Uploading Web Pages

There are many different types of programs that you can use to upload your web pages to your site on InterLync's server. If you do not already have a program that you are comfortable using for FTPing purposes, we

suggest you use WS_FTP. However, uploading your web pages to Interlync all have several characteristics that are common. Listed below is information concerning the connection to Interlync's FTP server:

  1. The Host or Server name is ftp.Interlync.com.
  2. The Host Type or Host Recognition should be set to "Automatic Detect".
  3. Username or User ID is your "Interlync login name."
  4. The Password for the username is your valid Interlync password that was assigned to you.
  5. You should not enter a Remote Host or Directory name. When you login, you will automatically be placed into your directory on our server.
  6. The main page of your web site should be named index.htm or index.html. When people try to view your web page, they will not need to know the name of your web page because the index.htm will automatically open in their browser.
  7. All graphics for your web page should be uploaded using Binary file transfer. This will ensure a good and reliable upload. In addition, this is the only way your graphics will be viewable on your web page.
What is my web address?
The address for your home page will be "http://www.Interlync.com/username" (without the quotes ). If you have a professional web account, your address will be "http://www.your_domain_name.com" (unless you specify that you are an organization, government, or network site).

What about links to graphics or other web sites?
Links to your own graphics or to other pages in your home directory should be of the form:

<a href="http://www.Interlync.com/your_user_name/whatever.html"> or

<a href="whatever.gif"> (if it is in the same directory).

How do I announce my home page?
As soon as you upload your home page into your web directory, it is available on the web. Of course, you need to tell others your web page address for them to visit it.  Check out our Lync 'O Matic Services for submitting your address to over 471 Search Engines.
