Faculty
Faculty in the Cockrell School of Engineering are welcome to publish on our server. Your space will be accessible via SFTP and/or FrontPage. Several departments (ChE, PGE, and BME) already host their sites on our server. We can set up space for you under the appropriate departmental URL. Please contact our Service Desk, 232-2486, service.desk@engr.utexas.edu, to get started.
Students
Students with home directory space may request a personal web site. By default, your home directory space is not set up for web publishing, so you must request this optional service.
- Once you have requested your web site, there will be a folder named public_html in your home directory (\\disk.austin.utexas.edu\root\engrstu\yourDept\yourEID). All files relevant to your web site must be placed in the public_html folder.
- Once you have created your web page, name your Home Page index.htm.
- In order for your page to be published, the initial page must be named, index.htm.
- The URL for your personal page is: http://studentweb.engr.utexas.edu/EID.
-
Notes:
- Your web pages are included in your 1 GB disk space quota for your Home Directory.
- The studentweb.engr.utexas.edu server supports ASP and PHP.
Student Organizations
Student Organizations may have space on our server, just pick a URL (e.g., www.engr.utexas.edu/sec/) and contact our service desk with the UT EID's of those who should have access.
