Publishing a Web Page on ASUWLink (w3.uwyo.edu) Once your web page is created, you must put it on a server that can be accessed by Internet users. Students at the Univ. of Wyoming can create accounts on the IT mainframe asuwlink.uwyo.edu that is also known as the web server w3.uwyo.edu. Related Help Desk files Setting up an Account on ASUWlink Create a Personal Web Page on a Mac Setting Up your Web Site on w3.uwyo.edu You need to connect to ASUWlink by using Nifty Telnet on the Macintosh or by typing telnet at the Run. . . command under the START menu on Windows. When you set up your account on w3.uwyo.edu, you must first give Internet users execute permission to your home directory by typing: chmod o+x ~. You then need to create a directory (folder) that will contain your web pages. This directory must be called "public_html". Create this directory by typing: mkdir public_html. Any pages that you want on the Internet must be in this directory. You must also give Internet users permission to access this directory by typing: chmod o+x ~/public_html. This allows Internet users to see your web pages and images but not to change them. You must also give read access to all of the web pages created in your public_html directory by typing chmod o+r filename. Also, your mainpage must be called index.html to allow for automatic serving.
