Need help uploading to university web server

I suggest brownies or cookies to the University. I don't know of any university that makes access to a website available to anyone. These are questions that can only be answered by IT or the person in charge of the web server. Talk to them in person, if that is possible, (which in most universities it isn't), or email whoever told you to send the direct link. Attach the zip file, and tell them they need to unzip the file, to upload it to wherever they want it on the web server, and to point the link on the web page to the story.html file. They need to make sure the people who the University wants to take the course have access to all the folders, sub-folders and files.  These are all steps that must be done by administrators, not regular users like you. If they want the course accessed by means other than a link on the website, after it is uploaded, they need to make that URL (direct link) available to those people somehow.
