Overview
While Google Sites is the recommended solution for publishing webpages outside of www.uah.edu, active students, faculty, and staff may also publish web content via the UAH Personal Webpages Server. Each user's web address is based on their Charger ID in the form https://webpages.uah.edu/~{ChargerID}. An example is https://webpages.uah.edu/~jc0040.
Visit webpages.uah.edu for more information.
Steps
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 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 the UAH Personal Webpages Server, follow the steps below.
-
Use an SFTP client to connect to the server webpages.uah.edu. The required port is 22.
-
Your username and password are your Charger ID and Charger password. These are the same credentials you use to sign in to UAH Single Sign-On and access things like myUAH and Canvas.
-
Navigate to the public_html folder in your directory if you aren't put there automatically.
-
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, 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.
