Stage 4 Making Files Public

To complete the final stage of this project — making your files accessible to the browsing public —
you need to have access to some type of server.
On the inside back cover of this book, you have a code that you need to gain access to the
required resource files. The same code also provides access to a six-month, free trial Web hosting
account at Pair Networks (www.pair.com).
If you don’t already have access to an online server, go to www.pair.com/atc/ to sign up for your
hosting account before you complete the final stage of this project. You must enter your contact
information, and the code from the inside
back cover of your book. You should then
define a user name in the last field; this will
become part of the server name for your
hosting account.
After you click Continue, you will
receive an acknowledgement that your
request is being processed.
The resulting message warns that the
setup process can take up to one business Enter the code from

of your book here.
You should complete this step as early as
possible.
You will then receive a confirmation Create a unique
email (sent to the email you defined in the username here.

password information. Once you receive
the confirmation email, you are ready to
complete the final stage of this project.

hide files from the web server
As you saw when you created the folders for the new site, not all of the new files are
meant to be uploaded to the Web server — specifically, the Photoshop file in the resourc-
es folder. (You should, however, store such files locally as source files or documentation
for the work you completed.)
Dreamweaver provides a very useful function — called cloaking — that allows
you to prevent certain files from uploading. You can cloak an individual file; cloak all
files with the same extension (for example, all native Photoshop files with the PSD
extension); or cloak a folder, which also cloaks all files in that folder.
