Web Site Access Instructions

You need an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program to send your files (HTML pages and graphics) to your space on the web server. Note: some web editing software has FTP functions built-in to the program.

FTP Software

Connection Settings

  • FTP Host Address: ftp.kinetic.more.net
  • FTP Server Connection: FTP or FTPeS (FTP over explicit TLS/SSL)
  • FTP Site User Name: <your site's account name>@coin.org
  • FTP Site Password:  <your site's password>
  • Initial/host/web directory: WebPublish/<site address>/www

Web Site (Publish) Directory

The initial directory you should use is: WebPublish/<site address>/www
(For example, if your web site address is "mysite.missouri.org", the host directory will become "WebPublish/mysite.missouri.org/www".)

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you support Microsoft FrontPage Extensions?
No, FrontPage extensions are not available.

How do I view web site usage statistics?
You can access your site's web statistics at

http://mysite.missouri.org/ar/analog/

The "successful requests for pages" indicates the number of visits your site received for that month. Read more about how to interpret the Analog reports.

How do I change our web site FTP password?
Passwords can be changed by accessing the kinetic Manager.

  1. Enter your account name (e.g. user@coin.org) in the E-mail Address box.
  2. Enter your password and click the Login button.
  3. In the Change Password section at the top, enter your current password in the Password box. Enter your new password in the New Password box and again in the Confirm Password box.
  4. Click the Change Password button. Your password will be updated and a confirmation page will appear.
  5. Click Logout at the top right.

 

What web programming/scripting languages are available? Is there access to a database?
Perl, PHP and MySQL can be enabled for your site upon request. Please contact us for more information.

I would like to add a page counter to our web site. Is that possible?
There isn't a built-in counter, but you can use a third-party counter script. If you want to create or install your own counter, we can enable your site for Perl, PHP and MySQL so that you can use your own script.

Can I use server side includes (SSI)?
Yes, server side includes will be parsed as long as the file extension is .shtml.

I've uploaded my web page(s), but I'm not seeing my new page, only a list of files. What's wrong?
To make your files accessible to the public, you need to put them in the www folder AND make sure that your main homepage has the name index.html (or index.htm).

I've uploaded my web page, however, I'm not seeing my new page, but an old page. What's wrong?
Web pages with a .shtml extension have precedence over files with .html or .htm extension, so you'll need to delete the index.shtml placeholder file in your web directory.

I would like to add a link back to DBRL to give thanks for providing this service.

What changes were made when COIN moved the web sites to the new server in January 2007?
After the Columbia Online Information Network (COIN) ended service in June 2006, the Daniel Boone Regional Library (DBRL) agreed to take over COIN’s web-hosting service. These COIN hosted web sites were moved to a new server on January 30, 2007. Below is a list of the important changes.

  • The ftp host name changed from ftp.coin.org to ftp.kinetic.more.net
  • Your web site (ftp) account name changed to include "@coin.org" (without quotes) at the end. (For example, if your account name was "mysite", it became "mysite@coin.org".)
  • The initial/host directory changed to: WebPublish/<site address >/www
    (For example, if your web site address is "mysite.missouri.org", the host directory became "WebPublish/mysite.missouri.org/www".)
  • Your web site password remained the same.
  • Telnet/SSH access is no longer available.
  • The built-in web page counter is no longer available.
  • Server side includes (SSI) are no longer parsed for every html file (only files with .shtml extentions).
