Web Hosting

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

DISCLAIMER: This site hosting is for SCiL/Class purposes only and users who fall under this criteria are given access. Hosting is not accessible outside of campus. Finally, always backup your work, keep local copies, and understand SCiL resources are routinely wiped. For questions or special needs, please reach out to Wes wbrown1@su.edu.

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 open up the Terminal app for macOS OR the Console app for Windows and enter the following:

ssh [su_login]@10.72.1.140
Enter current password

If you are a Windows user and are having trouble with the Console app, I HIGHLY recommend downloading Git-For-Windows which comes with a Unix-like program app called bash. Download the 64-bit Installer here.

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 below 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
For Windows users: https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?platform=win64

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.
