Step 1:
Get the software and accounts you need

• a computer with a network connection and a working WWW browser such as Netscape or Internet Explorer. If you are reading this document on a computer, you probably have a network connection and a WWW broswer. You can get browser software from the IUware CD (available the IU campus bookstore) or from IUware Online. Your local computing support provider should be able to help you set up your computer properly.

• an account on a computer that acts as a WWW server (i.e., a computer that other people can access with their browsers). Instructors may request accounts on the central WWW server at IUB. Some departments have their own WWW servers, so check with your local computing support provider for more information.

• software to create the HTML files (this can be a basic text editor or word processor or a package developed especially for this purpose)

• software to move the files from your personal computer to the WWW server computer. Transmit for the Macintosh is commonly used and you can get "file transfer protocol" (FTP) packages for Windows computers from IUware. Your local computing support provider should be able to help you get this software installed on your computer.
