OVERVIEW
This article explains how to get started with accessing your personal webspace.
ACCESSING PERSONAL WEBSPACE OFF-CAMPUS
To promote information security, you'll need to connect to SFU's secure networks to access your personal webspace remotely.
STUDENTS
You can access your personal webspace on computers in SFU computer labs. Once you've enrolled in MFA, you can connect to computer labs remotely and access your webspace from off-campus.
GRADUATE STUDENTS, FACULTY AND STAFF
You can access personal webspace by using SFU VPN. This also requires using MFA.
DETAILS
To upload/manage files in your personal web space you will first need a way to connect to our web server. This can be done using a file transfer application or a professional web publishing application. Your application will also need to be capable of making secure connections via SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) or SCP (Secure File Copy) / SSH (Secure Shell).
For students, the necessary applications are pre-installed on our computer lab machines.
If you do not have a professional web publishing application, we recommend using one of the free file transfer applications listed below:
Once you've downloaded and installed the appropriate application, see how to connect and publish your web content.
