Welcome to Mac OS
Personal Web Sharing
This page is being served from your Mac OS
computer. If you're connected to the Internet, you can make it
available to everyone in your organization, regardless of the browser
or the computer they use.
You'll find sharing files on the Web almost as
easy as browsing. Just create your pages and drop them into the Web
Pages folder. Apple Personal Web Sharing will make them available to
the person in the next cube, the next state, or the network link on
another continent.
Quick Start: Setting Up Personal Web
Sharing
Here's a quick summary of setting up Personal Web
Sharing on your computer.
- Read the "read
me" document first. It contains
late-breaking information about the software.
- Install the software, by double-clicking the
WebScript icon in the Web Sharing folder.
- Read the instructions
for Apple Personal Web Sharing, in the
document "Using Personal Web Sharing." These instructions provide
step-by-step procedures for setup and operation of the
software.
Note: If you
want to print the instructions, open the document in your browser
and print from it to avoid seeing the HTML tags in the printed
copy.
- Make sure you have a valid network connection,
properly configured for intranet use. (Consult your network
administrator or other network expert if you need
assistance.)
- Turn on Mac OS Personal Web Sharing in the Web
Sharing control panel and note the address that appears next to
"My Address" in the control panel. (Be sure to copy the address
exactly as it appears. If you see two addresses, you can use
either one.)
- Add the content you want to share to your Web
Pages folder.
- Give your address to the people on your
intranet. They can connect to your server by loading that address
in their browser. (See "Using
Personal WebSharing.html" for
information on limiting access to your server or to parts of its
content.)
To make it easy for you to create your own Web
pages, we've included several sample files and templates with the
Personal Web Server. See the document "Using
Sample FilesTemplates.htm" (in the Sample
Files & Templates folder) for information about adapting these
files for your content.
In addition, you can substitute your own content
for the text, graphics, and links in this document to create a
customized welcome page. It's named "Default.html" and is in your Web
Pages folder.
