Obtaining Web Space And Services

At this time we are able to offer two kinds of Web space for our users

Personal Web Space

Personal Web space is available to all by creating a subdirectory in your home directory as follows,

mkdir public_html

Any file placed in this subdirectory will be visible from the Web via either of the following URLs, (Web addresses)

http://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/~USER

http://www.martinos.org/~USER

Where USER is your Center UNIX/linux username. This space is under your home directory and is subject to disk quotas. Web files in this personal area are generally expected to be related to you specifically. We have specific rules preventing fetching of music files from personal spaces.

Departmental (Group or Lab) Space

Departmental Web space may be obtained by sending an e-mail request to help@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu stating that you are requesting departmental Web space. Further information will be supplied with via e-mail. Departmental Web space is generally expected to deal with departments, labs, conferences, classes, etc. -in other words things dealing with a whole group or service. There is currently no disk quota on this space however this may change if space is abused.
