Do you want create your own homepage? First you must be in the UNIX shell on the Hoopeston Online server. To get there, open your Ewan telnet program (looks like the icon below, in your CU-Online group). Make(edit) a new connection called CU-Online, and make your network address cu-online.com.

Log on to the system with your user name (without the capital P).

Your home page must be named index.html, and placed in a directory and named .html. To make the subdirectory, type: mkdir.html To access and edit the files on /.html, type: cd .html

We're assuming you have your home page designed and ready to post. If you don't, learn how to make your own World Wide Web page. You'll need to transfer it to your .html directory using an FTP program. Use CuteFTP (shown below), in your CU-Online group.

Pico is a UNIX editor program. You can edit your files using the command pico index.html

For .html, .htm, .gif, .jpg, .map, and .txt files the permissions need to be set for read, and not executable. You can change the permissions with the following command:

chmod 644 *.html or chmod 644 *.gif

There is a list of scripts available for your pages, and various counters. If you want work with scripts, create a directory under .html, call it cgi-bin, send E-mail to www@cu-online.com, and a Script Alias will be set up to work with that directory.
