How do Almac web account owners maintain and update their web sites?
Every web account owner is allocated a directory on Almac’s web server. In this directory, you may upload/delete/amend files and create subdirectories. In addition, CGI (Common Gateway Interface) scripts written in PERL can be implemented in your directory. To upload/maintain your files, you will require an Internet connection and a FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client such as CuteFTP (for PC’s) or Fetch (for Macintosh). You will be given a username and password to be entered into the FTP client so that you can access your web account. You should keep this password secret; anyone who knows your password and login name can log into the server and modify your files. If you cannot log in, or if you password becomes compromised, please telephone our Webmaster on (01324) 666336 during support hours. Note: You cannot use the FTP facilities in Netscape (or any other browser) to upload your files.
