Where should I put files on the Library Web Server?
Personal pages should be located in your \home directory. Pages that are to be indexed by the server's Search Engine should be located in \usr\web. If you need a directory created in \usr\web, contact Web, Workstation & Digital Consulting Services.

Are there restrictions on what you can load on the server?
Space is always a concern on the Library Web Server. If you are loading pages/images that total more than 10MB, contact WW&DCS first to make sure there is enough room available.

Large numbers of personal photos, movies or music should not be loaded on the Library Web Server. Remember that all staff with netids can create websites on the Pantheon.

See Publishing Web Pages at Yale for more information about creating sites on the Pantheon.
