sorry if my question is not very clear. I wanted to know if I could upload my web pages and files on a linux server if they were built on a computer operating windows(mine runs on win-xp)

1. Yes. Most machines on the internet run Linux/Unix…in fact you're connecting to one when using this web site.
2. Well if you webpage is plain html with javascripts you can upload it everywhere you want, linux or windows server, but keep in mind that linux it's case sensitive so be carefull on you webpage links to be exactly like the file (I recommend to use lower case letters).

   Now if you developed a webpage using scripting page like ASP, CGI, PHP you need to know that ASP is not cross platform (windows only), and CGI, PHP is crossplatform (runs fune on windows and linux too).

   So in the end:
   HTML -> Both (windows and linux)
   ASP -> Windows only (atm) - I've saw some emulators but not stable
   PHP -> Both (windows and linux)
   CGI -> Both (windows and linux)

   PS: Carefull -> Linux = Case Sensitive operating system.

3. No Issues, you can upload them fine!
