The Two Copy Rule

Posted by Ramz | Labels: | Posted On Tuesday, September 22, 2009 at 7:53 PM



When you write your web site, you'll need two copies, one on your web host and one on your hard drive. The reasons for this are, firstly that you need a backup and secondly when you're working on your site, you don't work on it live. When you work on the copy of your HTML pages on your hard disk, it's called "editing the local copy." The copy on the web host is called the "remote copy." You will edit the files from a folder in your hard drive, and once you're down, you'll upload them to your web host. That's when everyone can view it. You can always view your files on your hard drive before you upload them.
  • Open your web browser.
  • Choose File -> Open... File, (Browse).
  • Find the folder with your HTML files.
  • Double-click the one you're working on, and it will be in your web browser.
