IT 130 -- Activity 1
Create a Simple Webpage

  1. Create and upload an HTML file.

    1. In Notepad, create a file named A1-smith.htm (use your last name). Type in the source code from the example Ex1 (cut and paste is cheating): Ex1 Source Code.

    2. IMPORTANT: Make two modifications to the source code.

      Replace <body>   with
      <body style="margin-left: 1in">   and

      Replace <h2>A Simple HTML Example</h2>   with
      <h2 style="font-style: italic; text-align: center">A Simple HTML Example</h2>  

    3. Save the file with the name A1smith.htm.

    4. Use SSH Secure File Transfer Client to create a directory named public_html in your home folder in your students account.

    5. Use SSH Secure File Transfer Client to create a directory named A1 inside public_html.

    6. Use SSH Secure File Transfer Client to upload the file A1-smith.htm to the folder A1 within public_html in the home directory of your students.depaul.edu account.

    7. Make sure that the permissions of A1smith.htm are read and write for owner, read for group, and read for other.

    8. Make sure that the permissions of the directory public_html are read, write, and execute for owner, read and execute for group, and read and execute for other.

  2. Your homepage should now be visible over the web at this URL:
    http://students.depaul.edu/~jsmith/A1/A1smith.htm
    (replace ~jsmith with your username).
