Using the Faculty/Staff Web Server

NOTE: You cannot create a web folder unless you have a Cortland e-mail account.

  • Create a web folder
    • Go to http://web.cortland.edu and click the "Create a Web Account" link.
    • Click "Create My Web Account"
    • Enter your username and password (same as your email), then click OK
    • Read the Terms of Service and press Continue
    • Make sure you see a confirmation screen stating "Web Folder Created Successfully"
  • Put pages in your web folder
    • Method 1 (can be used from anywhere)
      • Use any FTP program.
      • FTP to web.cortland.edu
      • Login with your current email username preceeded by cortland/. For example, if you check your email using watersb, you would use cortland/watersb
      • Use your email password.
      • You should connect to your website.
    • Method 2 (on-campus, faculty and staff PC's only)
      • Select Start, Run
      • Type in the location of your web folder. For example, if your folder is watersb, type \\web\watersb
  • Access your pages
    • Your URL to access your web pages is http://web.cortland.edu/ followed by your foldername and your home page. For example, if your foldername is watersb and your first web page is top.html, then the URL is http://web.cortland.edu/watersb/top.html
  • NOTES:
    • A page named index.htm is automatically created when you create your folder and is the page that opens by default when you access your URL without specifying a page. You may edit this page if desired.
    • If your first page is index.htm, then the URL would be http://web.cortland.edu/watersb
    • The automated index.htm file will have a disclaimer at the bottom that says "The views and opinions expressed in this page are strictly those of the page author. The contents of this linked page have not been reviewed or approved by SUNY Cortland."
