WEB SITES
Each student should have a "www" directory. This is for posting web pages. This subdirectory is viewable on the internet by the URL:
http://student.ad.umuc.edu/~username
Any files placed in this directory will need to have read access set to "o" inorder for
everyone to access these files.
This can be changed using the unix "chmod" command. i.e. chmod o+r filename.html
Assignments and private data should not be placed in the user "www" directory.
FormMail.cgi
This cgi has been installed for your convenience. You may call the URL from
your web pages in order to send form data via email.
