Be sure that youve given me your e-mail address and other personal information on
hard copy. Well run through the process of setting up the space for your Web sites next class.
puTTy should be on your All Programs list. If not, go to Explorer (not IE) Computer->Programs->puTTy and log in to
alpha.lasalle.edu
User ID is the same as you used to get in to lab. Password should be
12345_abc where 12345=first 5 of your Social and abc=first 3 of your last name. Then you need these LINUX commands that you run in puTTy
:
- pp_orig to originate the public_html
- pp_perm to set the permissions
- and try ls to list the system files
(It might be there already.) While youre at it you can change the password from your standard LAN one at the prompt by typing "passwd" as in:
1%passwd and hitting Enter.
Use Filezilla to see if the public_html is there.
If you havent got a copy of Filezilla at home, go to
Filezilla Project
and download the free Home trial version (only good for 30 days).
When you log on here or at home, set the Profile Name and the
HostName/address to:
alpha.lasalle.edu,
the Host type to (Automatic Detect) or UNIX(standard) if that doesnt work,
and use your regular ID and your alpha password. You can also try to use ftp through the browser at ftp://alpha.lasalle.edu (works better off campus).
