Do you want to be a WWW server yourself?

 
Tech Tips
WWW Everyone

First, you need to do a bit of setting up. Get a netid and a UNIX account on tigger (or icarus) (use the online account creation process from a public PC lab or another WWW browser on the UIC campus). Then login to tigger (or icarus), and enter these commands (just once)

mkdir public_html
chmod a+x .
chmod a+xr public_html
After that, put each HTML file you produce in your public_html directory. Give each world read permission: for example, for mydoc.html, cd to public_html, then enter:
chmod a+r mydoc.html
That's it. Assuming that your netid is AdaBryon, the URL for anyone in the world to browse your file mydoc.html is:
http://tigger.uic.edu/~adabryon/mydoc.html
(Or http://icarus.uic.edu/~adabryon/mydoc.html on icarus.)

Happy HTMLing!
