Abstract

A system for facilitating the administration of a network accessible file stored on a network computer by means of communication with a user over a telephone handset. The network computer storing the network accessible file, typically a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) file for use in a web site, allows a user to dial in and, through the use of a telephone handset, modify, create, delete or exchange web pages comprising the web site. The network computer presents the user with a list of modifiable objects contained in a web page, through speech simulation software, and receives instructions identifying and modifying these objects by speech or Dual Tone MultiFrequency (DTMF) tones. Upon receipt of these instructions, the network computer generates a new HTML file to replace the modified HTML file.
