Use FTP to upload .cgi and .pl files; use ASCII mode to upload CGI
files. Once the file is on the Qube 2, use your FTP program to make the
script executable. You can also use the telnet command:
chmod 775 <filename>.cgi.
The path to Perl is
/usr/bin/perl
.
To set the access rights for installing CGI scripts, see “Install CGI
scripts” on page 104.
Publishing Web pages using FTP
After creating your Web pages, you can publish them on the Qube 2
using FTP.
Ensure that you have the following information:
• the host name or the IP address of your Qube 2
• your username and password
• a filename of your choice to save as your main page (the default
filename is index.html)
Launch your FTP software and establish an FTP link to the Qube 2.
Upload your HTML files. If you need help, consult the instructions for
your FTP application.
By default, the files you upload using FTP are stored in your personal
directory; the directory path is
:
/<IP address>/users/<username
> where
•
<IP address> is
the Qube 2’s IP address
•
<username
> is your user name
Note to Qube 2 Administrators: To post Web pages for the
private home site, you must upload to the directory
/groups/home/private/
.
