Set Up Your Personal Web Space

How to activate your Bowdoin personal web space by running the websetup command over SSH — with steps for Windows (PuTTY) and macOS (Terminal) connecting to shell.bowdoin.edu — which creates a public_html folder and a starter index.html reachable at tildesites.bowdoin.edu/~username. Notes that PHP is off by default and that IT does not support building pages. Applies to all Bowdoin faculty, staff, and students.
