When you first create your site on your PC or Macintosh, that is the only place it exists. Since your computer is not a server, no one else can see your Web pages. Once you are ready to have your site viewable, you must copy it onto a server. The instructions that follow are for copying it onto your bama.ua.edu account. If you are publishing your site to any other server, you must see that server's administrators for instructions.
More information is available.
In order to publish to your bama account, you need to use an FTP client. If you have never put anything on this account, it should not show any files, but the directory should still be displayed. Macintosh Open Fetch. From the Remote menu, choose Put Folders and Files . Navigate to your main Web directory and highlight all files and folders inside it.
