Using the Classes Directory


  1. Move your files to the appropriate place for your course which is:
    /usr/www/htdocs/classes/math/yearquarter/course#.lecture#.yearquarter/

    For example, the directory for Math 32A, Lecture 2 for Fall 2000 is:

    /usr/www/htdocs/classes/math/00f/32a.2.00f/

  2. Instructors and TAs for the course will have permissions for this directory. If you place files in the directory, be sure to set the permissions for the files properly so that they are publicly readable. To do this you use the chmod command. If you give your files permissions of 664, your TAs will also be able to write to them. For example:
    myhost.1>chmod 664 filename
    If you want the permissions set so that only the instructor has permission to write to the file, not TAs, give the files 644 permissions. For example:
    myhost.1>chmod 644 filename
  3. The file named "default.html" is an automatically generated page and cannot be changed by you.

  4. If you need assistance setting up the links for these files once you place them in the classes directory, e-mail webmaster <webmaster@math.ucla.edu> with your request.

  5. If you would like to create an alias to change directories to this class directory (so that you don't have to type the whole path each time), see alias.
