Anyone in the department with a login to its networked
systems can make their own World Wide Web home page. This should
contain basic information about your function and location in the
department plus any other information you choose to add. When set up it
will be accessible via www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/your_login_name. It will
also be accessible via "People in the Department" on the front
page of the Department Website if you request this. To make this
request, click on Enquiries at the bottom of the home page on
www.phon.ucl.ac.uk and fill in the form asking for link to be made from
People in the Department to your web page. Give your login name on the
Phonetics and Linguistics server as this identifies the directory name
containing your home page.
To create you own page
If you are not a Phonetics & Linguistics staff member, click on
Enquiries at the bottom of the home page on www.phon.ucl.ac.uk and fill
in the form, asking for a web space directory to be enabled for you on
the server.
Normally only Departmental PhD students in addition to P&L staff
members will be given space here.
Make the pages using an HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) editor on a
PC and then save them onto your web space on the Phonetics and
Linguistics web server. The free PC application "First Page" provides a
facility for web page
creation, editing and saving onto the Phonetics and Linguistics web
server from a PC in the department, and in conjunction with the
free secure file transfer application WinSCP from a PC outside the
department.. Instructions for using these are available here.
This is the recommended method.
Many other HTML editors are available. Microsoft Word has a facility
for saving files created under it in HTML
and can be used for simple pages.
To save your web pages onto the Phon/Ling web server from a
PC not directly plugged into to the department's network you must
use an editor or file transfer system which sends the files to
bell.phon.ucl.ac.uk into directory /www/home/your_login_name via the
sftp protocol such as WinSCP. You should not use the ftp protocol
facilitiy available in many free web editors as this sends your
password to the server unencrypted which is a security risk. You must
enter your Phonetics & Linguistics username
and password before the files can be saved.
From a PC directly plugged into the department's network,
files can be saved to and edited in your server web space as though
they are on your PC's local disk. To do this your server web space must
be mapped to a spare drive letter on your PC. This is one way to to
this:-
Log on via Windows using your network password and user name. Right click on "My computer" then left click "map network drive" and map drive e: (if spare, otherwise use another letter that is) to \\bell\www
Copy or save the file you have created to drive e::
HTML file naming
If a file in the top level directory of your web space is named
Welcome.html, welcome.html, index.html or index.php then the
instructions in
this file will be acted on when
www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/your_login_name/
is accessed. If you have only one file in your web space it
should have one of these names. preferably index.html which is a more
common standard. If you have other files then a file
with one of these names should contain links to these others.
