I\u2019d suggest creating a folder called \u2018html_local\u2019 in your Documents folder, accessible through your Home Folder, and you should develop directory structure and files in there.<\/p>\n
Inside this folder you should create a subdirectory for each website you work on (e.g. ‘digital_design’). This will be the ‘local’ ‘root’ folder for your website files.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s good practice to keep different types of files separate, so inside your root directory create three more subdirectories, called \u2018images\u2019, \u2018css\u2019, and \u2018scripts\u2019.<\/p>\n
Finally, your webspace will need a homepage, so you should create an HTML page using a suitable editor (e.g. Dreamweaver), and call it \u2018index.html\u2019, placed directly inside your \u2018root\u2019 directory.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll need to copy any folder and files you make or amend to your ‘remote’ folder on the playground webspace.<\/p>\n
You can access your playground webspace using the Finder\u2019s Go > Connect to Server function.<\/p>\n
You should connect using:\u00a0smb:\/\/playground.eca.ed.ac.uk\/playground_people\/sXXXXXXX\/html<\/p>\n
You’ll need to enter your username and password as if you were logging on to one of the lab machines.<\/p>\n
The folder called \u2018html\u2019 is your world readable webspace, so anything you want people to see must be placed in there. We can copy across individual files or folders. <\/p>\n
More information on connecting to your webspace on your own computers can be found on the Computing WIKI<\/a> (NB you’ll need to use the details above (but without the smb:\/\/ bit) NOT what’s in the examples on this page).<\/p>\n Connecting on your own Mac is pretty simple as long as you’re connected to the University’s VPN<\/a>. After that you can follow the instructions above.
