CSD provides daily support to customers via email and on the phone. If you have unusual requests or desire custom programming solutions please don't hesitate to email support with your request.

If you have an account on atlas.csd.net, setting up a web page is straightforward.

Step 1:

If you have never used telnet before, you may want to consult a book for documentation on unix commands or see our short unix guide. Run the telnet program. Connect to atlas.csd.net

Enter your username & password at the prompts. At the atlas.csd.net> prompt, type: websetup. This creates a WWW subdirectory and sets privileges so that the web server can see your files.

Important: Other CSD users will now have read access to your directories and files. If you have information that you want to keep private, create a directory within your home directory and use chmod 700 dirname to secure it's contents.

Step 2:

PC Users: be sure to upload all graphic files as type binary, html files as type ascii.

Macintosh users using fetch Upload graphics files as type raw data, html files as type text. When uploading, make sure fetch doesn't suffix .txt on to the end of your .html files. You can set this in fetch preferences.

Remember that unix filenames are case sensitive. Your web directory is WWW, not www.

Step 3:

Note: The 'squiggly' character is the tilde - Hold down shift and press the key above the tab key on an extended keyboard.

A counter script is available to everyone on atlas. Click here for instructions and examples on how to use it.

User CGI scripts are automatically run as your UserID. Therefore, you don't need to run CGIWRAP, and you should refrain from making your scripts/directories world-writable (in fact, your script won't work if you make it writable by anyone other than yourself).
