How to use webput on MSUPA

First:
$ SETUP FILE_TOOLS
if you haven't already done so, either manually or in LOGIN.COM.

Then, use webput as follows.

webput prepares and transfers a file to a holding area on the MSU P-A WorldWide Web server, www.pa.msu.edu where it is checked for authenticity and (if it is authenticated) moved to the user's area of the server, where it may be accessed as

http://www.pa.msu.edu/people/username[/subdirname]/filename.

Usage:

$ webput filename[.ext] [sub=subdirname] [verbose|debug]

The default file name extension is ".html", but actually typing the extension name out (or leaving it off, if there is none) will override this. For example, if you were to type

$ webput index

then webput first looks for a file in the current default directory called "INDEX"; if there is no such file, webput looks there for a file named "INDEX.HTML" and processes that one, if it exists.

Calling webput with no argument or with a question mark in the first argument will cause this usage guide to be displayed.
