If there is a period (.) and something else following your userid, you are still in a subdirectory. Try entering the CD \ command again. 2) Type SET FILE /PROT=(W) *.*;* 3) Type SET FILE /PROT=(W:E) [-]<userid>.DIR where <userid> is your userid without the <> bracket signs 4) Type SET FILE /PROT=(W:RE) WWW.DIR 5) Enter your WWW subdirectory by typing CD WWW 6) For each file you wish to make accessible to World Wide Web, type SET FILE /PROT=(W:RE) <filename.extension>;* where <filename.extension>;* is the actual name and extension of the file to which you wish to provide access. This part still holds: > The URL would look like this: > > http://miavx1.muohio.edu/~<userid>/<file.spec> > > where ~ is the actual tilde sign, <userid> is your userid on MiaVX1 *without* > the <> brackets, and <file.spec> is the actual name of the file in your WWW > subdirectory to wish you wish to link, again without the <> brackets.
