Website Creation at CU-BoulderWhat users need to do:- To publish personal web pages, users just start adding files to their public_html directory. Most people use a form of secure FTP to transfer files. Logins to the shell and using a unix editor will also continue to work.- Home Page files belong in the folder:
/home/culogin/public_html - The URL to the home page is, for example:
http://ucsut.colorado.edu/~culogin- For help in finding this information, students can go to PLUS and look under "E-mail & Passwords," then "Getting Started with E-mail and Computing Accounts."- In order to use the URL http://webhost.colorado.edu/~culogin,
the user will need to have a file named index.html in their public_html directory. Otherwise, URL's will need to be in the form of http://webhost.colorado.edu/~culogin/myfile.html. The user is responsible for uploading or creating an index.html file.NOTE: A small number of filenames can also be used for this purpose; they are defined in the web server. While we encourage using index.html, currently allowed names are (this is subject to change):index.html index.shtml Index.html index.xhtml Home.html home.html index.cgi index.htm Home.htm home.htm
