Creating websites on labspace

The instructions for getting some webspace off of the department are as follows:

1. Login to a Linux Machine. Using your user name csXXXXXX
2. Create a public_html folder in your home directory.
3. Give this folder relevant permissions (755 / 711 depending on personal preference)
4. Create a page e.g. index.html
5. View it http://cs-sol.swan.ac.uk/~csXXXXXX/index.html
6. Where XXXXXX is your student Id.
    
7. e.g. http://cs-sol.swan.ac.uk/~cs323358/

By the way, you can also SSH into the linux lab machines:
There is a list of machines in the linux lab that are avaliable to ssh into on the computer science forums (http://compsci.fychan.com). Basically open terminal.

ssh csXXXXXX@cs-sol.swan.ac.uk
