After setting up an ODIN account (http://www.account.pdx.edu), you will have 50 MegaBytes of storage space for using mail, web pages, etc.
If your account was created after September 1999 then your account is all ready for web access. Skip the next step.

If your account was created before September 1999 then you may have to log in to ODIN through Telnet or SSH and run the command "enable-web".

If you need to run the enable-web command, log in to ODIN and at the "Network Access Menu" chooseoption 7. This will put you at the UNIX command prompt. You can then just type the command enable-web as follows:

johns:~/:82 > enable-web
Web has been enabled.
drwxrwxr-x 39 johns johns 5120 Dec 22 11:40 /home/johns
drwxrwxr-x 14 johns johns 1536 Dec 21 10:17 /home/johns/public_html

The example shows the output of what you would see if your PSU login ID was "johns".
Once you are sure that your ODIN account is Web ready, you can store your web pages in the "public_html" folder of your ODIN account. There are several ways to transfer your web pages to ODIN.:
1. FTP (Using almost any FTP client, eg. WSFTP for Windows, Fetch for Macintosh)
2. Most Web Page Editors (eg. Netscape Composer, FrontPage, Pagemill, etc.)
  
  See instructions for Netscape Composer and instructions for FrontPage
  
  For other web page editors make sure you use FTP as the transfer method and use "odin.pdx.edu/home/YOURLOGIN/public_html" as the location to publish to.
3. UNIX command prompt with text editor (This is for the UNIX user. Just remember to put files in your public_html folder).
You will want to name your MAIN web page index.html. The web page with the name index.html will be the default web page that people will see when visiting your web site "http://web.pdx.edu/~loginname".

You should now be able to publish web pages to ODIN. Your web page will show up at http://web.pdx.edu/~loginname, where "loginname" is your PSU login ID.
