How to Setup the Account?

1. For security reason, you are strongly recommended to change the account password for the first time.
   Use telnet to login with the Teaching Web Server, teaching.ust.hk, and on the command line, type:

   /ust/bin/passwd

   Type in the new password and re-enter again for verification.
2. When the account on the Teaching Web Server was created, the directory public_html will be created and the access right will be setup for other people to access the web page.
3. Then you can place your HTML documents under the public_html directory. The URL of your web page on the Teaching Web Server will be:
   
   http://teaching.ust.hk/~course_code/HTML_filename.

   e.g. http://teaching.ust.hk/~comp123/index.html

4. The Web server will look for the default file of the name index.html under your "~/public_html" directory. If the file index.html cannot be found, your directory listing of all the files under public_html will be shown. If you don't like to show the directory listing, you could make use of the filename index.html as your main web page filename.
