MySite is an environment that provides web hosting service independent of the tools used to
create web content. MySite users have their choice of web editing software to create web
content, including simple text editors, Microsoft Word, or fully featured web page design
applications like Dreamweaver (available in the public labs).
Many web design and development applications allow you to configure and save connection
information for your web server. Because of the number and variety of these products, it is
impossible to provide specific instructions for every application. Most products require
configuration of a remote site in order to upload web content.
Site configuration information
The following values are typically required for remote site configuration:
| For... |
Use... |
| Site http Address |
http://your-NetID.mysite.syr.edu/ |
| Access Method/Protocol |
WebDAV |
| Administrative URL |
https://your-NetID.mysite.syr.edu/admin |
| WebDAV Login |
Your NetID |
| WebDAV password |
Your NetID password |
HTTPS requirement
The https protocol must be used when loading pages.
Home Page naming
For security reasons, directory browsing is disabled on the MySite. As a result, every folder created on your MySite space must contain a default or index document for the website to be viewable.
The acceptable default Home Page names are as follows:
- default.htm
- default.asp
- index.htm
- index.html
- default.aspx
Additional MySite features
- server side includes
- support for asp and .NET
- redirection to another site
