Aye's web site
http://ayelab.org/ => http://yimonaye.moonfruit.com/ (as of 12/3/12)
One way to connect to the CIT server is using theWebDAV protocol, via <https://static-webdav.kproxy.cornell.edu/ccb-groupname/>. All logins are controlled by NetID and NetID password.
* In Windows – use Map a Network Drive
* In Mac – Use connect to server under Go
Connecting will mount your webspace as a filesystem, therefore enabling copying of the files. Move the appropriate files up to the server.
You can then, of course, verify the server is properly servicing your web files by going to <http://groupname.chem.cornell.edu>.
Other information you will need to use this service, moving forwards:
(1) If you want someone else in your group to edit your web site, simply send an email with your web site's name (or group's name), and the NetID and name of the person needing access, to <chemweb//AT//cornell.edu>. Use the same procedure to remove someone's rights. Thank you!
NOTE: Please send requests to <chemweb//AT//cornell.edu> instead of to CIT since Chemistry's turn-around will be much faster than going to CIT (by days!), and it's more transparent and sustainable. Also, going to CIT with such a request will likely introduce technical problems with your web site if they try to honor your request.
Anyone able to add content to your web site should review CIT's Terms and Conditions for their static web site hosting service, <http://www.it.cornell.edu/services/staticweb_hosting/terms.cfm>.
(2) You, and anyone given write-access to your web site, can see your site's disk usage at <https://static.hosting.cornell.edu:8009/status> (logging in with their NetID and password). Visiting this web page is provides a quick way to confirm someone has write rights seeing their appropriate website instance listed.
Please let Joyce, me (and others) know, at <chemweb//AT//cornell.edu>, if you have any questions or concerns about this service.
