 Mime Types
represent file types as presented to your web browser. The Mime Type option in the Control Panel allows
you to specify which types of files you can open with your web browser.
Adding or Changing Mime Types
 | From the Control Panel, select the Mime Type icon. The Mime Types Manager opens.
|
| From the Directory drop-down list, select the directory to which the mime type
additions or changes are to be applied. All sub-directories under the selected directory will be
affected. |
| Click on the Load button. The Mime Type Manager screen reappears with additional
instructions. For an additional explanation and listing of mime types select the here link located
under the How to add a new Mime Type explanation. The following web site will appear, which, in
addition to explaining and listing mime types, also provides access to other mime type resources.
|
| From the List of Mime Types section of the Mime Type Manager screen, type the mime
type and the file extension for that mime type in the appropriate fields.
|
| Select the Add button. The Mime Type Manager reappears with the newly added mime
type listed under the List of Mime Types section. |
| To change the file extension for an existing mime type, you must first use the
Delete link located next to that mime type in the List of Mime Types section. Then enter the mime
type and the new file extension for that type in the appropriate fields. Click on the Add button to
continue. |
Warning: Regardless of the mime types you set up to be
opened by your web browser, your browser can only open files of types that it supports, either in the
program itself or through the use of plug-ins or other helper applications.
Note: Adding Java file types does not enable Java on a
domain.
Note: In order to use the Mime Types option, the
Microsoft FrontPage Extensions option must be disabled. If it is enabled, then you must use your
version of Microsoft FrontPage to handle mime types. If the Microsoft FrontPage Extensions option is
enabled, you will not have access to the Mime Types option. |
