • This changes your current diretory to www
• Then type pwd and hit enter
  • This allows you to view the path of your www directory.  We will use this when we set up Netscape Composer
• You should see a screen like the following:

• Copy down your path exactly.  You will need to use it to set up netscape to publish your web pages.

• Now just type quit at the ezinfo% prompt.
