Start FrontPage Express.

Create a Web page as instructed. Use this sample image placeholder.

Save your Web page in c:\My Documents\web as file name index.htm.

Open Internet Explorer and test your page using the File / Open / Browse function.


Use Windows Explorer to create this directory (it may already exist): c:\tempftpx

Obtain your Web Site number from the GB 757 Student Email & Web Site Addresses page.

Start FTP Explorer.

Use the following options to create your individual connection profile:

Profile Name: loyola gb757a?? where ?? is your account 01-30

Add (or save) your profile and connect (press button in top right corner).

Select File / New / Folder. New Folder should appear in the right-side window. Change the name to www (lower-case).

Use FTP Explorer to transfer your Web page to your account. When finished, Tools / Disconnect will close your connection
