Web Hosting

This page is still under construction!

To access your web site, visit http://10.72.1.140/~SU_LOGIN

For example, to test my hosting location it would be http://10.72.1.140/~wbrown1

Change your password

If you know you are going to be using web hosting for a class, a password would have been given to you. These passwords are NOT affiliated with SU systems! To change the password from your mac, open up a new terminal window and enter the following:

ssh [su_login]@10.72.1.140
Enter current password

If this is your first time using SSH, you may be greeted with an SSH request to enter yes/no. Enter yes.

You should now be logged into the server. To change your password, type in the following and follow the instructions:

passwd

You may now type exit and close the terminal

Access your site with an FTP client (such as FileZilla)

Download the client:

For macOS with Apple Silicon (default for most SU users): https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?platform=macos-arm64

For macOS with Intel: https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?platform=osx

Open the FileZilla app. We need to change a configuration first, since this is a basic hosting server. Open FileZilla/Settings in the task bar at the top. Select FTP for the page on the left. On the right, switch from Passive mode to Active mode. Then click OK.

Hostname: 10.72.1.140
Username: Your SU login
Password: Your password (listed above)
Port: 21

After a successful connection, you should see your directory in the remote site section (right side of app). Your website directory is under public_html.
