Posting a Web Page on Willamette's Server

Step #1: You must create a world-readable directory in your home directory. The easiest way to do this is to use the 'webpage' command.

1. Open a ssh session to shell.willamette.edu
   (For instructions on using ssh, please go to: http://www.willamette.edu/wits/resources/docs/shell_access/connect.html)
2. At the main menu, then type 'unix'.
3. At the % prompt, type 'webpage'.
4. Type 'Y' to continue. A world-readable directory called 'public_html' will now be created in your home directory.
5. When finished, exit Telnet.

Note: Please be aware that the public_html directory you just created by using the Webpage command above is world-readable - i.e., anyone in the world can see the contents of that directory. You should not put anything in the public_html directory that you don't want others to see. Be especially careful about posting contact information, class schedules, or other personal information.

Step #2: You must create an HTML document called index.html or index.htm. You should save this document to your Willamette home directory, in the folder called public_html. (You should have created this folder during Step #1 of these instructions.)

Step #3: Once you've saved your index file to your public_html directory, you should be able to view your web page by pointing your web browser to: http://www.willamette.edu/~yourusername/
