You can publish homepages describing your academic/research/ teaching activities on this server. Other services on this server include the provision of commonly used CGI (common gateway interface) programs such as access counter and guestbook, and the publication of 'Web-ready' audio or video clips using RealServer. Your account information is as follows: Computing ID: same as Mailserv, e.g. s980000 Password: same as Mailserv Disk space: 15MB URL: http://ihome.cuhk.edu.hk/~your_computing_id (e.g. http://ihome.cuhk.edu.hk/~s980000) Being an iHome user, you automatically have to abide by University policies and guidelines as specified in documents GEN002: Computer Network Policies and Guidelines on Access and Usage, and guidelines on Personal Homepage. These documents can be read online ( http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/csc/learning/ihome/) . For better performance and greater server stability, a 'web-only' environment has been implemented on iHome. You, therefore, need to use an FTP program such as WS_FTP to publish/transfer your webpages from the local hard drive to the server. Please visit http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/csc/learning/ihome/ f or more information about iHome. Related details can also be found on the current issue of the CSC/ITSU Digest (http:// www.cuhk.edu.hk/csc/digest ).
