Removing or Replacing a File on comp.uark.edu or cavern.uark.edu

There are different ways to delete a web page file from your account (cavern.uark.edu or comp.uark.edu).

• Use an HTML editor with a file/site management system such as Dreamweaver or KompoZer. Click on the filename and press the Delete key. The site must be set up in the editor before the files will be available.
• Use a mapped drive. If the file is on your comp.uark.edu account, you can log into a General Access Computing Lab (GACL) computer and find the file in the My Documents folder (this folder is mapped to your comp.uark.edu account), click on it and press Delete. You can also map a drive to your account from other computers on the campus network.
• Use SFTP to connect to your account, and you can click on the file and press Delete.
• Use SSH to connect to your account and delete the file using the rm Unix command.
• If the file is on your comp.uark.edu account, use My Docs in UA Mail to delete the file.

If you upload a new page into the same directory on your account with the same filename as the one you want to replace, the new file will overwrite the old one.
For example, if your home page is in the public_html directory of your comp.uark.edu account and is named index.html and you upload a new page with the filename index.html to the public_html directory, your old home page will be replaced with the new one. Unix (on comp.uark.edu and cavern.uark.edu) is case-sensitive, so to overwrite the file, make sure the letters in the new file's name all use the same case as the letters in the old filename.
