Manage Your Web Presence

Adding an

Access Counter

With Web Hosting service, you can use a graphical counter on your HTML pages. This counter allows you to keep track of the number of times one or more pages have been accessed by people on the Internet. Adding this counter to your existing HTML pages requires nothing more than a couple of additional lines of HTML code:

Syntax:

<p>This page has been accessed <img src="/cgi.share/counter.cgi?id= [your ACCOUNTNAME]&pageid=[uniquepage id]"> times.</p>

The [your ACCOUNTNAME] must be replaced with the account name you use to access FTP through Web Hosting. It must be entered and coded with lowercase letters. The [unique page id] represents a brief, one-word identification for the page this counter will appear on. You can make up any page ID you like. By placing unique identification codes on different pages (see examples below) within your site, you can support multiple counters. This will allow you to evaluate the popularity of each section of your site.

When you add the counter to your page, it is completely normal to see a broken image icon in place of the counter the first time you load your new page. Reload the page using your viewer. The broken image will disappear and will be replaced by the new counter, which reads 2. The broken image is the result of the counter being initialized on that page for the first time.

Examples If a customer with an account name of “widgets” wants to place a counter on her home page, the following code would be added to index.html file:

Syntax:

<p>This page has been accessed

<img src="/cgi.share/counter.cgi?id=widgets&pageid=homepage">times.</p>

To keep track of the number of accesses on specific pages, use the following code. This example is for a page called “demo”:

Syntax:

<p>This page has been accessed

<img src="/cgi.share/counter.cgi?id=widgets&pageid=demo">times.</p>

The two above-mentioned pages (index.html and demonstrate.html) would have independent counters keeping track of their popularity.

(6)

Examples cont’d The running totals for the identified pages on your site are kept in a file called count.txt. You can find this file in your Admin directory. Within it, you will see a list of the pages you have identified, along with the number of times the page has been accessed up to this point. For example, if “widgets” were to take a look at her Admin/count.txt file at some time in the near future, she might see something like this:

:demo:271: :homepage:350:

This indicates that the demonstrate page has been accessed 271 times since the counter was added, and the homepage page has been accessed 350 times. This script was developed for the exclusive use of the Web Hosting customers.

You can only use it on pages that reside on Web Hosting resources. An error will result if you attempt to add a counter to a page within a URL or domain that Web Hosting does not host.

(7)

Creating Image Maps

Background

Images in your Web documents can be set up to allow Internet users to select specific areas of an image and link to other resources (HTML documents, CGI programs, etc.). A common method to accomplish this is “server-side” image mapping. The procedure for setting up image maps for your hosted pages is described below. In addition, please note that there is a new feature on browsers which enables an image mapping alternative called “client-side” image maps (client-side refers to end user equipment). You can also explore client-side image maps as an additional option in your pages.

Getting Started

You will need an image (gif or jpeg) and a map file for the image. The map file is a Text Only file that matches defined regions of the image to specific Web resources. The coordinates of the defined regions are in pixels, so you’ll need a graphics

program, which can display measurements in pixels. Alternatively, there are programs available for Macintosh, UNIX, and Windows that can assist you in this process. Please see Tucows for image mapping software:

Win 3.x – http://tucows.pdnt.com/imap.html or Win 95/98 – http://tucows.pdnt.com/imap95.html or Mac – http://tucows.pdnt.com/mac/htmlacc.html.

Creating a

Map File

1. Determine the coordinates of the regions within the image. Specifying a region within the image is determined by the x,y coordinates of the region. The

coordinates are based on the x,y position of the region in relation to the start of the image in the upper left corner (x,y coordinates for the start of the image are 0,0). Each region is defined by at least two sets of x,y coordinates. For example, the coordinates for the upper left corner of the region and the lower right corner of the region define rectangles. There are various methods to define the shape of the region – see below for more details.

2. Create an ASCII text file with the .map extension that contains the coordinates for the areas you want to link. Each line in the .map file specifies a clickable region. Lines have the following format:

Method This descriptor defines the shape of the region specified. Possible methods are listed below.

URL This is the page or location to which you wish

to direct the viewer’s browser.

Coordinate 1/Coordinate 2 These numbers define the x,y coordinates of the active region.

(8)

Possible Methods • Point URL x,y specifies a clickable point in the image. This is useful if you click an undefined area because the click is then sent to the closest point to the clicked area.

• Circle URL x,y x,y specifies a circle. Circles need two coordinates – the circle center and any point on the circle’s edge.

• Rect URL x,y x,y specifies a rectangle by its upper left and lower right corners. • Poly URL x,y x,y… specifies a polygon of up to 100 sides. Each x,y pair is the point where two sides of the polygon meet. The last x,y pair is connected to the first to enclose the polygon.

• Default URL defines the URL to jump to when someone clicks in an area not specified by any regions. If you use a point in the map file, then the default is never used.

Here is an

example.map file: Sample image maps map file

rect http://www.yourdomain/hot/ 123,150 240,250

circle http://www.yourdomain/circle.git 37,39 32,62

poly http://www.yourdomain/p.git 175,35 190,5

200,10 220,9 (Note that lines beginning with # are comments ignored by the software use www.yourdomain).

Referencing

Your Image Map

Inside your HTML document, you will need to define the image as an image map. The format to do so is:

Syntax:

<a href="location of map file"><img src="location of image" ISMAP></a>

Here is an Example: <a href="/map/test.map"><img src="/img/test.gif" ISMAP></a>

You will need to determine where to store your .map files. We suggest placing your .map files in the same location as your HTML files. Another option would be to create a map directory at the root of your Web document to store all of the .map files. This would allow you to have a central location for all .map files. Please remember that your .map files MUST end with the extension .map.

Creating Feedback Forms

Overview

As a Web content provider, you will probably want an easy way to receive feedback from your customers and/or visitors. One way is via forms. We have customized a package called FormMail for use by Web Hosting customers. With this package, you can create simple to elaborate forms to collect information and have the data e-mailed to you.

FormMail is designed to be used by all customers with minimal configuration necessary on the part of Web Hosting. With this flexibility, you will need to incorporate some information on your forms. The following information will help you get started creating feedback forms.

Please report questions or suggestions to the Web Hosting Webmaster, webmaster@tds.net.

Requirements

All Web Hosting-sponsored scripts use a shared script area for all customers. This area is called cgi.share and has been automatically activated for all Web Service customers. You should use http://www.yourdomainname/cgi.share/ as the shared script archive. The Feedback Form mailer has been configured to only accept submissions from Web Hosting customers’ domains. If you are a virtual Web service customer, your domain has automatically been placed in this configuration list. You will not be able to use the Web Hosting Feedback mailer if the form you are using does not originate from a Web Hosting server. If you use an additional Internet service provider for testing purposes or building remote sites, the feedback form mailer will not work until the form is residing on a server. This applies to customized Web directory service customers.

Form

Configuration

The action of your form needs to point toward your Form Mail script and the method must be POST or GET in capital letters.

Example: <form method=POST

action=http://www.yourdomainname/cgi.share/mailer.cgi>

Form Field

Viewers

There is only one form field that you must have in your form for FormMail to work correctly. This is the recipient field.

Field: recipient This form field allows you to specify to whom you wish your form results to be mailed. Most likely, you will want to configure this option as a hidden form field with a value equal to that of your e-mail address.

Syntax:

(10)

The Following

Fields Are

Optional

Field: subject The subject field will allow you to specify the subject that you wish to appear in the e-mail that is sent to you after this form has been filled out. If you do not have this option turned on, then the script will default to a message subject: WWW Form Submission.

If you wish to choose what the subject is: Syntax:

<input type=hidden name="subject" value="Your Subject"> To allow the user to choose a subject:

Syntax:

<input type=text name="subject">

Field: e-mail This form field will allow the user to specify their return e-mail address. If you want to be able to return e-mail to your user, we strongly suggest that you include this form field and allow them to fill it in. This will be put into the “From:” field of the message you receive.

Syntax:

<input type=text name="email">

Field: realname The realname form field will allow the user to input his or her real name. This field is useful for identification purposes and will also be put into the From: line of your message header.

Syntax:

<input type=text name="realname">

Field: redirect If you wish to redirect the user to a different URL rather than having them see the default response to the fill-out form, you can use this hidden variable to send them to a pre-made HTML page.

To choose the URL they will end up at: Syntax:

<input type=hidden name="redirect" value= http://www.yourdomainname/file.html>

To allow them to specify a URL they wish to travel to once the form is filled out: Syntax:

(11)

Altering Input

from Viewers

Field: required You can require certain fields in your form to be filled in before the user can successfully submit the form. Simply place all field names that you want to be mandatory into this required field. If the required fields are not filled in, the user will be notified of what needs to be filled in, and a link back to the form they just

submitted will be provided.

If you want to require that they fill in the e-mail and phone fields in your form, so that you can reach them once you have received the mail, use a syntax like:

Syntax:

<input type=hidden name="required" value="email,phone">

Field: env_report This field allows you to include the environment variables in the e-mail message you receive after a user has filled out your form. This is useful information if you wish to know which browser they were using, which domain they were coming from, or any other attributes associated with environment variables. Following is a short list of valid environment variables that might be useful:

REMOTE_HOST Send the host name making a request

REMOTE_ADDR Send the IP address of the remote host making the request REMOTE_USER If server supports authentication and script is protected, this is

the user name they have authenticated. This is not usually set. REMOTE_IDENT If HTTP server supports RFC 931 identification, then this

variable will be set to the remote user name retrieved from the server. This is not usually set.

HTTP_USER_AGENT The browser the client is using to send the request. General format: software/version library/version.

If you wanted to find the remote host and browser sending the request, you would put the following into your form:

Syntax:

<input type=hidden name="env_report" value="REMOTE_HOST_HTTP_USER_AGENT">

Field: sort This field allows you to choose the order in which you wish your variables to appear in the e-mail that FormMail generates. You can choose to have the field sorted alphabetically or specify a set order in which you want the fields to appear in your mail message. By leaving this field out, the order will simply default to the order in which the browser sends the information to the script (which isn’t always the exact order they appeared in the form). When sorting by a set order of fields, you should include the phrase “order:” as the first part of your value for the sort field, and then follow that with the field names you want to be listed in the e-mail message, separated by commas.

(12)

To sort alphabetically: Syntax:

<input type=hidden name="sort" value="alphabetic">

To sort by a set field order: Syntax:

<input type=hidden name="sort" value = "order:name1,name2, etc…">

Field:

print_config Print_config allows you to specify which of the configuration variables you would like to have printed in your e-mail messages. By default, no configuration fields are printed to your e-mail. This is because the important form fields, like e-mail, subject, etc., are included in the header of the message. However, some users have asked for this option so they can have these fields printed in the body of the message. The configuration fields that you wish to have printed should be in the value attribute of your input tag, separated by commas.

If you want to print the e-mail and subject fields in the body of your message, you would place the following code:

Syntax:

<input type=hidden name="print_config" value="email,subject">

Changing

Appearance of

Form Page

Field: title This form field allows you to specify the title and header that will appear on the resulting page if you do not specify a redirect URL.

If you wanted a title of “Feedback Form Results”: Syntax:

<input type=hidden name="title" value="Feedback Form Results">

Field: return_link_url This field allows you to specify a URL that will appear as return_link_title, on the following report page. This field will not be used if you have the redirect field set, but it is useful if you allow the user to receive the report on the following page, but want to offer them a way to get back to your main page.

Syntax:

<input type=hidden name="return_link_url" value = “http://www.yourdomainname/file.html”>

(13)

Field:

return_link_title This is the title that will be used to link the user back to the page you specify with return_link_url. The two fields will be shown on the resulting form page as: return_link_title

Syntax:

<input type=hidden name="return_link_title" value="Back to Main Page">

Field:

background This form field allows you to specify a background image that will appear if you do not have the redirect field set. This image will appear as the background to the form results page.

Syntax:

<input type=hidden name="background" value=http://www.yourdomainname/pix.gif>

Adjusting

Color Attributes of

Form Page

Field: bgcolor This form field allows you to specify a background color for the Form Results page in much the same way you specify a background image. This field should not be set if the redirect field has been set:

For a background color of white, use the syntax:

<input type=hidden name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF">

Field: text_color This field works in the same way as background color, but it will change the color of your text.

For a text color of black: Syntax:

<input type=hidden name="text_color" value="#000000">

Field: link_color Link_color changes the color of links on the resulting page. It works in the same way as text_color. This option should not be defined if redirect is defined.

For a link color of red... Syntax:

<input type=hidden name="link_color" value="#FF0000">

Field: vlink_color Vlink_color changes the color of visited links on the resulting page. It works exactly the same as link_color. It should not be set if redirect has been set.

For a visited link color of blue... Syntax:

(14)

Field: alink_color Alink_color changes the color of active links on the resulting page, and functions exactly the same as link_color. It should not be set if redirect has been set. For a visited link color of blue...

Syntax:

<input type=hidden name="alink_color" value="#0000FF">

Customizing the

Appearance

of Your Form

Any other form fields that appear in your script will be mailed back to you and

displayed on the resulting page if you do not have the redirect field set. There is no limit as to how many other form fields you can use with this form, except the limits imposed by browsers and your server.

Syntax:

Sample Source Code <HTML>

<HEAD><TITLE>Sample Widgets Feedback Form</TITLE> </HEAD>

<BODY BGCOLOR="#80FF80">

Adding A Message Board

Overview

The Message Board script will allow you to include an area for people to post com-ments or messages within your site. It is necessary to install the message board in your site before it will work. You will find the installation form at the following address: http://www.yourdomain/cgiadmin/setup

A dialog box will pop up authorizing you to enter your account name and Web password. The above text is also a link to the form, for your convenience.

Using the

Installation Form

You must supply your message board title and a unique code for your Message Board in the first two text fields. For example, if Widget wanted to create a message board, they would fill in the first text box with “Widget’s Message Board” and the second text box with “board1”.

There are four general options that you can set, which will affect the features of your message board:

1- Allow HTML in messages

If you don’t want your users to be able to enter HTML tags into their messages, make sure this option is not checked. This is selected by default.

2- Previous message text in reply

This places the text of the previous message, offset by a colon, into the body of the reply. Your users can then choose to edit this as they please. Most everyone will be familiar with this feature; it’s fairly standard practice in the newsgroups, for example. This is selected by default.

3- Include the time in replies

If you want the time to be included in the date stamp on all the messages, make sure this option is checked. This is selected by default. Note that the date is always there; only the time can be omitted by deselecting this option. This is selected by default. 4- Subject Presentation Method

There are three choices. Quote Original Subject, Allow Changes, will allow your

viewer to enter a unique subject line for every message on your board, including replies. Using this option also places “RE:(previous subject)” in the subject field for the user’s convenience.

If you choose Quote Original Subject, Do Not Allow Changes, then any replies to the message will all follow the “RE:(previous subject)” convention and the user will not be given a subject field. It will be visible, but the user will be unable to edit it.

Finally, if you choose New Subject for Each Message, every message may have a unique subject, just as in the first option, except that nothing is displayed for the user in the subject field. The Quote Subject Uneditable option is selected by default.

(16)

Creating a

Link to Your

Message Board

Creating a link to your Message Board is simple. The URL and syntax for the main script that runs the Message Board is:

Syntax:

/cgi.share/wwwboard/wwwboard.cgi?id=[ACCOUNTNAME] &board=[unique code]

In order to make the script show your Message Board, you should follow the above URL with your account name and unique code. For example, if your account name is “widgets” and you created a message board that had a unique code of “board1” then you would use the following URL to get to your Message Board:

Syntax:

/cgi.share/wwwboard/wwwboard.cgi?id=widgets&board=board1

Note that this is an indirect link. You could always include your domain name in front if you want:

http://www.widgets.com/cgi.share/wwwboard/wwwboard.cgi?id=foobar&board=board1

Resetting Your

Message Board

In this version of the Message Board, the only way to reset the board is to re-install it. Actually, re-installing only replaces the original four system files; all the remaining message files will need to be deleted by you via FTP. Incidentally, if you modify any of the system.html files, you should back them up before re-installing them, since the install script will simply overwrite any existing files.

All of the files used by the Message Board may be found in your Web/messages/ directory. The file name for any message files will always be a number followed by “.html.” For example, “12.html” is the name of the twelfth message created on your board, and you could delete this file after a re-install. However, if you simply re-install and don’t delete any files, the Message Board script will overwrite the old files.

Customizing Your

Message Board’s

Title Page

You may not want to attempt to change the look of your title page unless you are an HTML programmer. Several customizable files are used to build your title page: messages/[board name] title_h.html (header file)

messages/[board name] title_f.html (footer file) messages/[board name] title_b.html (main body) messages/[board name] other_f.html (global footer) messages/[board name] other_h.html (global header)

(17)

You will notice that there are other files in the message directory as well: data.txt and [msg id].html. PLEASE DO NOT EDIT OR CHANGE THESE FILES IN ANY WAY.

[msg id].html contains the list of messages present on your board and the links to them. The Message Board script automatically updates this file every time one of your visitors leaves a message.

Data.txt contains the number of the last message on your Board and is also updated automatically by the script. If you decide to edit these files, keep in mind that they are designed to be combined into one document. For your convenience, each file has been bracketed with comments so you can see where the beginning and end of each individual file is, should you decide to combine the files in your favorite text editor. You accept full responsibility for the maintenance and upkeep of your Message Board.

In other words, you may edit your Message Board files AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Instructions For Using WS FTP

Windows

Users Only

WS_FTP is a user-friendly, Windows-based file transfer program. WS_FTP allows for drag-and-drop FTP sessions similar to using the file manager utility of Windows. Before starting, we recommend that you take a few minutes to go to the support area on WS_FTP’s Web site to review WS_FTP and FTP basics (http://www.ipswitch.com/). After you have installed WS_FTP on your machine and have started up the program, a dialog box like the following will appear.

The dialog box allows you to create a profile for your FTP site.

The above profile has been set up in the program as a default by the developers of WS_FTP. You will need to set up a profile for your own Web site so you can come back to it each time you want to upload new files and improvements to your site.

Creating a

Profile

To create a profile for your site, select New and enter the following settings for your Web site:

Profile Name: Your Web site name

Host Name/address: ftp.tds.net

Host Type: Select Automatic detect

UserID: Your account name. If you do not remember your account name, please refer to the start-up letter in your Web packet or contact the Web Hosting Help Desk, at 888-815-5992.

(19)

Anonymous

check box: Deselect this box

Save Pwd check box: Deselect this box

Password: Your FTP password. If you do not remember your password, please refer to your start-up letter in your Web packet, or contact the Web Hosting Help Desk, at 888-815-5992.

Account: This field is not required. You may type in any description you wish.

If you are dialing out from a stand alone computer, you will not need to change anything on the Startup, Advanced, or Firewall tabs. Otherwise, contact your system administrator.

When you are finished entering your information it should appear like the following window:

Click Apply to save your new settings. Click OK to connect to the FTP server.

Note: Your settings have been saved and are accessible through the pull down menu Profile_name. Each time you connect, select this Profile and click OK.

(20)

Upon connecting, you will automatically be placed into the correct directory on the Web server. It will appear similar to the following window:

WS_FTP refers to your PC as the LOCAL SYSTEM, and your directory on the Web server as the REMOTE SYSTEM. In order to access the files on your PC, you will need to change to the directory on your hard drive where you saved your Web files.

Use the right arrow button in the center of the window to move the files from your PC to the Web server.

Use the left arrow button in the center of the window to move files from the Web server to your PC.

**This rename option on the REMOTE SYSTEM will allow you to change the name of your home page to index.html. This is a crucial step, so please refer back to the instructions in your start-up letter under YOUR FIRST UPLOAD***

(21)

CngDir: This setting allows you to move between different directories

View: This will open the file in a text editor such as Notepad or Wordpad

Exec: This will run an executable file

Rename: This allows you to rename highlighted files

Delete: This allows you to delete highlighted files

Refresh: This will load a new copy of files in each directory

DirInfo: This function gives you more detail on directories and files

Instructions For Using Fetch 3.0

Fetch 3.0 for

MacOS 8/29/97

Fetch is a user-friendly Macintosh FTP program; it allows point-and-click drag and drop file transfers to and from any machine with an FTP server, over a TCP/IP network. Fetch is free to users affiliated with an educational institution or charitable non-profit organizations; all other users may purchase a license (see Licensing). More information is available at http://www.dartmouth.edu/pages/softdev/fetch.html.

To Use Fetch:

1. Double-click the Fetch icon to start the application.

2. Fetch will open a dialog box, which opens a new connection (as appears below). If it does not do this automatically, select New Connection from the File menu. 3. Enter the following information to begin an FTP session.

Host: ftp.tds.net

User ID: Your Web account name. This was provided in your start-up letter.

Password: Your FTP password. NOTE: FTP passwords are different than dial-in passwords. You must provide your FTP password, which was provided in your start-up letter. If you don’t know your password, contact the Web Hosting Help Desk at 888-815-5992.

4. Click OK. Fetch will establish a connection with the Web Hosting FTP server. 5. Upon connecting, you will automatically be placed in your correct directory on the

Web server. When a connection has been established, the FTP interface will appear as follows:

(23)

6. Select Preferences from the Customize menu. The following dialog box will appear.

7. Click on the Upload tab. Configure the dialog box with the following information:

Default text format: Text

Default non-text format: Raw Data

Deselect the Add .txt suffix to text file option. Click OK.

8. You are now ready to FTP files to your Web directory. Using Systems software 7.5 or higher, you can drag files from the desktop to or from the FTP interface (the interface is shown in step 5).

(24)

To upload a file, drag the file onto the FTP interface from your desktop. To download, drag a file from the file list in the FTP interface to your desktop. To delete a file, drag it from the file list in the FTP interface to the trash can.

To change directories, double-click on the directory’s icon in the first list. To move up a directory, click on the directory named with two periods (..)

To rename a file, select the file in the file list, select Rename file or folder from the Customize menu, and type in a new name for the file.

Note: The Web server will automatically open the file named index.html. You should name your home page (or the page you wish to open first) index.html

Upload and download features are also available by clicking the appropriate Put or Get File buttons.

Features of Fetch

Fetch has the following features:

Multiple Connections Fetch allows multiple outstanding connections, and automatically reconnects sessions that have been disconnected.

Drag and Drop Fetch features extensive support for drag-and-drop (which requires System 7.5, or else the Macintosh Drag and Drop extension and Finder 7.1.3 or later). Files and directories can be dragged to and from remote sites. URLs can be dragged to bookmark list windows and text editors. Some preferences can even be set via drag-and-drop.

Open Transport Fetch is one of the first applications to ship with Open Transport code, for better performance on PCI Macintoshes and soon non-PCI models as well.

Apple Events Fetch is the only Mac FTP client with Apple Event Object Model support, for easier and more powerful scripting with languages such as AppleScript, Frontier, and others. Fetch is also “recordable,” so writing a basic script can be as simple as hitting the “Record” button in your script editor.

Bookmark Lists Fetch supports multiple bookmark lists, with easy drag-and-drop editing and reordering.

Resume Download Fetch is the only Mac FTP client that can restart interrupted transfers, making it unnecessary to re-download data that has already been transferred.

Firewalls Fetch supports simple proxy servers, SOCKS gateways, passive mode transfers, and a user-selected port-number range, all to make Fetch’s operation behind firewalls more convenient. In addition, Fetch supports the one-time Password and S/Key systems for protecting the privacy of passwords.

Searching Fetch supports the SITE INDEX command for searching FTP archives by file name (all servers do not support SITE INDEX).

Permissions Fetch allows simple point-and-click management of remote file permissions via the “SITE CHMOD” and “SITE UMASK” commands (not supported by all servers).

(25)

File Format

Conversions Fetch supports uploading and downloading files in AppleSingle, BinHex, and MacBinary II format, as well as the common Text and Raw Data formats.

Directory Trees Fetch can upload, download, or delete entire directory trees (i.e., directories containing files and/or sub-directories) with a single command.

Suffix Mapping Fetch comes with a list of suffix mappings which relate file name extensions (such as “.gz”) to Macintosh file types (such as MacGzip). Users can modify the default mappings and add their own as well. Fetch can also use Internet Config’s mappings.

Post-Processing Fetch’s Post Processing feature makes it possible to have downloaded files automatically passed to designated helper applications, depending on their type. Fetch can use Internet Config’s post-processing settings or its own.

URL Support Fetch can access files or directories based on their Uniform Resource Locator (URL), and can generate URLs for displayed files.

Text Display Fetch can display text files, directory listings, and server messages in its own windows, without requiring a separate viewing program.

Online Manual Fetch features an online users’ manual, with a tutorial and reference topics. Click here to browse to WWW version of the manual.

Custom Commands Fetch allows users to type in arbitrary FTP commands, to navigate firewalls, and to access server-specific commands.

Common

Challenges

Troubleshooting while using Fetch:

Challenge: When I upload GIF or JPEG files in MacBinary format, my Web browser can’t display them.

Solution: Web browsers (and a lot of other software) do not expect to find files encoded in a format like MacBinary II; they expect to find the bare data. So use Raw Data format for uploading Web graphics, or other cross-platform files.

Challenge: Fetch can download files but when I try to upload a file over my modem connection the computer freezes, or the upload fails.

Solution: There is likely a problem with the flow-control settings of your dialup software or your modem. Make sure that your modem init string enables hardware handshaking, and that your dialup software is configured to do hardware handshaking. Consult your modem manual or call the Web Hosting Help Desk at 888-815-5992 for more

information.

Challenge: When I try to open a connection, my computer freezes.

Solution: Check the configuration of your PPP software, and consult the Web Hosting Help Desk at 888-815-5992. This sort of problem is usually caused by misconfiguration of the dialup software.

(26)

Challenge: I have a 14,400 bps modem, but I only get 1,000 bytes/second.

Solution: Modems use 10 bits to send a byte, so 1,000 bytes/second over a modem translates to 10,000 bps. In addition to data, your modem must also transmit packet headers, acknowledgements, and other information. So you should not expect to always get the modem’s rated speed in actual data throughput. If you think that your throughput should be better (e.g. it is less than 80% of the modem’s rated speed), you should check your modem init string and the configuration of your dialup software, or check with the Web Hosting Help Desk at 888-815-5992.

Challenge: Fetch slows down and eventually drops the connection when I transfer a file over my dialup link.

Solution: Check the configuration of your PPP software, and consult the Web Hosting Help Desk at 888-815-5992. This sort of problem is usually caused by misconfiguration of the dialup software.

Challenge: The file list includes other information besides the file name, and the Get File button doesn’t work.

Solution: Try refreshing the file list by choosing the “Refresh File List” command from the Remote menu; that will usually fix this problem. Otherwise you can hold down the option key when you press the Get File button and type in the file’s name by hand.

Challenge: The file names in the file list don’t look right – there is size and date information in the name column.

Solution: Fetch sometimes guesses what kind of computer it is talking to, and it can guess incorrectly. You should be able to correct the problem by refreshing the file list – choose the current directory from the directory pop-up menu above the file list.

Licensing

Fetch 3.0 may be freely distributed on Internet file servers. Use of Fetch, or distribution by any other means (e.g. on CD-ROM) may require a license, as detailed below. Fetch 3.0 is licensed free of charge to educational institutions and nonprofit

organizations (i.e. charitable organizations; government departments, etc.). Those who wish to continue using Fetch should purchase a license. A single-user license costs $25. Multiple-user licenses are available at the following prices: 10 users/$200, 100

users/$1000, 1000 users/$5000, unlimited users/$20,000, unlimited users and unlimited updates/$30,000. To purchase a license, send a check drawn on a U.S. bank, a domestic purchase order, an international money order, or Visa/MasterCard information to: Software Sales

PHP and ASP

If you need to develop dynamic Web pages, TDS.NET servers are PHP- and Microsoft ASP-enabled. That means you are no longer limited to a static HTML Web site. Now you can provide fast and easy access to your information through interactive Web-based applications.

The Scripting

Languages:

PHP Scripting PHP is an Open Source, server-side HTML-embedded scripting language. PHP provides a programming approach similar to Microsoft’s Active Server Pages, including broad support of databases. PHP allows you to embed code into your HTML page that is executed on the server. The client never sees the PHP code. Once you have created your PHP-enabled files (with a .php extension), you simply need to place these files in your Web directory and from there, the TDS.NET PHP supporting server will parse them for you.

Note: There are many books and Web-based tutorials devoted to PHP.

Technical Notes

• Sessions support • MySQL support

• File reading and writing is allowed • Includes are allowed

• (PREG)Perl Regular Expression Support • Mail support

• .phps is also supported to allow source code viewing of files

Active Server Pages ASP is the latest server-side scripting available from Microsoft. Active Server Pages can add power and flexibility to a Web site by managing data from customer input to data processing and database access.

Technical Notes

• Access Databases are not supported. We provide DBF files as an alternative that allows you to still use access to manage your file-based database; however, we recommend using MySQL instead of a file-based database for optimal performance. • Currently, FileSystemObject is not supported. It is anticipated that we will begin

supporting it with the next Web Hosting update. • JScript/VBScript are fully supported.

• We do not allow customized COM components, due to security risks. • SSI (Server Side Includes) are supported.

• ADODB is supported using either MySQL for a RDBMS server, or Dbase (.dbf) as a file-based database.

(28)

MySQL

MySQL is a lightweight database, designed to provide fast access to stored data. It allows users to define and manipulate information easily. TDS.NET servers also support embedded languages needed create this database. The languages currently supported are Perl, PHP, or ASP. Once a file has been put on your Web directory, it allows for a fully functional Web-to-database interface. MySQL must be requested by calling 800-358-3648.

Reasons to use

MySQL are: • MySQL is a relational database management system. A relational database stores data in separate tables rather than putting all the data in one big storeroom. This adds speed and flexibility. The tables are linked by defined relations, making it possible to combine data from several tables on request. The SQL part of MySQL stands for “Structured Query Language”—the most common standardized language used to access databases.

• Full support for SQL GROUP BY and ORDER BY. Support for group functions (SUM, MAX, and MIN).

• All password traffic on the Net is encrypted. • Can handle large databases.

• Lots of column types: signed/unsigned integers 1,2,3,4,8 bytes long, FLOAT, CHAR, VARCHAR, TEXT, BLOB, DATE, SET, and ENUM types.

• Full function support in the SELECT and WHERE parts. Example: select column1+column2 from table where column1/column2 > 0.

• All columns have default values, so you can always use INSERT on any subset of columns.

• INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE returns how many rows were affected.

• User commands as Show Tables, Show Keys From Table, and Show Columns from table.

Coming Soon… ODBC Open-DataBase-Connectivity for Windows95 (with source). All ODBC 2.5 functions and many others.

Note: There are many books and Web sites devoted to MySQL. The database file space will be added to the total space.

(47)

Web Site

Security Manager

The Web Site Security Manager allows you to restrict assigned areas of your Web site with user names and passwords. The Web Site Security Manager Web site consists of two pages. The first page defines the user/password database. This is the global listing of accounts that can access various areas of your Web site. The second section defines which of the users you have defined to have access to a certain directory.

User Database

Walkthrough 1. Choose the Web site in which you want to define your user accounts.

2. Enter a user name and select a password for your global user database. Make sure you verify that the user names and passwords are correct.

Example: user = family, password = sdj894

3. Select the directory that you’d like to allow specific users to access.

Example: /web/family Directory Access

Walkthrough 1. Choose the specific user you want to allow access to. Example: family 2. If you want to protect other directories, select another directory in the Edit

(48)

Notes about Web Site

Security Manager • If there are no users in the access list of a directory, then ANYONE can browse that directory.

• If you are using FrontPage extensions, you will not be able to add users to the /web directory. This is because a FrontPage Web has its own security list. You can use your Microsoft FrontPage TM Client to do similar things.

(49)

File Manager

Open This button opens a branch on the tree structure to the left.

View This button will open another browser and feed the file securely through the File Manager. This feature allows you to view an HTML page, even if it lies in a directory that is protected with the Web Site Security Manager.

Edit This button allows you to quickly edit any text files you have on the Web site. This feature saves time by eliminating the download/edit/upload process.

Refresh This button rescans the directory you are currently in. Use this if you are using File Manager simultaneously with FrontPage, or an FTP client.

Info This button pulls up a file information panel that allows you to see the size and permissions of a file or directory. If you are a Web Hosting Level 2 or higher customer, you can use this feature to make scripts in your /cgi-bin executable.

Delete This button deletes the file or directory. Use this with caution.

New This button pulls up the Edit panel, but allows you to specify a new file name to create.

Upload This button allows you to upload a file into the directory that you are currently working in. For performance reasons, you are limited to 4 Megabyte files or smaller at a time.

(50)

Copy This button copies a file into the systems memory. To copy it to another location in your Web site, you must first hit Copy, then move to the directory you wish to place it, and then click Paste.

Cut This button copies a file into the systems memory, and then deletes the original after it has been pasted. To copy it to another location in your Web site, you must first hit Copy, then move to the directory you wish to place it in, and then click Paste.

Paste This button pastes a file that has been cut or copied into the directory where you are currently located.

Notes • You can double-click in the right section of the File Manager. Double-clicking a file activates the View button, and double-clicking a directory changes your location to that directory.

• The Upload feature has a text translate feature that can convert UNIX text to Windows text. Since the Web server can read either format, this is only really needed if you are uploading a text file that needs to be read by a Web program that you are writing on your Web page.

• You can only use File Manager on one site at a time.

• If you are inactive with File Manager for a long period of time, you will receive an error indicating that your session has expired. Close the window and refresh the main Self-Administration page. Then log in and open another File Manager window. • Be careful when changing the permissions of files and directories. If you are too

restrictive with file/directory permissions, you could deny access to some of the TDS.NET automated features. For example, if you remove write access to your logs area, the Web server will not be able to update your traffic logs.
