DS003 - Posting User Home Page to IOHK Web Server 

Each IOHK user is entitled to 1 MB free storage space on IOHK Web 
Server for posting user home page.  Content of the home page should 
be confined to personal interest only and must not contain any 
commercial or advertising material.  It must not include material 
which either violates the law or infringes any copyright.  Users 
are reminded that they will be held personally responsible and 
legally liable for the contents of the home pages.  Furthermore, 
IOHK reserves the right to remove any content of the home page and 
disable user access to the Web Server without prior notice.

Designing Your Home Page
- Write and test the html files on your PC before upload them to 
  the Server
- "Welcome.html" is the default startup file so rename your startup 
  web page with this name
- To understand more about html, visit the web site

Uploading Files To IOHK Main Server
- Use a terminal program to login to IOHK UNIX Shell
- Upload files (.html, .jpg, .gif) to your home directory on the 
  Main Server

Transferring Files To IOHK Web Server
- Use ftp to transfer files from your home directory to the Web Server

  bash$ ftp www.iohk.com
  Connected to octopus.iohk.com

An Alternate Way - Uploading Files Directly To IOHK Web Server
- Instead of uploading files to the Main Server before transferring
  them to the Web Server.  An alternate and easier way is to upload 
  files directly to the Web Server.  In this case, you need a ftp 
  program, likes "WS_FTP".  However, IOHK Web Server does not allow 
  anonymous login.  So you must use your login id and password to 
  ftp to IOHK Web Server.
