VII. Personal Files:

Every member has an area on the CCN computer called a directory. It contains a set of personal files and subdirectories for storing information. There is a limit to the space provided for this (called your quota), if you have reached this you will be informed so on signing in and given a period of time to clear up the excess. This area is referred to in some sectons of this file as your home directory. It contains your e-mail folders, bookmark file, signature and profile files and any other things you store there. It can reached by the "g files" command. Once there you can read, edit, download or delete the files.

• e-mail folders have your outgoing and incoming mail

• your bookmark file(s) is a place to store useful links you have found

• your signature is a "calling card" which is added to your outgoing e-mail and can be edited to say anything you want

• your profile is a public document which people see when they search for names. It can be customized with your interests and links. To effectively edit this you will need to learn how to edit in HTML. It is located in the subdirectory 'public_html' (without the quotes), and is in essence the start of your website!
