Welcome to UBFS Service: UBFS support page, including activating and managing personal web pages, and setting up Network Places for accessing UBFS from home computers. Note the "instructions on public html" link which includes detailed instruction for working with your default home page.
Working on Web Pages--the basics
All members of the UB community have a default home page located in the public html folder in their UBFS disk space (go to Welcome to UBFS Service for additional information: follow the "turn on/turn off homepage" link to activate your web pages).
The addresses for individual home pages use the following algorithm:
http://www.buffalo.edu/~yourUBITName
(This address will open the web page named index)
for other pages in the public_html folder add
/filename.htm
(i.e.http://www.buffalo.edu/~yourUBITName/filename.htm)
URLs are case sensitive and simple filenames with no spaces work best--if there are spaces in the web page's file name, use the underscore key ( _ ).The easiest way to create and edit work on Web pages is off-line in a dedicated folder containing the same files and structure as the public_html folder (in the CCCL, a temporary folder on the desktop or in removable media such as a USB Flash drive).
1. Open Word and choose New Page on the file menu.
2. Choose "save as"
o use the file name "index" for your home page.
o choose "web page" for the file type
o choose the local folder for destination
3. Drag the completed web pages from the folder on your machine or storage media into the public_html folder
Alternately, open the index page directly by navigating via the S drive.
