UIS Faculty and Staff Websites

Any employee can request a space on the people.uis.edu web server by calling the Technology Support Center at [217] 206-TECH, 206-6000 or by sending an email from your UIS mail account. Each site has 50 megabytes of space and Front Page extensions. An employee's NetID is used for the URL [web address] for that individual's web site.

[e.g. Harold Tarragon's netid is htarr1 so his web address is http://people.uis.edu/htarr1].

Please review the UIS Campus Web Policy for information pertaining to procedures and guidelines for web publishing.

For department and academic program website creation, please refer to The UIS Website Project, Office of Web Services.

NOTE: In accordance with the Campus Web Policy (http://www.uis.edu/webpolicy), all official department Web site files must reside on the official UIS Web server. These files may not reside in personal Web accounts, eDocs accounts, or on off-campus servers.

 

NOTE FOR FACULTY:
For those instructors whose students will need to have a student website to fulfill their class requirements, please submit your class roster to techsupport@uis.edu or contact your students and have them submit a request via one of the methods above.

The address of a student's site is the student's NetID.
[ex: http://students.uis.edu/htarr01s].

 

Updating Faculty and Staff Web Sites

Option 1: Copy or save pages

1. Map a drive to your personal hidden directory share.
   
   An individual's hidden share name is \\uis15\[your netid]$. [ex.\\uis11\htarr1$]
   
   Right click on the Network Neighborhood or Network Places icon on your desktop and click on Map Network Drive
   
   Or NT/2000 users left click on Start button -> Programs -> Windows Explorer -> Tools-> Map Network Drive
   XP user's left click Start button -> right My Computer ->left click Map Network Drive
   
   In the Path or Folder field type \\uis15\[your netid]$
   
   If you want to automatically map to your web directory every time you logon [to save you from repeating these steps], click the Reconnect at Logon box.
   
   [In Windows NT/2000/XP, if you are signed on as the owner of the web directory [yourself], you can leave the Connect As field blank. If you are not signed on as the department site's designated web updater, enter the NetId that has permission in the Connect As field. It will prompt you for the password. In Windows 95/98 you have to be signed onto the computer as the owner of the web directory.]
   
   
2. Copy or Save web pages to the drive that you mapped to.

Option 2: FTP

1. Open or connect [depending on what ftp client you are using] to people.uis.edu.
2. Enter as the User the account that has permission to update the site. [UIS NetID in the form uisad\netid and password is netid password].
3. Enter as the remote directory the name of the department site. You will automatically be in your web directory and can put or transfer files there.
