Personal Homepage Service

Introduction

Welcome to Personal Home Page Service of Alumni Internet. We would like to provide a place for our Alumni to reflect their activities, personal interests or the community they serve.

How to Submit Your Home Page to Alumni Account

Step 1

First of all, you should get a FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program that helps you to transfer files to your account in the Unix server (alumni.cuhk.edu.hk).

If you don't have one, we recommend you to download a program called WS_FTP LE from the CUHK FTP Server.

Step 2

Execute your FTP program to log on your UNIX account in the Alumni Internet Server. After you enter your userid and password, you should be in your home directory. Figure 1 below shows the initial screen when you use WS_FTP to logon your account.

Step 3

Change the directory to www. This is the directory where you place your home page. (For WS_FTP user, you can click the www folder icon at the right hand side)

If you logon the account using a text-based FTP program, you can enter command, cd www, after sucessful logon to the system.

Step 4

Transfer all files required to this "www" directory. Before you transfer these files, ensure that you have a file under the "www" directory called index.html which acts as your front page.

For WS_FTP user, you can mark all files from the left hand side and click the -> button in the middle.

If using a text-based FTP program, you can enter command, mput *.*, after sucessful logon to the system.

Step 5

Disconnect when transfer finished. Then follow the section "Access to your Personal Home Page" below to browse your page(s).
