Making Your Own Website

Students, Faculty, and Staff can make their own pages on NewPaltz.edu!

There are three steps to creating a web page at SUNY New Paltz.

  1. Request a “Shell Account” on shell.newpaltz.edu, which is our server for personal web pages.
    What does that mean?

    All you need to do is this:

    • Login to your my.newpaltz.edu
    • Click the “Student Services” or “Faculty/Staff Services” tab
    • Click on Sign Up For Web Space, under the Computer Services Heading
    • Click Request Shell Account

  2. Create your web page with your favorite web editor.

    Any page on the New Paltz site should also follow guidlines which are posted here:
    New Paltz Web Guidelines

  3. To copy / upload your web site (HTML, images, PDFs or other files) to the webserver (shell.newpaltz.edu), use an FTP program such as WinSCP.
    How do I do that?
