FSG in Everyday Use
Setting up web front pages
GB
•Add a new folder in the FSG configuration window (example: Homepage).
•Select 'New' under 'Services'
• Enter a name such as 'My Homepage'.
5
• Enter the second host created in step 1 in the field 'DNS Name' (example: MyFSG.zapto.org).
Note: You may use the same host as in step 2.1. Keep in mind that you can now only access your FSG configuration by entering the WAN IP address.
• Enter any port in 'Port'. (We recommend that you use port 80. If not, you will have to enter http://MyFSG.zapto.org:81/, with 81 indicating the port).
• As the 'Folder', select the one you created in step 3.1.
• Click 'Apply'. The HTTP now restarts.
• Create an index.html in the selected folder. This HTML page is opened whenever you access your host (e.g., http://MyFSG.zapto.org).
Web Front Page Aliases
Once your web front page has been set up, you can set aliases for your folders. Enable the check box for your web front page and click 'Properties'. Select 'New' on the 'Properties' screen.
Enter a name for your alias. You may choose any name.
•Please enter an abbreviation as the 'Alias' (e.g., mp3).
• Please enter the folder path in the field labeled 'Path' (e.g., files/test/user10/music/).
You can now access this folder (for instance, files/test/user10/music/) using the alias (e.g., http:// MyFSG.zapto.org/mp3").
Note: If the path you enter ends with a slash ('/') (e.g., files/test/user10/music/), the user is required to enter the user, username and password whenever he accesses the alias address (e.g., http:// MyFSG.zapto.org/mp3). If the path does not end with a blank space (' ') (e.g., files/test/user10/music), the user is not be required to enter the username and password when accessing the alias address (e.g., http:// MyFSG.zapto.org/mp3).
Note: You can only use hosts from a provider. It is however possible to use multiple domains from one provider.
