Provide global access to data by uploading the webNetwork files to your web server.  This will enable users--even those operating from remote locations--to access files easily. All you need is an Internet connection and a web browser.

 

Before initiating the uploading  process, you need to create or locate the publicly accessible directory on your web server.  Contact your web host for assistance if you are not sure of the right directory.

 

       Tip: In most server configurations, public_html or www are the publicly accessible        directories.
