Introduction to Networks

Once a website is created, it is stored on a computer called a server, that is configured to serve web pages via the internet/intranet. It is good practice to create a website on your own computer first and then to upload (send) it to the server via file sharing or FTP (file transfer protocol). To copy your files to a server via file sharing, you must log onto the server using the Chooser (on a Mac) or Network Neighbourhood (on a PC).
