6.  A WebDAV pop up screen should appear. 

7.  In the URL, insert  http://gacc.nifc.gov/xx_dav/ 

8.  The    xx    is provided for your GACC (i.e. sw = Southwest, egb=East Great Basin). 

9.  In Username, insert your provided User ID. 

10. In Password, insert your provided Password. 

11. In the Email block, insert your e mail address. 

12. Enable  Save Password.  

13. Click  O.K.  

14. Now try to upload your  index.htm  file. 

15. If this works, upload the remainder of your site. 

16. You may encounter some communication errors.  If this happens keep trying.  It seems 

some errors do occur when uploading the initial files and folders. 

17. If you want to test your site on the Internet before going production, insert in the URL 

 http://gacc.nifc.gov:8080/xx_dav.  To view online at this point, enter 

http://gacc.nifc.gov:8080/ in your browser. Once you're ready to go to production, simply 

remove the  :8080 .   

18. Make sure your main home (or welcome) page is an  index.htm  file.  This way, when 

you go production, it will overwrite the auto forward page currently located on the GACC 

National page. 

19. Keep your current site operational until you're new site is operational and uploaded to 

your satisfaction.  It might even be worthwhile that you maintain both sites 

simultaneously for a 30 day period or so. Manage it in such a way that your visitors know 

what is happening.
