Web Services for Students

Overview

We currently have two web servers dedicated for student use, StuWeb and StuDev. StuWeb is the live (accessible from outside Olin's network) web server. This server should be used to post any materials that you want accessible to outside constituents. The other Web server that we have available is StuDev. StuDev is the Student Web development server. You should use this server for web development and to stage your sites before deploying them to StuWeb.

Accessing Your Student Web Space Folder

Everyone has a personal folder on both servers. To access your space go to:

  • StuDev: From the Olin Campus Network or through VPN, go to \\studev\WEB\Students\yyyy\username (where yyyy is your graduation year) and then click on the folder with your username. You have full control of that folder.
  • StuWeb: From the Olin Campus Network or through VPN, go to \\stuweb\WEB\Students\yyyy\username (where yyyy is your graduation year) and then click on the folder with your username. You have full control of that folder.

Once you create a default home page (see below), your link on students.olin.edu will be activated (This may take several minutes). If you do not see your link or do not see a network folder, please send a request to helpdesk@olin.edu.
