Web Hosting

The University offers web hosting for students and sessional Faculty.  Hosting files for this service is limited to 50MB.

Web host is for academic use only. Typically students will publish a portfolio of their ongoing work, or will be asked to publish their final project as part of a design studio. Just like your home directory, your published web pages and stored files in your web hosting directory are subject to the Appropriate-Use-of-Information policies set out by the University at: http://www.provost.utoronto.ca/English/Appropriate-Use-of-Information-and-Communication-Technology.html

Individuals hosting web pages on the University’s web server are subject to the following conditions:

1. Copyrighted material may not be published on your website. This includes scanned photos from a book or magazine, copyrighted music and videos.

2. Your website is not for commercial use of any kind – selling any products, publishing advertisements from another website, or commercial profit.

For faculty members, we offer space on our web server for teaching and research projects. To access your web space you will need to go to the 'root' of the file systems, where you will see a folder called 'Faculty.' This directory is accessible directly if you are logged onto an Daniels computer and use the path \\ald.utoronto.ca\Root\Faculty.

You can also access this directory via FTP ftp://files.daniels.utoronto.ca/. You will then need to browse to the directory called 'Faculty.' At this point you will see a directory with your user login name. In this directory are two folders, named Personal and Webfolder. Any content you put in the Webfolder is published live to the the web server. Simply place an index file and start building content. The address will be in the form of: http://www.daniels.utoronto.ca/faculty/username/index.htm. You will place your username where it says username above.
