Frequently Asked Questions about the HW server
- How can I handle multiple classes on this server? Create a directory (folder) for each of them as specified in your class syllabus. It will probably be something like "CPTE110" or "JOUR242". Your teacher can navigate into these. If this is a web class, create an index.htm file in each directory that is a guide to what you have available for grading.
- What is the URL of my website? http://hw.cs.southern.edu/yourusername
- I checked out my pages on my PC, and they worked fine. Now when I upload to the HW server some links don't work and/or some pictures don't show. Why is this?
- You did not capitalize the names properly.
- You did not upload all the pieces of your project.
- How do I get a password for this server? You authenticate yourself by entering your email username and password, and enter the password you would like to use on this server. You are not allowed to use your email password on this server.
- May I have shell access to the server (please)? No, and thanks for asking nicely.
