Unlike html files, graphics files (e.g., backgrounds and images, usually with file extensions such as ".jpg" and ".gif") cannot be pasted into your WWW folder using TeraTermPro.  Instead, you need to use a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) program.  The FTP program we have in LA526 and on most systems at NKU is WS_FTP.  To add graphics files to your webpage, you must first modify the original webpage with html code that directs the browser to display your image.  Then you must transfer the graphics file to your www folder using WS_FTP.

Modify your webpage so that it displays the graphics file you wish to add (background or image).

1. Modify your webpage so that the html file contains the code necessary to direct the browser to display your graphic.
• To add a background image using Composer,  click "Format" on the toolbar,  then "Page Colors and Properties," then "Colors and Backgrounds." Click the checkbox next to "Use Image," then type in your graphic's filename, or use the "Choose File" button  to locate the graphic you wish to add.  Note:  if you use the "Choose File" button, Composer will add the location of the file to the filename.  Usually, this will be the A drive on your local system.  Remove this reference to your A drive from the filename, or your graphic will not be visible to viewers at other locations.
• To add a graphic, choose "Insert" from the toolbar, then "Image."  Enter the graphic file name, or browse for it using the "Choose File" button. Note:  If you use the "Choose File" button, Composer will add the location of the file to the filename.  Usually, this will be the A drive on your local system. Remove this reference to your A drive from the filename, or your graphic will not be visible to viewers at other locations.
2. Load your new page into your www folder in the usual way using WS_FTP.

1. Save to your "A" drive the graphics file you want to use on your webpage.
2. Transfer your graphics file to your www folder as follows:
• Open WS_FTP on your local system as follows::
• Click on "Start," then "Internet," then "WS_FTP."
• A dialog screen will appear.  Enter the following information:
• If it is not already entered, for Profile name, enter studenthome.nku.edu (note: faculty use www.nku.edu)
  
• If it is not already entered, for Host name, enter  studenthome.nku.edu (note: faculty use www.nku.edu)
  
• For Username, enter your username on the webserver.
• For Password, enter your password.
• Click on "OK."
• In a few seconds, a new screen will appear.  The column on the left is the "Local system"; that is, the computer at which you are now sitting.  The column on the right is the "Remote system"; that is, the webserver (for students: studenthome.nku.edu; for faculty: www.nku.edu).
• On the "Local system" column, double click the A drive.  The files located on your disk in drive A should then appear.
• On the "Remote system" column, double click your WWW folder.  The files in your WWW folder should appear.
• Below the "Local system" and "Remote system" columns, you are given the choice between "ASCII," "Binary," and "Auto." "ASCII" is used for text/html files only; if you plan to transfer graphics files as well, click "Binary."
• Transfer the desired files from the "Local system" to the "Remote system".  There are two ways to transfer a file from the "Local" system to the "Remote" system.
• Click on the file you would like to transfer once to highlight it.  Then find the right-arrow button between the "local" and "remote" columns.  Click on the arrow  to transfer the file.
• OR, double click the file you would like to transfer. It will be moved from the "local" system to the "remote" system
• After a few seconds, the graphics filenames should appear in the right column (the "Remote system").
• You may now minimize WS_FTP, or click on "Exit" to exit WS_FTP.  Your graphics file has now been transferred.
