Uploading Audio Files

This section will introduce what is hoped to be simple, step-by-step instructions for making digitized audio available on the web.

Upload Sound File

There are three files we will upload to the Internet. All of these files were created by RealProducer in the previous section. All you need is your Internet account username and password.

• In the "Address" field type "ftp://yourusername@ftp.csulb.edu" and hit the enter key.
  
  
  
• Enter your password in the password field and click "Login".
  
  
  
• Internet Explorer will then provide the same access to the files your Internet account as you have to the files on your local computer.

  Double-click to open the "htdocs" folder. On the campus servers all of your web files are stored in this folder.
  
  
  

• Create a new folder inside the "htdocs" folder. Select "New->Folder" from the "File" menu.

  Name the new folder "mysound".
  
  
  

• Copy the following files from the D drive into the new folder:
  1. myfile.html
  2. myfile.rm
  3. myfile.rpm

  Open the "Temp" folder on the D drive. This should be where the necessary files are stored. Select the three files and drag them from teh D drive window to the "mysounds" folder window.
