A few words about Webmastering
In the preceding few chapters, we tell you everything you ever wanted to know (more, probably) about how to use your UNIX computer to take advantage of popular Internet resources such as ssh , telnet , e-mail, newsgroups, FTP, and the World Wide Web. Well, you have something to offer the world yourself, dadgum it! You’re wondering how all those other people got their stuff on the Internet, and whether you can do it, too.Of course you can do it, too. With UNIX, in fact, you have ways to get yourself on the Internet rather inexpensively, assuming that your ambitions are modest. No matter what approach you end up taking, getting on the Internet is a matter of setting up, or at least getting access to, some kind of Internet server. To be more specific, you have to set up (or get someone else to set up for you) server programs for each kind of Internet resource you want to provide. If you want to serve your own e-mail, you need POP (Post Office Protocol) and SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) servers. If you want your computer to act as a telnet site, you need a telnet server. If you want to make interesting files available for people to download to their own computers, you need an FTP server. If you want people to read your exquisite, erudite, and potentially moneymaking Web pages, you need a Web server.In this chapter, we talk mostly about Web servers, not because we think that e-mail, ssh , FTP, and other non-Web resources are unimportant, but because full-featured Web servers such as the ones we tell you about in this chapter usually come with all the software you need in order to set up those other Internet resources.
