User publishing

User document directories in $HOME/public_html are enabled, provided a $HOME/.html file is present. In addition, if a $HOME/public_html file is present, a personal web page is offered, with a URL as given there. If a $HOME/.ftp file is present, personal ftp is offered, with a URL as given there. If a $HOME/.plan file is present, a link to the user's plan is offered, using the finger(C) utility.

To disable this feature, use the Netscape Administration Server. In addition, the default port 80 server home page includes a link to a user information page generated automatically by a CGI script. This script publishes information about users whose home directories contain any of these files:

.html

indicates that the user wants to publish their $HOME/public_html document directory through this user information page and accessible at:

http://ServerName/~username/

.ftp

causes a link to the user's personal ftp directory to be published and accessible at:

ftp://ServerName/pub/users/username/

.plan

causes a link to the user's personal plan to be published using finger
