All undergraduates have accounts created when they start 
computer science at Swansea University in September and have 
access to their own web space.

Go to the Linux Lab, room 217 of Faraday Tower, and log
onto one of the linux machines.  Issue the command:

%> ls -l

Within your home directory you will have a folder called:

 public_html

Any files/web pages the put in there will be available on the web and 
can be accessed from a web browser using the following URL:

 http://cs-sol.swansea.ac.uk/~username

where ~username is your student username, e.g., cs123456

To create a directory inside your public_html folder you can
use these commands:

%> cd public_html
%> mkdir myNewFolder

Where "myNewFolder" is the name of the folder you would like
to create.  To copy a file into your public_html folder you can 
use the command:

%> cp file.txt public_html

Where "file.txt" is the name of a file you'd like to copy into 
your public_html directory.

Don't forget to make files readable to everyone, e.g.,

%> chmod -R ugo+r *

Also, don't forget to make any directories you create executable
by everyone, e.g., 

%> mkdir myNewFolder
%> chmod ugo+x myNewFolder


There's a program called WinSCP (google "WinSCP") that enables you 
to transfer files to/from the CS web server from a Windoze machine.  
No instructions are provided on how to do that here.  We only provide
support for the use of the Linux machines.  You are welcome to contact 
the CS technicians with questions (cstech "at" swansea.ac.uk) concerning
the use of any Windoze software.
