Here are the URLs (and/or server filepaths) to use, for upload and browsing, for three different cases: The web-served area of your personal account; the cttap projects area; and the existing school home page area.

Instead of writing pseudo-variables like USERNAME or <school>, I'll just pick one, say, Darryl and Price, and you'll see where obviously to make substitutions. Your usernames are: droberts, elenao, eseifert, jstallins, lpruett, mpal, nbenyona, rfrances, sviltz.

THE WEB-SERVED AREA OF YOUR PERSONAL ACCOUNT

You can use this for practice uploading and seeing how that coordinates to browsing; for drafts and getting started with your partnership project; and as personal web area for whatever you want, within reason. If you do start off your official projects in here, please get them transferred to the official areas before too long. If you would like info on moving files and file-trees around on the server (instead of re-uploading everything), ask me or any of your colleagues who are used to Unix.

For upload, with a tool (like the Publish facility within Netscape Composer) which expects the FTP destination to be given in one compact URL, that URL would be ftp://cuip.uchicago.edu/pub/home2/droberts/www/ .

For upload, with an FTP program (like FTP Explorer) which has different fields in its configuration panel, use these --

Profile Name: whatever you want -- this is just a mnemonic so you find the right one next time. This one might be "Darryl home www".

Host Address: cuip.uchicago.edu

Login: droberts

Anonymous: unchecked

Password: [Darryl's password]

Initial Path: www

[That's because when he connects, non-anonymously, it starts him off in his home directory proper, /pub/home2/droberts/, and this adds the www subfolder. Together the make the full path shown before.] [You COULD use the full absolute path (an absolute path is one that starts with a slash), which would be /pub/home2/droberts/www )

Download Path: arbitrary -- where you want download files to go if you don't specify. But it doesn't affect upload, which is what we're looking at.

The browser URL (regardless of your upload method):
http://cuip.uchicago.edu/~droberts/

(note the tilde, and note that the "www" is skipped.

Suppose Darryl made a subfolder called "cttap" for a draft of the project. To be web-served, it has to go somewhere under his homw www folder. So let's suppose it's directly under there, as /pub/home2/droberts/www/cttap . Then

   the Composer-style upload url becomes ftp://cuip.uchicago.edu/pub/home2/droberts/www/cttap

   the Initial Path in FTP Explorer setup becomes www/cttap

   the browse URL becomes http://cuip.uchicago.edu/~droberts/cttap . Here I can perhaps more clearly than before say, see how the www directory level is skipped in that URL.

THE CTTAP PROJECTS AREA

For upload, with a tool (like the Publish facility within Netscape Composer) which expects the FTP destination to be given in one compact URL, that URL would be ftp://cuip.uchicago.edu/cttap/projects/price

For upload, with an FTP program (like FTP Explorer) which has different fields in its configuration panel, use these --

Profile Name: whatever you want -- this is just a mnemonic so you find the right one next time. This one might be "Darryl CTTAP Price".

Host Address: cuip.uchicago.edu

Login: droberts

Anonymous: unchecked

Password: [Darryl's password]

Initial Path: /cttap/projects/price

The browser URL (regardless of your upload method):
http://cuip.uchicago.edu/cttap/projects/price/

He might also set up the FTP on the partner teacher's PC. Say it's Ms williams. It would also be necessary, if she didn't already have an account on CUIP, to let me know to set one up.

Then the FTP settings would differ only for this:

Login: fwilliams

Password: [Ms Williams's password]

The paths and so on would remain the same.

THE EXISTING SCHOOL HOME PAGE AREA.

Again, this depends on having an account enabled. You are probably not already enabled for the school home page, nor your partner if he/she is not the school's usual web manager. Keep everybody informed so we won't be putting you into a "permission denied" error message.

Suppose the project is given its own subfolder, called "music". (To create this on the server, you could login and use Unix commands [in this case "mkdir /schools/price/music", or use an FTP tool set to start one level higher, in /schools/price/, and find the "make new folder" command. The instructions below make the assumption this folder already exists.)

For upload, with a tool (like the Publish facility within Netscape Composer) which expects the FTP destination to be given in one compact URL, that URL would be ftp://cuip.uchicago.edu/schools/price/music/ .

For upload, with an FTP program (like FTP Explorer) which has different fields in its configuration panel, use these --

Profile Name: whatever you want -- this is just a mnemonic so you find the right one next time. This one might be "Darryl price music"

Host Address: cuip.uchicago.edu

Login: droberts

Anonymous: unchecked

Password: [Darryl's password]

Initial Path: /schools/price/music/

The browser URL (regardless of your upload method):
http://cuip.uchicago.edu/schools/price/music/
