pages.uoregon.edu

pages.uoregon.edu is an https web server, which provides web page hosting for students, staff, and faculty. See [Web hosting on pages.uoregon.edu].

Note (from the UO Service Portal): “Pages websites are only available to currently-enrolled students. A student’s Pages website will be removed as a part of the decommissioning of a student’s DuckID when they graduate. The Pages content will be available for 75 days after graduation.”

Copying files to the server

Individual users have 50 GB of web space, with files and folders stored in the /public_html folder in the user’s space. There are multiple ways to copy files, but FileZilla is pretty easy. To copy files via FileZilla, create a new Site Manager entry (see the [File transfer] topic), with the following on the General tab:

• New site name: sftp.uoregon.edu (or some other name, e.g. UO pages
• Protocol: SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol
• Host: sftp.oregon.edu
• Logon Type: Normal
• User: your DuckID user name (not your email address, e.g. bartlein as opposed to bartlein@uoregon.edu
• Password: your DuckID password.

Note that while the web pages will have URLs like https://pages.uoregon.edu/DuckID/geog490project/ the server name is sftp.uoregon.edu

To copy, for example, the “Example 5” multi-page website files to pages.uoregon.edu, where the various source files are in the folder /Users/username/Projects/geog490project/, start FileZilla, and :

• browse to the /doc folder in the /geog490project folder on your computer (usually on the left-hand side of FileZilla);
• connect to sftp.uoregon.edu which usually appears on the right-hand side of FileZilla;
• on the sftp.uoregon.edu side, browse to /public_html
• right-click in the file list in /public_html and click on Create directory;
• change the name from New directory to, for example, geog490project, and click on OK;
• click on the new folder/directory geog490project; and then
• copy the contents of the left-hand /doc folder on your machine to geog490project on sftp.uoregon.edu (select the files in the source window, right-click, and click on Upload.

(Note: you may see error messages, as directories on sftp.uoregon.edu are not found, but then created.)

Browsing the web pages

The uploaded web site can then be browsed using the following URL:

• [https://pages.uoregon.edu/DuckID/geog490project/]
• here’s an example: [https://pages.uoregon.edu/bartlein/geog490project/]

(Similarly, any one of the single-page *.html files produced by the R Markdown, or R Markdown Notebook examples could be renamed to index.html copied to a folder in the public_html folder on pages.uoregon.edu as above, where it could be viewed by browsing to [https://pages.uoregon.edu/DuckID/geog490project/].

Or, the original name of the file could be retained (e.g. alpha_plot_RNotebook.html) in which case the URL would become [https://pages.uoregon.edu/DuckID/geog490project/alpha_plot_RNotebook.html].
