No problem. You already have space on astro. You just don't know how to access it. You have two options to make a web page: 1. Go through TUportal and click on the tab labeled "My Backpack"
- From here you can upload files to your backback, which is a private folder that can be shared with others or not.
- If you want to upload a website, you need to click on "Publish My Webpage"
- It is a little annoying because you can only upload one file at a time. But it is user friendly.
- If you are a little more computer saavy you can try...
2. Or you can use a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP).
- Temple gives you a free program called SSH Secure Shell here and they give you directions on how to use it here.
- You can upload multiple files and create directories with ease. Your website directory is "public_html"
- Temple doesn't really give you any help creating a web site. That is up to you and whatever software you choose to use.
- If you are using Blogger, or you want to upload directly from your software (i.e. Microsoft Frontpage) you will have to know the full path of your "public_html" directory.
- This is done by going to the unix prompt and typing pwd
- So the full path would be something like /homeb/033/username/public_html
As a side note, your website is always located at http://astro.temple.edu/~username (where "username" is your accessnet username). Don't forget the tilde (~) symbol!!
If you need any more assistance you can try Temple Webhelp.
