OK, if you have read this far, you probably have an account at spunge.org. This page is for you. I will attempt to explain what thingys are at spunge.org as well as briefly explain how to use them. You can always ask me for help if you need it,

* Telnet to shell.spunge.org
* Figure out if you want to forward and keep a copy on spunge.org, or
just forward it all
* To forward and keep a copy on spunge.org, type the following as I
have it here:
cat>.forward \username, your@other.email.address [control-d]NOTE: replace username with the username at spunge.org. Also replace your@other.email.address with the email address wher eyou want email forwarded to. Finally, replace [control-d] with the key combination control-d
cat>.forward your@other.email.address [control-d]NOTE: Replace your@other.email.address with the email address wher eyou want email forwarded to. Finally, replace [control-d] with the key combination control-d
* Send a test message to your spunge.org account, and see if it gets forwarded to where you wanted it to. If you have problems, let me know.
Disk quotas for user joeblow (uid 999):
Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace
/dev/hda5 5670* 5000 10000 6days 406 0 0
| Line #2 | Line #3 | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| FileSystem | /dev/hda5 | This is deals with what partitions I have quotas set for you. /dev/hda5 just happens to be /home, where your home directories are. |
| blocks | 5670* | This is the number of blocks of block in bytes K that you are using. The "*" after this number, means you are over your quota. |
| quota | 5000 | This is your soft quota. In this example, this person has 5000, 1 K blocks (i.e. 5 meg) of soft quota |
| limit | 10000 | This is the hard limit. In this case, the person has 10 Meg. |
| grace | 6days | If you are over your soft quota, this is the amount of time you have left, to get below the soft quota, before the soft quota acts like a hard quota.
To delete files, you will need to use the rm command, or you can use FTP and delete them. Once the files are deleted, there is no getting them back. Please be careful.
To delete files, you can do the following. Pretend the listing below are files in your directory
EXAMPLE:
filename1
filename2
Filename3
directory1
directory2
filename4
Lets say you wanted to delete the file filename1. You would type:
rm filename1
Not too hard, is it? If you wanted to delete filename1 and Filename3, you would do:
rm filename1 Filename3
NOTE: the capitalization matters.
now, what if you wanted to delete directory1. directory1 is an empty directory. You would do this:
rmdir directory1
But what if you wanted to delete directory2, but it has things in. You can do this following:
cd directory2
rm -R *
cd ..
rmdir directory2
The -R will delete everything in the current directory, and all directories under it.
* Telnet to shell.spunge.org
* type "mkdir public_html" (without the quotes)
That really is all there is to it. If you would go to http://www.spunge.org/~your-username you would get your web page. Well, kind of. You would get a directory listing, of which there is nothing there. This is because you don't have the file index.html in that directory. The web server looks for the file index.html as teh defualt page to load. If this file isn't there, it will just give a directory listing of whatever is there.
As a little security measure you will proabbyl want to put an index.html file in all directories under the public_html directory. If you don't people will be able to go in there and look at the scripts you are using, and grab the pictures you have in there.
The one thing I ask, is that you define the df in the following manner:
* the df=file.name should be defined, so that there are at least 2
parts to it. The first part, is your username. This is followed by a
period, and then something so you can tell your web pages apart.
* EXAMPLE:
Say your username is joebob, and you have two web pages you
want different web counters on. you would defind the df=
like this.
df=joebob.friends <---for the one page you want a counter on
df=joebob.index <---for the other page you want a counter on
As always, if you have problems, or are confused, email me.
