Weaving Your Own Web

If you have created hypermedia documents of your own using HTML, or have plain ASCII text files that you would like the whole world to be able to look at, then you will need to follow the steps below:

1. You need to send email to help@math and inform them that you need a directory created to put your web documents in. The directory created will be located in:
   /other/www/people/ and will resemble your login name. You will be notified when the directory has been created.
2. Once the directory has been created, you can copy the documents you want to put on the Web, to this new directory. You can also create subdirectories and put documents in these subdirectories.
3. Now you need to correctly set the permissions for all of the documents that you put in this directory so that people all over the world can read them. In order to do this, you need to use the chmod command. An example follows.
   math joe % cd other/www/people/joe
   math joe % chmod a+r file-name
