Your Personal Web Space

Using mksenspage to set up your space

Creating a personal web page that can be accessed by the SENS web servers involves making a directory named public_html under your Engineering home directory and putting a file named index.html in it. A script called mksenspage (which was modified from the CIT mkhomepage script) can be used to do this.

To run the script:

• Log in to your account (see "Accessing Our Timeshares" for more information)
• At the command prompt, type mksenspage > mksenspage

After running the script, the file index.html can be edited to suit your needs.

Once your page is created, it can be accessed using a URL such as this if you have an Engineering account:

Or by using a URL like this for If you have a Natural Sciences and Mathematics account:

Editing and uploading files

Once your page is set up, you can edit files in your personal space via Telnet, or upload files via FTP.

To log in to your personal space via Telnet (SSH), connect to:

Be sure to use your SEAS password whenever you log in to unix.eng or unix.nsm. Go to the public_html directory to upload your files.
