Click on New Directory and create a new folder called “www.”:

Note: The www. directory will allow Internet browsers to access web page files that are uploaded to it.  Alternatively, files can be uploaded to the main directory (labeled as your UT EID).  However, read below to make sure that the correct permissions are set so that other users can view the web page files.

After the Web Directory is created, click on the www. folder.  Click on Upload to upload the .mht file:

Browse to the Final Report.mht file location and click Ok:

The upload file should show up in the www. directory:

To change the permissions of the file, click on the share icon  next to the file Final Report.mht.

The file can be shared with only the owner, other UT users (Users with accounts) and/or to all internet users (Public).

Make sure the appropriate Read boxes are chosen so that the professors and classmates can view the web page.

The shared to everyone icon should show up in the directory next to the file name.

Note: If the file or directory is not shared, the Not Shared Icon  will show up.

In addition, the permissions can be set for the entire www. directory instead of changing each files permissions individually.

Click on the share icon next to directory address and change the permissions the same way as described above.

Click on the link for the file that was uploaded: TPProposal.mht

This will open the internet browser with the website address.  Copy the website address and send this address to those who need to view the website:
