jcbServer Server’s local name
cs.uwaterloo.ca Domain in which the server is located
jcbServer.cs.uwaterloo.
ca
server’s host domain name
80 Port on which jcbServer’s web server application is
listening
/
cs200/search/search.ht
ml
Absolute path from the server’s web root folder to the
file
2. Client-Server File Sharing
Client : lab Mac; slower, cheaper, smaller disks
Server Machine : student.cs; faster, more expensive, bigger disks
Server Application : AppleShare; running on the server machine
Share Points : folders on the server that are made available over the network
Network Disks : “mounting” a share point, creates a “network disk” on your client
machine
Network Folders : subfolders (aka subdirectories) of a network disk
Browser : client uses a “browser” to request & display web pages
Server Subtree: a web server can only return files in the “server subtree”
Web Root Folder: sometimes that’s rooted in the folder holding the server app,
usually this “web root folder” can be set when the web server is started
Web Page: a text file containing text to be displayed, tags, URL (Uniform Resource
Locator)
3. Tables
<table>
<TR> <TH></TH></TR>
<TR><TD></TD></TR>

</table>
TR: table row
TD: table cell/definition
4. Relative Path
<a href=" fragments/bio/biography.html "> John C Beatty </a>
fragments/bio/biography.html : relative path to the target file
5. Relative vs Absolute Path
Absolute Path:
 <a href=" / 2nd%20Year/cs200/cs200.html">CS200</a>
 The host domain name is implicit.
 The same as the referencing web page.
 Always start at the web root folder
 Necessary between machines
 if a host domain name is present, the path is necessarily absolute
 use absolute path when two files are more likely to be moved separately
Relative Path:
 <a href=" •• / •• / 2nd%20Year/cs200/cs200.html">CS200</a>
 ../ means go up one level to the parent folder
 ../../ means go up two levels
 cs200/cs200.html is also a relative path

