Tripod Web site
In preparation for setting up a web page you will need
to register with http://www.tripod.com/
Using the web, log onto the site
-
Sign up to register a new account
-
Remember the member name that you choose as you will need
this regularly in the future
-
It is not necessary to register interest in any of the pods
for the course work
-
Although you will have access to HTML and ftp features on
line (which you can use in the future) do not at this moment use them as
you will need to demonstrate to me your knowledge/ability to use HTML and
remotely accessing another server using ftp, telnet and etc. facilities
for this unit.
-
Use your hotmail account for communications as you will be
e-mailed a password to access your account by tripod (this can be changed
to a password of your own choosing but it is essential that you do not
forget it.)
-
The account needs to be set up a number of days before your
lesson as it takes between 24-48hrs for your ftp area to be setup by tripod.
We need it to be working in readiness for a lesson session when the technicians
have enabled the ftp facility.
You will then be registered for 11MB of server space on Tripod
to set up your own web site. We intend to establish a web site You will
then be established with a full web presence (both web page and e-mail)
which is yours to use/develop as a communication platform at your own discretion
in the future. You can also develop your programming skills beyond the
scope of this unit if you so wish.

There are plenty
of links to Java, javascript, HTML sites which provide support, tutorials,
and free images/software etc. EG. Netscape not only provides you
with free browser and composer software but a range of images that you
can use in your web page design. The Sun site provides free Java
programming and development software. The Ipswitch web site provides
free GUI FTP software etc. There is a vast number of sites providing
free support and many of them are directly linked from the this web site
(HND home page) or accessing the De Montfort University (DMU) pages linked
to this site.
STANDARD
WARNING!!
ftp will allow you access into sensitive areas which the
college cannot afford to have individuals playing with. It has taken a
lot of negotiating with the technicians to get this facility provided for
you and it is to be closely monitored. If anyone is found to be misusing
the facility for anything other than instructed actions required within
the syllabus it wil be closed down. The technicians are not interested
in tracking the individuals concerned, the link will be closed to everyone
regardless. If culprit/s are identified then disciplinary action will take
place. The message is DON'T HACK IT! This warning has to be issued because
the actions of few hackers can seriously jeopardise the whole of the College's
network and our University link to the Web. It is not negotiable. This
is a standard warning and obviously I am confident that no one in my groups
will fit this category.
