Updating your web page

The most common way to update web pages is directly. All web page files are available on any CS UNIX workstation in /fs/www. Your personal web page is located in /fs/www/users/username You can simply edit and save .html files in this directory using a text editor or a graphical editor like netscape.

Editors like Frontpage cannot post webpages directly onto the department's web server, because our web server does not allow this service. Web pages must be saved as files to /fs/www. If you are using your laptop or a windows machine, you can mount this filesystem as a network drive. See the FAQ page:

for setup instructions. To access your home page, you'll want to map $\backslash$$\backslash$samba.cs.umd.edu$\backslash$wwwhome
