  • To set up your home page, connect to the server web.ece.ucsb.edu with an SFTP client. If you're using Linux/UNIX, you can use sftp. If Mac OS, you can use Fugu. If Windows, you can use WinSCP.
  • Connect with your ECE-NT credentials, and you'll be placed by default in your home directory. There you will see a subdirectory called public_html. Any files placed in this directory will be available at the url http://www.ece.ucsb.edu/~hwchen/.
  • So, for example, if you create a file called index.html and upload it to the web server as /home/hwchen/public_html/index.html , it will be available via the web at http://www.ece.ucsb.edu/~hwchen/index.html.
