Let's take Week 1's discussion assignment for example

1. I have file structure like this. I put the index.html file under the dis1 folder and I put the picture inside the dis1/pic/ folder.

2. In Cyberduck, go to Public/html, there should be a default index.html already present

3. Drag your ds1 folder on your computer to the Public/html folder on the server

4. Open your browser and type the URL http://www-personal.umich.edu/~youruniqname/dis1/ or http://youruniqname.people.si.umich.edu and you can see your webpage online
