How to Make your Home Page and other files Public

If you are a student taking certain computer science courses at
CSUSB then you can publish your work on the World Wide
Web at
	csci.csusb.edu/public

You can put things on this server directly from our
laboratory computers.  They have a special public directory
that is on the web server!  It is called /public.
/public duplicates the structure of the shared home 
directories /u.

NOTE: HTML pages, GIFs, FTP files etc all have to be
in the /public/group/username directory for them to be accessible.

Your home directory remains private and files other than those in
	/public
are not accessible from the WWW.  

In detail, to make a file (html, gif,...) public you
must find out out your $HOME directory:
	echo $HOME
It should look like this
	/u/group/username
There should be a public directory
	/publish/group/username
waiting for your public files.

Suppose you are in your home directory:
	/u/group/username
then I wrote a program to help me publish things
	~dick/bin/publish filename
does this for you:
	cp filename /public/group/username/filename
and the URL is
	http://csci.csusb.edu/public/group/username/filename

Publish will also copy directories.


From other parts of the WWW you should use the free SCP
tool to Securely CoPy files to it.
