Static Content (e.g. Forms)

Static content describes things like forms or files that visitors will download from the website. Examples of static content include membership forms and a PDF containing the history of the BAS.

Unfortunately, the Ghost blogging platform doesn't provide tools for uploading static content through the website itself. Instead, you must upload content directly to the server running the site. As such, it's generally easiest to ask the webmaster to do this for you.

Upload via SCP

Important

This requires SSH access to the VM running the BAS site. Instructions for this can be found here.

To upload the file file-to-upload.pdf, you would first scp it into the VM (make sure to provide the correct path to the file):

scp /path/to/file-to-upload.pdf root@bostonaquariumsociety.org:/var/www/ghost/static/

Once files have been uploaded, they are immediately available at the URL https://bostonaquariumsociety.org/static/<NAME-OF_FILE>. Therefore, the example file would be accessable at https://bostonaquariumsociety.org/static/file-to-upload.pdf.
