Every user of the Garching MLL Computing Cluster gets a private homepage accessible via the URL:

http://www.physik.uni-muenchen.de/~username

To load the content the following methods are available:

• The WWW interface Usermin

  URL: https://homepages.physik.uni-muenchen.de

  Note the https

  Login is possible only with your Campus Account. The interface provides a browser to upload files.
  Under the menu Applications the item Protect Web Directories can be used to allow user/password control of the access to a directory.

• Using plain ftp

  ftp homepages.physik.uni-muenchen.de
  Connected to homepages.physik.uni-muenchen.de.
  220 ProFTPD 1.2.7 Server (homepages.physik.uni-muenchen.de)
  [homepages.physik.uni-muenchen.de]
  Name (homepages.physik.uni-muenchen.de:username):username
  331 Password required for username.
  Use commands like:

  "ls"              to list files
  "put filename"    to copy files to the web location
  "get filename"    to copy files from the web location
  

• A more comfortable access using ncftp:

  ncftp -u $USER homepages.physik.uni-muenchen.de
  
  

  In this way one gets many goodies like Tab command completion, "more" "cat".
  The ls command produces output as from the shell with marking of the file type.

• Using KDEs: konqueror

  konqueror ftp://$USER@homepages.physik.uni-muenchen.de

  konqueror normally is on the Desktop under this icon:

• Another tool with a GUI: gftp

  gftp $USER@homepages.physik.uni-muenchen.de

  You will be prompted for your passwd. If you want to go directly into a subdirectory you may use:

  gftp $USER@homepages.physik.uni-muenchen.de/subdir
  

  Even more convenient:

  We advice to make in your home directory a subdirectory e.g. myweb. In this subdirectory you keep your html-files including additional subdirectories to any level.
  In your $HOME/.bash_profile you put the following command:

  alias tomyweb="gftp user@homepages.physik.uni-muenchen.de\
\`pwd | sed 's./home/group/user/myweb..'\`"
  Replace "user" "group" by your data.

  If you then type tomyweb you will be automatically in the same subdirectory on the webserver as you are in your Unix directory relativ to your myweb - directory.

Notes:

• These hints apply to any webpage as e.g.:

  www.physik.uni-muenchen.de/kurs/PXXIV

• For technical reasons no ssl access is possible
