<body>
<p>In case your username is not elm, replace elm in the following code
with your username.</p>
<h2> Step 1: ssh into Athena </h2>
<p>Open a terminal window, and type:</p>
<pre>ssh [email protected] </pre>
<p>Enter your password when prompted.</p>
<h2> Step 2: find path to your www folder </h2>
<p>In the terminal window where you sshed into athena, type:</p>
<pre>cd www </pre>
<pre>pwd </pre>
<p>Copy the filepath you see -- this is where you'll put the contents
of the website. For me it was: </p>
<pre>/afs/athena.mit.edu/user/e/l/elm/www</pre>
<h2> Step 3: copy content to the your www folder </h2>
<p>Navigate out of ssh by opening another terminal or typing:</p>
<pre>exit</pre>
<h2> Step 1: copy content to your www folder </h2>
<p>Let's say the file you want to add to www is called index.html, and
is in your Downloads folder, and your username is elm. Then type:</p>
<pre>scp ~/Downloads/index.html [email protected]:/afs/athena.mit.edu/user/e/l/elm/www/index.html</pre>
<h2> Step 4: check that it worked </h2>
<pre>scp ~/Downloads/index.html [email protected]:~/www/index.html</pre>
<h2> Step 2: check that it worked </h2>
You can access your website (assuming username is elm) at: <a href = http://web.mit.edu/elm/www/> http://web.mit.edu/elm/www/</a>
