Information for Everyone
Directory/Folder Names and Filenames
Directory/folder names and filenames on the web server should not have spaces. Alphanumeric characters, the underscore, the dash, and the period are acceptable. Any other punctuation is not recommended. (Note: As of Aug. 5, 2005, it is no longer necessary to avoid the user of upper case letters for personal web pages stored in user home directories on the Admin and Academic servers.)
We Suggest
all lowercase
no spaces
no punctuation
short folder names and filenames
Examples
\web\contact.html
\library\resources.html
\mediaservices\services.html
.html or .htm?
We suggest saving the web pages on your site using the .html extension. You may use .htm for saving your web pages but then stick with this extension. Being consistent is important.
Naming Your Home Page
In order for the web server to automatically serve your home page, it must be called index.html or index.htm. Subsequent pages can be added and linked from the home page.

Personal Pages
Web pages and all associated files (HTML files, graphics, sounds, etc.) must be placed in the public.www folder located in your user folder on the network. Once you have placed your home page (index.html or index.htm) in the public.www folder, your personal web page may be accessed via a web browser with the following URL:
http://www.macalester.edu/~username
Note: If you do not have the Novell client or have OS X version 10.4 (Tiger), use NetStorage to post personal pages to the web
server. See the ITS document Web-based Network File Access (PDF).
Once logged in to the Novell network, a user can access a personal web page directory by following the steps included below.

Department and Organization Pages
Web pages and all associated files (HTML files, graphics, sounds, etc.) must be placed in the public.www folder located in the department/organization folder on the web server. Once the department's home page (index.html or index.htm) is in place, the web page may be accessed via a web browser with the following URL:
http://www.macalester.edu/deptname
http://www.macalester.edu/orgname
Trustee permissions for department/organization web page directories are assigned by Web Services staff upon request. Trustee permissions allow an individual user to access a specific web directory (sometimes referred to as a web folder or web site). Academic and administrative departments may request that student workers be made trustees of departmental directories; requests must be submitted by a faculty or staff member. Requests can be sent via e-mail to webmaster@macalester.edu or by phone at x6307 or x6502.
