Publishing A Web Page

How to Upload to Icarus Server

Before you can upload to the Icarus web server, you first need to download a FTP program. The program I chose to use is PuTTy. You can download from the Internet by searching for it. It is important to know when you are on campus, you must be connected to eduroam (not Weber Guest) WiFi to connect to Icarus. If you are at home or not on campus, you need to connect to Weber's network through AnyConnect VPN.

Once PuTTy has been downloaded, you need to open the program and input the Host Name, or an IP address. Here is a photo with the Host Name entered.

Next, click open to open up the command prompt. As of right now, I am unable to access the Icarus server and occasionally getting fatal error messages when I try to sign in. But the command prompt in Icarus should show login as: (your username here).

Login Information

Your username is your first and last initials and the last five digits of your W number.

Your password is composed of three parts

1. Your first and last initials.
2. Your first five digits of your W number.
3. The lowest numbered course in WEB/CS/NET that you are taking this semester.

Uploading Files to Icarus

After you login, you should see a public_html folder in the command prompt. Next, you need to download either WinSCP or Cyberduck to upload files. I'm using Cyberduck, once downloaded, open the program and click Open Connection and change from FTP to SFTP in the dropdown menu. Icarus does not allow for FTP.

• Input Icarus's server information and your login information again and click connect. Once you login, click the three dots with the black lines, or Browser right under the Open Connection button. You should see a public_html file.
• In a new folders window, find what files or folders you would like to add, drag them over into the public_html folder to upload.
• Next go to to https://icarus.cs.weber.edu/~(your username) on the Internet.

This is mine as of last Spring. I used Icarus for WEB 1430, so that's my only public folder currently.

Composing the URL

The URL is composed as https://HOSTNAME/~USERNAME/PATH/FILENAME In my case, the URL for this course (once I can upload) would be https://icarus.cs.weber.edu/~sb36126/CS 2350
