Personal homepage
Read this blog for an alternative solution to create a personal homepage with corporate design. If you want instead a personal homepage with “full control”, read below.
General information
The URL (address) of your homepage is/will be the following:
https://people.math.ethz.ch/~username
The main file that you need has to be called index.html
. You will probably have some more files like images, CSS-files, PDF-files, etc. You have to put all these files in your www
-folder on the server.
An example of an index.html
file is the following:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>Title of the document</title> </head> <body> Content of the document. </body> </html>
Accessing the www
-folder
You can find the www
-folder in you home.
On a desktop computer of the department, the www
-folder is usually located in you home folder and is called www.
On all other computer (even on private one and from home) you can access the www
-folder via SFTP. More information can be read here:
