Publishing Your Site
Once you have your pages ready to go, it's time to put it up on the web server and check it out. You will need to use an FTP program, such as WS-FTP for Windows, Cyberduck for Mac, or FileZilla for all platforms, to put your pages on the server.
WS-FTP can be downloaded for free here:

Host Name/Address: cougar.isg.siue.edu
Host Type: Automatic Detect
User ID: your e-id
Password: your e-id password
Then click OK and you should be logged in. You should see a directory on the right half of the screen named html. This is the directory where all of you pages, pictures, etc. you want to show up on the web will go. Double click on the html directory to open it.
On the left half of your screen you will need to navigate to the folder you saved your web pages and other files. The directory you are in now is at the top, you can navigate to the correct directory by double clicking on the green up arrow to go back a directory and then double clicking on the directory you want to view when you see it.
