SURE FAQ

Q: How do I create a webpage on my CES account?

A: Use the following guide to create your webpage.

Creating a Webpage on the CES domain.

1. Make the page using whatever means you wish. Students often use Dreamweaver, Microsoft FrontPage, or write the html themselves in a text editor.
   
   
2. Log into one of the CES machines (*.ces.clemson.edu) either by the console or through ssh.
   
   
3. Create a directory named 'public_html' in your home directory, if it doesn’t already exist.
   
   
4. Place your files in this directory. This can be accomplished through scp, or the Windows ssh client available on the lab PCs if you designed your webpage using Windows.
   
   
5. Type the command "chmod –R 755 ~/public_html" to make the folder readable by everyone.
   
   
6. Be sure that the root of your page is 'index.html', as this is the webpage that the CES webserver will open by default. Some people prefer to simply link 'index.html' to another file that is their real main page.
   
   
7. Your page should now be available at: "http://www.ces.clemson.edu/~youruserid/".
