Deltona

Winthrop's web server for students is Deltona. The URL of your homepage is deltona.birdnest.org/~acc.yourid, where yourid is your Linux account ID, like dannellys2.

Put your HTML files in your Linux account under the directory public_html. Make sure that directory and your home directory are both executable by all (so the web server can get to your files). The command to set the permissions on the current directory is
chmod a+x .
Also, make sure your files are readable by all, for example:
chmod a+r lab01.html

Finally, the file name for your homepage is "index.html".
