Using Netscape Navigator Gold 3.0

Netscape's Navigator Gold 3.0 not only allows you to browse the Web, but it also has to ability to edit and publish your own pages. Navigator Gold works best if you've been using it to create the pages, although it is possible to use Navigator Gold to up load a page that you designed with some other program. Once you've completed the work on the actual page and you're ready to transfer them to our system, just do the following.

With your page loaded in the editor, click on File then Publish.

The Publish Window

The Publish Files window is a bit more complex. The first setting that needs to be entered is the Upload files to this location field. To fill in this setting you need to know two things:

Your login name (for example if your email address was bobr@wco.com then your login name would be just bobr).

Your home directory which will usually look something like /home1/b/bobr. If you don't know your home directory, don't panic. Either send a message to support and ask what your home directory is. Or you can call 1-800-926-4683 for West Coast Online Technical Support and ask what your home directory is.

Fill in the Upload files to this location field with:

ftp://ftp.wco.com

Then add the end of that your home directory. From the above bobr example:

ftp://ftp.wco.com/home1/b/bobr

Finally add a /public_html to the end of what you've typed so far:

ftp://ftp.wco.com/home1/b/bobr/public_html

Next type your login name in the User name field in all lower case. Now type your password in the password field. That's it. Click OK to send your page to our server.
