Remote Site

You will need a WHOI website account on the WHOI server in order to publish the files from your local site to the Internet (remote site). If you don't have a WHOI web account, fill out a website request form or contact the WHOI webmaster.

For this class, a temporary account has been set up for each PC/Mac in the GTF. Your username and password will be assigned in class. The url for your class website will be http://www.whoi.edu/services/training/userNN/ where NN is the number assigned to your GTF station. For example, the url for the instructor's website is:
http://www.whoi.edu/services/training/user00/
