Personal Web Sites
Faculty, Staff and Students at the University of Regina are provided with personal web space.
The url for your personal website is: http://uregina.ca/~username
Create your base webpage first:
- 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 page file must be named 'index.html'.
- HTML files can be transferred to your uregina.ca account using SSH file transfer software.
Set up your system for file transfer:
- Visit the SSH setup information page for assistance setting up your system.
- For Windows operating systems, you will need to install winSCP software and PUtty Terminal emulator software.
To upload your webpage files to the uregina.ca server:
- Once both Putty and winSCP have been installed, open winSCP from Start-Programs menu
- 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)
- Enter your usual uregina.ca username and password (Note: remaining fields can be left blank)
- Click Login (Note: You may get a "server host key not found" error, just click "Yes" to continue)
- You will now be connected to your personal files with your C: drive on the left side and your I: drive files in the right side
- Double-Click the "public_html" directory on the right side to open it
- Navigate through the folders on the LEFT side to where you have stored your index.html file
- Click and drag the index.html file over to the RIGHT side and click "Copy" in the pop up window
- 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.
- Continue dragging any other webpage files and images that you need for your website
To Delete your webpage:
- You need to delete the "index.html" file in the "public_html" directory in 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. - You should also delete the remaining files in the "public_html" directory if you do not want them to be accessible online.
