Welcome to the tutorial on how to use your UT WebSpace account. Lets
first go to the Webspace page. WebSpace is a file storage, file sharing,
and online publishing environment that may be accessed and used through
any Internet browser. Each member of the University of Texas community
(students, faculty, and staff) have 75 MB of server space available to
them through WebSpace, paid for by the University's technology fees.

To access your account, simply go to http://webspace.utexas.edu. You
might notice that as soon as you go to the page, the address will appear
as "https." This indicates that you are entering a secure Web site.

There are many ways to use your WebSpace account. For example, you can
use the space to store files, to share files with others, and to publish
files online. Also, WebSpace has many features that enable collaborative
work; such as file sharing, versioning, and comments. Remember, files
can be anything: word documents, pdfs, jpgs, html files, etc.

Please keep in mind that your account is ultimately the property of the
University of Texas and is therefore subject to the University's
policies on acceptable uses of information technologies.

So how does WebSpace work? WebSpace is a software application that
provides you secure remote access to a server for the purpose of
transferring files from your computer to the server for storage or
publication. When you log onto WebSpace you are remotely connecting to
the server where electronic files are stored. While you are logged on
you can upload or download files to and from the server. When you are
log off, you are disconnected from the server and cannot upload or
download files. However, when not logged on, you and others may still
read files stored in your WebSpace account if these files are either in
your World Wide Web directory (which means they're published online),
the file's permissions are set to share, or you have issued a ticket to
the file. We will explore these functions more, later in the tutorial.
