Telnet:
Begin by opening Telnet and connecting to Eden (you can do this simply by selecting "Run" from the "Start" menu and entering in:

telnet eden.rutgers.edu

... and hitting "enter." You will be asked to enter in your Eden name and password (hit "enter" after each).

To create your "public_html" directory, enter in the following exactly as it is written (you will get no confirmation that anything has happened after entering these; that is normal):

mkdir public_html
chmod a+rx public_html

What you will now have done is first created your "public_html" directory, and then have set the permissions on it. You, the owner, are able to read, write, and execute from this folder (this includes renaming and deleting it entirely). Anonymous visitors (for example, anyone you simply give your URL to) may only read and execute data from this folder; they may not make any changes or alterations to it.

You can check the properties of your folder within Telnet by entering in the following exactly as written:

ls -ld public_html

It should return to you that the permissions are set to:

drwxr-xr-x

If it does not, re-enter the command: chmod a+rx public_html

You are now free to use "public_html" directory as your main folder within your Eden storage space. Any files within "public_html" can be access at the following URL, where "username" is your Eden login:

http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~username
