Q. How do I update my administrative website which is not using a content management system (WebCMS or OU Campus)?

A:

Template-Driven Websites

Template-driven sites exist on two servers; one for testing and one for content that is visible to the public. Site changes should initially be made on the testing server, dev.sjsu.edu and if they are correct, they should then be made to stage.sjsu.edu. Files on the stage server will be automatically copied to the production server, www.sjsu.edu. Files are moved to the servers using FTP. If you use Dreamweaver to manage your site, the following information will need to be added to the "Remote Info" section. We recommend that you set up two sites within Dreamweaver--one for dev and one for stage.

Setting up the "dev" environment (a stand-alone environment used for testing)

FTP Configuration
FTP Server: ftp.sjsu.edu
Login: your UNIX ID
Password: your UNIX password
Initial Remote Path: /sjsu_dev/sitename
URL to your site: http://dev.sjsu.edu/sitename 

Setting up the "stage" environment (an environment that updates content on www.sjsu.edu )

FTP Configuration
FTP Server: ftp.sjsu.edu
Login: your UNIX ID
Password: your UNIX password
Initial Remote Path: /sjsu_stage/sitename
URL to your site: http://stage.sjsu.edu/sitename 
Note:
  • Files on the stage server will be copied to the production server every 15 minutes.

Non-template Sites

These sites are not template driven and are mostly earlier sites.

FTP Configuration
FTP Server: ftp.sjsu.edu
Login: your UNIX ID
Password: your UNIX password
Initial Remote Path: /sjsu_www2/
URL to your site: http://www.sjsu.edu/<site_name>

Note:

  • If your website URL is a part of http://www.sjsu.edu/depts/ then your FTP remote path will be /sjsu_www2/depts/
