Hampshire College

Each faculty member has access to their own home directory on the fachome server. This home directory can be used to save and back up important files. It is important to note that this server can only be accessed from on-campus.

You will also see a folder named "public_html" where you can publish web pages using the built-in FTP function of some website creation software. If you use a product like iWeb on a Mac, you may have to use a separate secure copy program such as Fugu, which is installed on your Hampshire computer.
