Configure Your Webspace

1. Read Bard's Computing Policies

2. Create Your Webpage

3. Upload Your Webpage

Once you have created your web pages, you will need to upload the files you created in order for them to be viewed via the WWW. Before you can upload your pages to Bard's server some of you* will need to configure your web space to serve web information.
*This applies to everyone hired before 2005.

1. Double-click "Telnet Bard" or open Telnet to connect to the bard.edu system (the same way you log on to use Pine to read email)

2. Log on and enter your password just like you would if you were using Pine to read email:

telnet (bard.edu)
Bard College Academic Computing
Bard login:
Password:

3. After you have entered your password, the prompt (%) appears after your user name:

1 bard:yourusername/ %

 
4. To set up your web publishing space, type makeweb after the prompt (%):

Note: This is the same place you usually enter "mail" or "pine" in order to read your email. You enter "makeweb" this one time only, since this command creates your web space.

5. You will then see the following:

This program will configure your home directory for web

Enter y to configure for web publishing....enter q to quit
