University Computing Services (UCS) announces a new facility for hosting personal webpages of FSU affiliates (including faculty, students and staff.) This facility will replace the previous public_html directory usage for garnet and mailer account holders. As a result, UCS will no longer be accepting requests for new shell accounts.
Users who have an existing site on garnet (or mailer) are encouraged to move to "myweb.fsu.edu".
What is WebDAV?
WebDAV stands for "Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning".
For folks who maintain websites at FSU, it is simply a method for accessing
the web server.
To learn more information about WebDAV, how to use and how to obtain
a "myWebDAV"
website:
wORKING WITH WebDAV:
If you currently have a website (a public_html directory) on mailer or garnet, your myweb.fsu.edu has been created. To check, enter myweb.fsu.edu/YOURFSUID in a browser window.
If you get a "NOT Found", you need to submit a ticket to request a myweb account.
- The new facility (webDAV) eliminates the need to use SFTP to upload files.
- Users will access their myweb space through a client connection instead using their FSUID and password
- This should make website development easier than ever.
To learn more about myweb.fsu.edu, please see information provided at http://ucs.fsu.edu/docs/mywebdav.html
Access instructions for several clients are provided there.
We encourage you to check out this new way of creating web pages and move your own web page to the myweb.fsu.edu site.
After reviewing the information provided at http://ucs.fsu.edu/docs/mywebdav.html, if you still have questions, contact the FSU Technology Services Help Desk at (850) 644-HELP (4357) or e-mail help@fsu.edu.
