Q. How do I create a personal web page?

A. Creating a personal web page can be done by simply reserving your space on MUPFC (Marshall University Personal File Cabinet), or commonly referred to as your V: drive, this can be done by creating a folder and naming the folder "public_html".

Complete the following steps to create a "public_html" folder on your V: drive.

If off campus or in a residence hall:

Any files placed in the 'public_html" folder will be fully public and viewable by anyone on the web.

To create a default page place an index.html file in your "public_html" folder. 

The web address for your webpage is http://mupfc.marshall.edu/~your user name

an example of a personal webpage address is: http://mupfc.marshall.edu/~jdoe2

Q. What applications can I use to create a personal web page?

A. Any standard HTML editor will do nicely. Marshall UCS/UCF computers have Microsoft FrontPage preinstalled and ready for use. (Please be advised that MUPFC will NOT allow you to use FrontPage extensions.)

You can also try our online HTML editor and save the files to a disk, or your V drive. Click here for the editor.
or if you would like to practice writing HTML and seeing the results in real-time, Click Here to try the HTML ScratchPad.

Q. How can I transfer my personal webpage from HOBBIT to my V drive?

2. Enter the command set def [.www]
3. Connect to mufpc.marshall.edu (the server that contains V drives) and copy the files (commands you enter are in bold text):

HOBBIT$ ftp mupfc.marshall.edu
MUPFC.MARSHALL.EDU> login
Foreign username: marshall\username
< password required for marshall\username
Password: <-- Enter your domain password. It will not echo anything.
<User marshall\username logged in.
MUPFC.MARSHALL.EDU> cd public_html
MUPFC.MARSHALL.EDU> mput *.html*
MUPFC.MARSHALL.EDU> bin
MUPFC.MARSHALL.EDU> mput *.gif
MUPFC.MARSHALL.EDU> mput *.jpg
