Tutorial: SIT Personal Webspace

tim.dawborn on Mar 5th 2008

Did you know that the Usyd School of IT servers provide personal webspace for any students studying IT?
You can have your own website at a URL like http://www.ug.it.usyd.edu.au/~userXYXY

To set up your personal webspace allowed on your School of IT (SIT) account, log into a congo machine either at uni or via SSH and type the following commands:

$ mkdir -p ~/lib/html
$ chmod 711 ~
$ chmod -R 711 ~/lib
$ cd ~/lib/html

Create your webpage in this directory (~/lib/html), say it is called index.html. Now to make it publicly visible on the internet, type the following:

$ chmod a+r index.html

Then assuming your Usyd username is abcd1234, open your Internet browser and go to http://www.ug.it.usyd.edu.au/~abcd1234/
