SSH Folder Setup for Information Design

  1. Open SSH Secure File Transfer Client on your computer
  2. Click on "Quick Connect"
  3. For "Host Name" enter www.eden.rutgers.edu
  4. Enter your Eden username
  5. Click "Connect" and enter your password.
  6. Check the Remote (right) side of the SSH window for a "public_html" folder.
  7. Create a "public_html" folder there if you don't have one already – see the GetIT SSH Tutorial for help. Note that public_html must be spelled exactly that way: lower-case letters with an underscore (no quote-marks).
  8. Check that your "public_html" folder's permissions are 755.
  9. In your "public_html" folder make a "415" folder and set its permissions to 755.
  10. In your "415" folder make a "hw" folder (where you'll store your homework) and set its permissions to 755.
  11. Double-check that you didn't use spaces or upper-case letters in your filenames!
  12. Check that everything worked: in a browser, enter
    http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~your username/415
    You should see your "hw" folder listed inside your "415" folder.
  13. Next, in your "hw" folder makes an "img" folder and set its permissions also to "755".
  14. This should appear in a browser window when you enter

    http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~your username/415/hw/

  15. Next, in your "415" folder make a "projects" folder (where you'll store your web pages until the midterm) – and set its permissions to 755.
  16. Check that everything worked as in step 8.
  17. Finally, in your "projects" folder makes an "img" folder and set its permissions also to "755".
  18. This should appear in a browser window when you enter

    http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~your username/415/projects/
