Web Development Tips

Your on-campus web address will be in the following format:

http://web.bryant.edu/~[username]/[subdirectories]/[filename].html

Example: http://web.bryant.edu/~helpdesk/web/noname.html

The default page (also know has your home page) is:

http://web.bryant.edu/~[username]

Note: Your username will usually be the same as your email username.

All web subdirectories and files are kept in the web_docs subdirectory of your account. You will find a simple HTML home page (index.html) in your web_docs folder.

In order to edit this file you must connect to the BryantFTP server using secure file transfer program (SFTP) and change directories to the web_docs subdirectory. Once in the web_docs directory, download the web page to your computer. You can use a text editor (e.g. Notepad) or an HTML editor like Frontpage or Dreamweaver to edit the page. You must know the HTML language in order to edit index.html.
