General Information
Users who have activated their UCS account can publish a
web page on UCS. Each user is allowed 50 megabytes of disk
space
for personal storage.
What do I need to publish a web page?
- UCS CLID (username) and password.
- Telnet software.
- FTP software.
- public_html directory within your UCS account.
- proper directory and file viewing permissions.
What filename must I give my index web page?
The first page of your web page must be saved as index.html.
Where do I place my web page?
The entire website must be placed into a special directory
in your UCS account. This directory must be named public_html.
This directory should already exist. If it is missing
from your
account, it can easily be created.
How do I create the public_html directory?
You must either telnet to a UCS workstation or open a console
window at a workstation in the Conference Center or in Stephens
Hall. Telnet instructions are available at http://helpdesk.louisiana.edu/Guides/UCS/putty_ssh.html
At the command prompt (d##.ucs.louisiana.edu%), type ls.
From the list of files and directories displayed, locate public_html.
If this directory does not exist, type mkdir public_html
and press <ENTER>. Then type chmod 755 public_html.
How do I set proper file and directory viewing permissions?
Read and Execute permissions must be set on the public_html
directory to insure that others can view and maneuver through
your web site. At the command prompt, type chmod 755 public_html
and press <ENTER>.
Each file placed in the public_html directory must be
given proper file permissions. Type cd public_html
and press <ENTER>. Next, type chmod 644 *
and press <ENTER>.
Note: If subdirectories exist within the public_html directory,
the permissions of each subdirectory must be set to 755.
For example, type chmod 755 directory_name.
How can I FTP my web site onto UCS?
You have the option of using several FTP programs to upload
your site. Popular FTP programs include WS_FTP
LE, CuteFTP, Fetch,
and Command Line FTP. You may also
take advantage of the Publish features of Netscape Composer
and
Macromedia Dreamweaver.
FTP Host: d##.ucs.louisiana.edu (replace ## with
a number between 1 and 116).
