This
assignment will create an initial web page for you at
http://i6.cims.nyu.edu/~netid - Soon you will
update this page, but for the time being we
just want to establish your

there!

Hostname: i6.cims.nyu.edu

Password: the password that we have given you
Here is the i6 account
information you will need to post web pages to your site in later steps on this page:
Web Folder/directory: public_html (This
is the folder on i6 accounts that will serve
files to the web. All html
and image files should be uploaded into this
folder to be viewed on the web)
Web page address/URL: http//i6.cims.nyu.edu/~netid
If you forget
your password, please advise your instructor.
Login for the first time and change your password by using these
instructions.
These instructions are for the

1. Double-click on
Terminal (which is available on OS X)
2. At the command line, type in ssh
netid@i6.cims.nyu.edu or ssh i6.cims.nyu.edu -l netid so you will be logged in under your

Next, you need to post a webpage with your name in the title and body.
Here is a sample webpage to start:

</head>
<body>
<p> --> Your Name and any other text you would like goes here --> </p>

Use TextEdit or TextWrangler on the MAC or Notepad or Notepad++
on the PC to type in or copy the HTML text above and then enter your name into the title and the body of the page.
Also note that some people are also using the new editor Brackets which is available for both PC and Mac.
Save the file as "index.html" and test it
in a browser
locally to make sure it looks ok (using FILE / OPEN ... in your browser).
Note about using TextEdit on Mac
OS X: select Preferences and click on plain text so that you see your web pages in text format:

Use an SFTP program (available from ITS) or check here for Fugu
for the MAC or WinSCP 3.5

your "index.html" web page
file to your i6 remote server. Note that the ITS Mac labs have Fetch installed and you can use the NYU site-wide license to install Fetch on your Mac for free.
Make sure that you upload the file into the
"public_html" folder on your server.
