Your UNHINFO account allows for access to your webpages hosted on UNHINFO server via Secure FTP. You will have to use FTP client software to transfer your files to the UNHINFO Web Server. Instructions for configuring your FTP Client Software can be found below:
- FileZilla (Mac and PC)
- Dreamweaver (Mac and PC)
- Fetch (Mac)
You will need to use your UNH Blackboard username and password to access this account.
You will be placed in your organization's home directory automatically when you log in. If you manage multiple sites with your UNHINFO account please refer to the Managing Multiple Websites section for instructions on configuring your FTP Client.
All UNHINFO account holds are automatically subscribed to the Web Weavers mailing list. This mailing list is used for keeping user informed on changes and/or problems with the UNHINFO server, as well as to foster discussion on issues related to Web authoring at UNH.
Helpful Hints
- If you wish to change your UNHINFO password, you may do so online at http://it.unh.edu/loginhelp
- When creating a new site your primary home page file MUST be called "index.html".
- If you are taking over the maintenance of an existing site it is recommended that you connect to the UNHINFO Web server and copy the contents of the entire site (using FTP) to the computer you will be using. Make changes to the files on your own computer, view them locally to make sure they display correctly, and then copy them back (using FTP) to the UNHINFO Web server.
- Remember to keep backups of your files. When you upload an updated file, it will immediately replace an existing file of the same name. If there are mistakes or errors, you will need to use your own backups to restore your files to previous versions if necessary.
Managing Multiple Websites
User's who have access to multiple websites will automatically be placed in the home directory for one of their sites (usually the first site they applied for). To access any additional sites they will need to configure their FTP Client and manually set the path or home directory. You will receive the path information when you first apply for an account. If you are unsure of the path please email unhinfo.help@unh.edu or call the UNH IT Service Desk at 862-4242.
