Using Transmit to Publish Web
Page Files to Your Scatcat Account
Before publishing your Web page files, you must create
a public_html directory in your home directory on the Scatcat
server. This step only needs to be done once. In
order for your Web page files to be accessible on the Internet,
they must be placed in the public_html directory when they
are published.
To create a public_html folder: Log on
to your Scatcat account with Transmit. From the
menu, click File, and choose New Folder.
Name the new folder public_html, and place it in
the their stuff side. Click OK.
*Caution: Be careful not
to delete or rename system or mail files in your Scatcat
account. This may result in problems with accessing or using your
account. We recommend using the My Documents folder for
personal files. You may also create new folders for your personal
use.
