Creating Student Web Pages
Each student is allocated half of a megabyte of space for their website. These tutorials will cover the following necessary steps to create your personal website:
- create your web directory on the Academic Web Server,
- create your web pages, and
- upload your web pages to your web directory.
1. Create Your Web Directory
This tutorial covers how to use PuTTY to create your web directory on the Academic Server. This needs to be done only once in your time at the University. If you have already created your personal space on the Academic Server, you can skip this step.
2. Create Your Web Pages
This tutorial covers how to use the popular HTML editor Nvu to create your web pages.
3. Upload Your Web Pages
This tutorial covers how to use Core FTP Lite to transfer the web pages you created to the Academic Server.
You Can Now Access Your Web Pages
Once you have created your web directory, created your web pages, and uploaded them to your web directory, you can access your website. Point your web browser to
http://academic.scranton.edu/student/username/
where you need to substitute username with your student username (e.g., smithj2).
