Publishing Web Content

You can publish Web contents using HTTPS on the Zengaku Computer System.
Publication via HTTP was discontinued in February 2022.

Application for publishing Web content

To publish your wwws directory on the Web, please apply from the “Applicant for web service” menu of the User System (accessible only from on-campus) . Unless you apply, you cannot use the wwws directory described below.

Uploading Web contents

On a terminal of the Zengaku Computer System or by remote access, put the contents (HTML files, etc.) which you want to publish in the wwws directory under your home directory.

For example, if you put an HTML file named aaa.html in the wwws directory, then the file is published as a Web page whose URL is

URL

* Note: Once files are placed in the wwws directory, those files will be released to the whole world and can be viewed by anyone (except for access restricted parts). Please only put files that you certainly want to publish.

For easy access restriction please make a directory named local_only somewhere in wwws. Content placed in local_only directory can be viewed only from terminals of the Zengaku Computer System (including remote desktop).

local_only

Even if it is not directly under wwws, access will be restricted in any hierarchy as long as it is a directory named local_only.

For the specific location of the wwws directory, please refer to the following.
