Every student has a "home" directory on the Earlham file
server called "PAX"
This 'home' directory or folder is mapped to a drive letter H:
Within the home directory (H:) is a folder called www where
your web site pages reside.
This is where the "web server" looks when is displays a web
page in Internet Explorer.
"H:\www" is mapped to "~your username"
by the web server.
So "H:\www" for Kristin Keyes (username, 'keyeskr') becomes
"http://www.earlham.edu/~keyeskr"
a file saved as 'index.htm' is the 'home' page for the folder it's
located in.
So the 'h:\www\index.htm' for Kristin Keyes (username, 'keyeskr') is
displayed by "http://www.earlham.edu/~keyeskr"
Folders within "h:\www" are also part of the picture.
But the back-slash "\" in the path gets switched to
a forward-slash "/"
So "h:\www\cricket" for Kristin becomes "http://www.earlham.edu/~keyeskr/cricket"
and the page "cricket_beginners.htm" in this folder "h:\www\cricket\cricket_beginners.htm"
becomes "http://www.earlham.edu/~keyeskr/cricket/cricket_beginners.htm"
