The Web Publishing Process

There are several steps involved in publishing pages to the Web

:

A.

Connect to the Web server

B.

Prepare the Web server account to enable it to function as a server for Web 

files

C.

Transfer the necessary files from the local machine to the Web server

D.

Set permissions for the transferred files so that they can be seen on the Web

E.

Verify publishing success by viewing the published files in a Web browser

Connecting to the Web Server

The first step in publishing files is connecting to the Web server. A secure 

communications protocol called 

Secure Shell 2 (SSH2)

 is used to make this 

connection. There are several applications available that use SSH2, including 

SSH Secure Shell (Windows) and MacSSH (Mac). 

NOTE: Another common communications protocol, Telnet, does not meet 

new security standards, and therefore is no longer supported for use 

on Steel. 

You will connect to Steel using SSH Secure Shell.
