We provide a number of services for wuzzle.org users. We offer shell accounts, webspace, photo albums, and web based email.
Shell Accounts
Being a shell user myself, I prefer this method of dealing with the system. We have pine and mutt email clients. Joe and Vim editors, and pretty much all the normal unix stuff. To access the system, you'll need a terminal emulator that can handle ssh, since I don't allow telnet connections. My program of choice is PuTTY. It's free, small, and full featured.
Web Space
Every user on wuzzle has their own webspace, accessed by "http://wuzzle.org/username" (which redirects to http://wuzzle.org/~username). To use this webspace, you just drop the files you want to publish into /home/username/www and they'll be immediately accessable. I recommend using WinSCP for this. We have PHP and Perl available, and users are allowed to run CGI scripts.
Photo Albums
Any pictures a user wants to publish can be dropped into /home/username/www/albums. All files and directories under that tree will automatically be accessable as http://wuzzle.org/photos/index/username. You can modify the stylesheet by dropping a style.css file into your albums dir. Check out /home/www/phpix2/albums/style.css for an example.
WebMail
We have Webmail available. It's squirrel mail, and I try to keep it fairly updated. You may get a certificate warning. That's because I got my certificate signed by CACert, a free Certificate Authority. I'd suggest going to their site and installing their root certificate. It's a good way of thumbing your nose at places like Verisign and Thawte that charge hundreds of dollars a year for "being trustworthy". It's like printing your own money. |
