Publishing Web Content via webpages.uah.edu

Active students, faculty, and staff may publish Web content through the webpages.uah.edu server. Each user's web address is based on their Charger ID (webpages.uah.edu + tilde + ChargerID). An example is http://webpages.uah.edu/~jc0040

See http://webpages.uah.edu/ for more information.

Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) or Secure Copy (SCP) may be used to transfer content to the server. FileZilla is one free utility that can be used on Windows or macOS computers for transferring the content. Linux and macOS users may also use the command-line "sftp" and "scp" utilities that are shipped with those operating systems.

To upload content to your own space on that server, follow the steps below.

  1. Use an SFTP client to connect to the server webpages.uah.edu. The required port is 22.
  2. Login is with your Charger ID and password (the same credentials you use for Canvas, myUAH, and more).
  3. Navigate to the public_html folder in your directory if you aren't put there automatically.
  4. Upload content to your public_html folder to make it available on your webpages.uah.edu page.
     

Notes:

  • The maximum space allocated by default is 100 MB.
  • If you need to update content that you don't have a copy of locally, you can download existing files and edit them and then upload them again.
  • Command-line editors such as "vim" may be used to edit the files directly by logging into webpages.uah.edu via a Secure Shell (ssh) connection.
