start putty and enter as one of the vu servers in the hostname field: "galjas.few.vu.nl" or "keg.few.vu.nl"
login with your VU-net ID username and password
you are now in your homedirectory. Create a symbolic link to the design account using the following command:
ln -s /home/design11xx design11xx
(substitute xx with your group number)
this symbolic link now behaves as a folder in your homedirectory.
create a www folder in your group account folder to make your account accessible from the web:
cd design11xx
mkdir www
chmod 755 www
you can now view the contents of your ma09xx/www folder from a browser by navigating to www.few.vu.nl/~design11xx
you can add files to your ma group website using an ftp client (for example FileZilla, filezilla.sourceforge.net),
using the same server name you used in step 2 and using your VU-net ID as username/password.
if you get the error "you do not have permission to view this page" when viewing your group account with a browser,
you need to set the permissions of your files correctly (so they are accessible from the web) using the following command:
chmod -R 755 /home/design11xx/www
