Web Space and FTP

WVNET offers space for Web pages to dial-up users and those with POP3 e-mail accounts. The files are served and saved on one of our Linux servers. There is 4MB of space available for each account. HTML, graphics, and other files used in Web page development may also be stored there.

How do I use my WVNET Web space?

To transfer files to your Web directory, you will need to FTP (File Transfer Protocol) files to your Web site:

You will FTP to myweb.wvnet.edu
Know your userid and password

Note that your Web pages will be saved in a directory called "public_html" (or a subdirectory within it).

Note that file names are CASE SENSITIVE under Linux/Apache. For this reason, you must make sure that all references to filenames in your HTML exactly match your actual file names on the system -- if they don't, the files will not be found and served properly. We recommend that you keep all file names and file references in lower case for convenience.

If you need help, please call the WVNET Help Desk at (304)293-5192.
