Publishing Web Pages

Find out what you need to build a simple web page and upload it to your H:\ drive. Go to http://webpages.uncc.edu/~username/index.html to view your web pages.

To publish your web pages on the University network:

1. Copy your web files to the public_html folder on your H:\ drive.
2. Create the public_html folder if it doesn't exist (lowercase letters).
3. Name your main page index.html.
4. Go to http://webpages.uncc.edu/~username/index.html to view your page.

Student web space in the H:\ drive's public_html folder does not support dynamic page formats such as ASP, CGI, JSP or servlets. There are no plans to provide support for these formats in the immediate future.

Learn more about creating web pages with HTML, Microsoft FrontPage or Macromedia Dreamweaver by logging in to Online Training with SkillPort.

NetStorage allows you to access the files on your H:\ drive from a web browser by logging in to https://webf.uncc.edu with your NinerNET account. You can edit, copy, rename and move files and directories. Get more information on how to use NetStorage.  A broadband connection is suggested.

Are you logged into the University network on campus? If so, you don't need NetStorage, you already have direct access to the files on your H:\ drive by clicking My Computer.
