Part 1 - General Information

Individual departments, offices, or other recognized organizations at ESU must apply for web space if they do not already have it. (If your department/office/organization needs web space or has chosen a new web manager, fill out the appropriate form from ESU Web Access Forms.)

Each Web Manager receives an account once the appropriate form is received and processed. Each account has access to a home directory and to a web directory. Files may be copied to and from these directories via FTP.

Things you should keep in mind:

  • Pages should adhere to standard HTML syntax and have an extension of .htm or html.
  • Note: File names are case sensitive and MUST NOT CONTAIN SPACES. (Ex: webpage.htm NOT web page.htm)
  • You may create subdirectories within your web area, although this makes the address path longer. (Example: If Winnie Pooh had a web site named poohwinn then created a subdirectory named Kanga and a subdirectory in Kanga named Roo, the web address would be www.emporia.edu/poohwinn/kanga/roo/).
  • For FTP purposes you must use full path names on the server. Your home directory is at /home/userid (notice the directory uses "/" not "\") - userid is your account UserID, the same one that appears in your ESU e-mail address. (Example: Winnie Pooh's e-mail address may be "poohwinn@emporia.edu" - his userid is "poohwinn"). 
  • Your web directory is at /web/yourdirectory where yourdirectory is the name of the web area you are responsible for (Example: If you work for the Department of Children's Literature Characters with British Origin, your directory may be "/web/britkidlit/").
