## Publishing your site on your own computer using personal Web sharing

You can use the personal Web sharing built into Mac OS X to host your Web site from your own computer. In this case you upload your site using file copy.

### To turn on personal Web sharing

- Open the Sharing panel in the System Preferences dialog box on your computer.
- In the Services section select Personal Web Sharing:

### To upload files using file copy

- Open the File menu and choose Upload..., then choose File Copy from the Upload pop-up menu:

- Click the Select... button and browse to the location where you want to upload the site.

If you are using personal Web sharing this will be the Sites folder in your home folder.

You can then access your site using the address:

http:// `xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx`/`myname`/

where `xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx` is the IP address of your computer, and `myname` is your user name.
