How to access organization.rice.edu to update your ruf.rice.edu webpage.
WARNING: organization.rice.edu is a legacy server. The old ruf.rice.edu web pages are deprecated. DO NOT continue to point to web pages at ruf.rice.edu. DO NOT continue to update web pages here.
Because the old server, kennel.rice.edu, has been decommissioned, a new server now handles hosting legacy, organization web pages. To access the new server, organization.rice.edu, a few changes may be necessary to your current setup.
The Nomenclature
The new server is called organization.rice.edu, but "ftp.ruf.rice.edu" and "organization.rice.edu" point to the same server, the new one. However, the way paths are dictated for organization.rice.edu is different from kennel.rice.edu, so old pathways will likely not work. Correcting the path name to your remote directory is necessary to get access to organization.rice.edu.
For FileZilla, Dreamweaver, and a Linux Shell, no remote directory need be named, because they will go to the home directory of the account automatically at login.
For access to an organizational web page, you will need to first have
- a ruf unix account for your personal NetID. Log a ticket to request one if you do not already have one. (see mynetid.rice.edu )
- your NetID was added to the Group for the organization account, on organization.rice.edu Again, log a ticket with that request )
For access to an organizational web page; but logging in with your personal NetID, you will need to specify the new path to the organizational account. The root level directory is /ruf . When a user logins to their netid they will be in their account directory at /rufhome/NetID .
To access an organization-type account (typically on partition org-a) you would need to use the path: /home/org-a/accountname/ Use this full path in your Filezilla or Dreamweaver setup too if you are logging in with your personal NetID account but working on the organizational account.
