Submitting your web page project

Assuming that your files are located in mydir, and you are logged in to a unix (such as the ICAEN or CGRER system) computer, perform the following commands in order to create a gzipped, tar file. You should be located in the directory containing your page. Please replace myfile with your login name in the instructions.

  1. change to whatever directory your web page is in.
  2. tar -cvf myfile.tar filename1.* filename2.* filename3.* ...
    (Assuming all your files have a name of the sort abcdefg.html and abcdefg.gif, etc...)
  3. gzip myfile.tar
Now FTP myfile.tar.gz to the CGRER system, change to the incoming directory, change the transfer type to binary, and put the file on the CGRER system.
  1. ftp ftp.cgrer.uiowa.edu
    -login: anonymous
    -passwd: your email address
  2. cd incoming
  3. bin
  4. put myfile.tar.gz
  5. bye
You can send an email to jmoen@cgrer.uiowa.edu after you have done the ftp to check if the web pages were transferred properly.

If all else fails, please copy your all of your web page files (.html and graphics) onto a PC formatted disk (floppy, zip, etc), and give to Greg Carmichael.
