Placing Your Files on a Web Server
Eventually you will have to place your web site onto a web server so they can be viewed by the
public. Here at Cal Poly, all faculty, staff and students are given web space within their Unix
account. The name of the machine that houses the files is polylog1.calpoly.edu In order for
your account to be able to display web pages, certain changes must first be made on that
machine.
DOWNLOADING SOFTWARE TO UPLOAD WEB PAGES TO UNIX SERVER
1. Open your web browser and go to the following URL:
2. Login to the Cal Poly Portal using your Cal Poly Username (Username is your email alias
without the "@calpoly.edu") and Password (i.e., YOUR UNIX password).
3. Click on the Technology tab in the portal. If you don’t already have the Cal Poly
Software Channel on your Cal Poly Portal page, click on the Subscribe link at the top
right-corner.
4. Under Applications, click on “plus” sign next to the Cal Poly Software Channel.
5. Arrange the channels location on the page where you wish for it to be located and then
click on the Finished button.
6. Return to the Cal Poly Portal page, click on the Technology tab again and find the Cal
Poly Software Channel you just added and click on either the link for Windows
software or the link for Mac software.
7. PC (Windows) users can use the Run command from the Start menu of their computers
and skip this download software step (available in older versions of Windows) or will
need to find the QVT/Term software and click on the Download link below it in order
to download the software. Mac users will need to find the Better Telnet (OS 9) software
and click on the Download link below it in order to download the software. (Note: For
more information about the software or to get installation instructions, click on the link
connected to the NAME of the software.)
8. After you have installed the proper software, follow the instructions given below to login
to polylog1.calpoly.edu. (NOTE: THERE ARE DIFFERENT INSTRUCTIONS BELOW
DEPENDING UPON WHETHER YOU ARE A WINDOWS USER USING THE “RUN”
COMMAND, A WINDOWS USER USING QVT/TERM, OR A MAC USER USING BETTER
TELNET.)
GETTING YOUR ACCOUNT READY USING TELNET (WINDOWS) OR BETTER
TELNET (MAC):
Your Cal Poly account must have a directory in it called public_html. All your web pages must
go into this directory. IT IS THE ONLY DIRECTORY THAT WEB BROWSERS ARE ALLOWED TO
ACCESS… and for good reason: Your mail is also stored in that account and sharing it with the
world could lead to some dire consequences.
