File Upload and Sharing Service for large files

  • Files are available for 30 days.
Map drives with CIFS
Secure Daily Backups and Archives for Storage
  • U of R network servers are securely backed up daily and archived regularly; storing files on a network drive provides better security and backup than local storage.
What happens to my stored files when I leave the U of R?
  • Download any files you wish to keep before leaving the U of R, as OneDrive files are deleted when you leave the University.

URL for Personal Website and Create first main Webpage

URL for Personal Website

The URL for your personal website is  http://uregina.ca/~username

Create first main Webpage

  • Note: Web design software is not provided.
  • You can create your .HTML files in any commonly available web design program, such as Dreamweaver, MS Sharepoint Designer, Google Web Designer, or CoffeeCup.
  • Create your webpage first, then upload the files to your space on the uregina.ca server (http://uregina.ca/~username).
  • Your main webpage file must be named index.html
  • HTML files can be transferred to your uregina.ca account using SSH file transfer software.
How do I Upload my Webpage Files to the uregina.ca Server?
  1. Once both PuTTY and winSCP have been installed, open winSCP from Start-Programs menu.
  2. Enter Host name: uregina.ca, Port number: 22 (Note: You may have to click NEW... at the top right to get the 'Session' window with blank Host name to open).
  3. Enter your usual uregina.ca username and password (Note: remaining fields can be left blank).
  4. Click Login (Note: You may get a "server host key not found" error, if so, click Yes to continue).
  5. You will now be connected to your personal files, with your C: drive on the left side, and your I: drive files on the right side.
  6. Double-Click the public_html directory on the right side to open it.
  7. Navigate through the folders on the LEFT side to where you have stored your index.html file.
  8. Click and drag the index.html file over to the RIGHT side and click Copy in the pop up window.
  9. If you are modifying an existing file that is already there, it will prompt you that the file exists. Click Yes to overwrite the old file with the new version.
  10. Continue dragging any other webpage files and images that you need for your website.
File Transfers from UR Web Server and SSH Setup
  • Transferring files to the UR web server must be done using SSH protocol. SSH login to uregina.ca uses your usual uregina.ca username and password.
  • The server uregina.ca is able to provide secure file and terminal access via the openSSH suite.
  • You need to download and install the appropriate ssh/scp/sftp clients, if not already installed on the computer system you are using.

FTP access through ftp.uregina.ca has been disabled due to security concerns, and is no longer supported.

Windows Systems Setup

Non-UofR Users

The source location for PuTTY and WinSCP are located at:

Mac Systems Setup

  • MacOS has a built-in SSH client called Terminal. Search for Terminal to open the program.

Linux Systems Setup

  • Linux, *nix, BSD, and related platforms will use the openSSH suite which is generally installed by default.
  • Information about openSSH can be found at https://www.openssh.com/
How do I Delete my Webpage
  1. You need to delete the index.html file in the public_html directory on the RIGHT hand side.
    Click the file once so it is highlighted, then click the red X at the bottom to delete or press F8.
    Be very careful you are not deleting anything on the LEFT hand side, which is your current C: drive files. 
  2. You should also delete the remaining files in the public_html directory if you do not want them to be accessible online.
For further information or assistance, contact the IS Service Desk (formerly, IT Support Centre).
