OT: where to find a tutorial about putting up a web site at on-rev

[Mike Bonner]

You have a few options.  In the diesel control panel, you can look under
the files section.  From there you can set up a web disk (so you can treat
your diesel account as a local folder)
You can use one of the two file managers (legacy, or current) to choose
what you want to upload and download, and to look at what files are there.
You can also edit them using the file manager controls.
Or you can set up ftp accounts and then use one of the zillion ftp clients,
or web builder apps that have ftp upload support to place your files.  I've
done all 3, I didn't like the web disk method all that well when I used it
before, it seemed a bit flaky. But thats likely because my connection was
crappy at the time.
The file managers work pretty well actually, and the ease of editing a file
in place is nice.
I used forklift (mac) also, and it worked very well. The nice thing about
the ftp accounts method, is that you can set the base directory(iirc), so
you can set the starting folder to wherever you want that project to go,
and not have to "dig" through folders. Or you can do like I usually do, and
set the start folder so that you can access everything from 1 login.

To set up your webdisk, go to webdisk, choose your operating system, then
follow the onscreen directions.  On windows, it will have you download a
vbs script, which you then run, and it will attempt to set up the web disk
for you. If you use the root webdisk that is already set up, it will ask
for your diesel login credentials. If you'd rather the webdisk start
elsewhere, you can create new setups with different account names and
passwords.

Similar for ftp. Create the account, tell it where you want to connect to
the directory structure, then use the ftp client of your choice to connect
to it.
