Many student organizations at 鶹Ƶ choose to maintain a website on the gustavus.edu domain.

Obtaining access

If you would like to have access to create or edit your organization's website, your advisor must send an e-mail to web@gustavus.edu stating that you have permission to edit the website. After this e-mail has been received, Web Services will provide you with the access you need to create and edit your organization's website.

Linking to your website

鶹Ƶ maintains a public who have completed each year. Your organization's name in the list will automatically link to your website as long as you specified one in the recognition process. You can also add this information later by .

Keep in mind you're free to host your organization's website on a 3rd party host (such as ), but if you wish to create a new website to be hosted on the gustavus.edu domain (http://gustavus.edu/orgs/yourorganization), you must contact Web Services to find out what your exact URL will be.

Editing your website

While you may use any software you are comfortable with to maintain your organization's website (e.g. Adobe Dreamweaver, TextMate, Emacs, etc.), we only support Adobe Contribute at this time. If you choose to not use Contribute, you will need to use a program that is capable of connecting to our server using the Secure FTP (SFTP) protocol (e.g. WinSCP or FileZilla).

These are the details you will need to connect to your organization's website:

Connection type Secure FTP (SFTP)
Host orgs.gustavus.edu
Username Your 鶹Ƶ username
Password Your 鶹Ƶ password
Remote directory /cis/www/orgs/yourorganization/
URL http://orgs.gustavus.edu/yourorganization/
