The W:/ Drive in the OIT Computing Labs is your Personal Web Space

Back to Web Publishing Main Page

As a UMBC student, faculty or staff member, you can create your own home page on the UMBC Web server. Be creative and have fun, but keep in mind that some rules do apply. For example, the OIT prohibits using your web page to run a business or for monetary gain. However, activities such as resume preparation are encouraged. 

Web page creation is quite simple in the OIT Computing labs at UMBC. Here's how to get started:

First find the W: drive:

  1. Login to an OIT computing lab computer
  2. Double-click My Computer on the desktop.  Double-click the W: drive

The W: drive is actually your public www folder in your myUMBC account space (S: drive). When files are saved in the www folder, they become viewable over the Internet.
