Personal Web Sharing

(This page is a placeholder. Real content will come from marketing before we ship. No complaining! :-)

This page is being served from your Mac OS X computer. If you're connected to the Internet, you can make it available to everyone in your organization, regardless of the browser or the computer they use.

You'll find sharing files on the Web almost as easy as browsing. Just create your pages and drop them into the Sites folder in your home directory. Apple Personal Web Sharing will make them available to the person in the next cube, the next state, or the network link on another continent.

### Quick Start: Setting Up Personal Web Sharing

Here's a quick summary of setting up Personal Web Sharing on your computer.

1. Make sure you have a valid network connection, properly configured for intranet use. (Consult your network administrator or other network expert if you need assistance.)
2. Open System Preferences and select the Sharing preference pane. Turn on Web Sharing. Note the address that appears next to "Network Identity" in the pref pane. (Be sure to copy the address exactly as it appears. If you see two addresses, you can use either one.)
3. Add the content you want to share to the Sites folder in your home directory.
4. You can also substitute your own content for the text, graphics, and links in this document to create a customized welcome page. It's named "index.html" and is in your Sites folder.
5. Your new web site's URL is http://your.machines.doman.name/yourshortusername/ Give this address to the people on your intranet. They can connect to your server by loading that address in their web browser.
