Terms of Service for the Faculty Web Server

  • Your account space on the "faculty" server should be used only for the storage of content related to your web site or course. This account should not be used for long-term storage of files, or as a back-up mechanism for your personal files. All unnecessary files should be deleted from your account on a regular basis.
  • All content on the server must adhere to the College's Web Site Policies - http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/about_site.html
  • We request that you keep your total file size below 30Mb. If you will be exceeding this limit, we ask you give us advance notification to insure that there is sufficient space on the server.
  • This is a Windows server running Windows IIS Web server
  • You should maintain your own file back-up locally
  • The Web server can host static html (web pages) and document files (pdf, doc xls, etc).
  • There is no database application running on, or accessible from, this server.
  • The server ("faculty") hosts a number of other faculty sites and projects. While the server is relatively stable, it does experience some slow response periods at times. This usually results from faculty posting large files for students to download, online quizzes, etc. These things really tax both the processor and the bandwidth of the machine.
  • Currently we do not offer any technical support in the creation and maintenance of Web sites. We may be able to provide some simple troubleshooting or advice, but we can't give you much more than that right now. Our support services may be expanded in the future.
  • You will access the server for file transfer via ftp
