History-style list of commands for building your own web page, from Linux Intro (cut-and-paste everything after the $):

$ # this assumes that the MACS home dir is mounted as home_dir/
$ cd home_dir
$ mkdir public_html

$ pushd ~
$ # create a local dir for template files 
$ mkdir public
$ cd public
$ mkdir LinuxIntro
$ cd LinuxIntro

$ # copy template files from jove
$ scp -q -r `whoami`@jove.macs.hw.ac.uk:/home/msc/public/LinuxIntro/www .
$ popd

$ cd ~
$ # go into the directory containing your web page
$ cd home_dir/public_html
$ # copy the template files for your web page: main page (HTML), stylesheets (CSS) and images
$ cp ~/public/LinuxIntro/www/samples/redandgreen/index.html .
$ cp ~/public/LinuxIntro/www/samples/redandgreen/style.css .
$ cp -r ~/public/LinuxIntro/www/samples/redandgreen/images .

$ # make the files accessible to the web server
$ chmod a+r index.html 
$ chmod go-w index.html

$ # view the web page (see alternatives below)
$ firefox http://www2.macs.hw.ac.uk/~`whoami`

$ # now you should see a web page that looks like this: https://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~hwloidl/Courses/LinuxIntro/Screenshot_RedGreenWeb.png
