• http://voyager.deanza.edu
• Voyager account .pdf - instructions for creating an account
• Voyager login, upload .pdf - instructions

Reminder - you are creating the Windows and Voyager accounts at the same time. The username and password are the same for both.

Students can drop by ATC203 Computer Lab with any issues. For security reasons, students need to show their ID upon request the password to be reset.

To access your files in your public directory in your Voyager account directory, the web address is like this

• http://voyager.deanza.edu/~sbaines/ymca.html

Your files are on Voyager, so you need to say that.

• This will be http://voyager.deanza.edu
• Voyager has been set up so that the middle part of the web address is just the tilde character '~" followed by your Voyager username. This is a shortcut way of specifying the path to your public html directory in your student account. For example: /~sbaines/
• Then the file name is just the actual file name with its suffix. For example: ymca.html

When you are uploading your file to Voyager the full path through the directories in your Voyager account will be something like this

• /home/student/sbaines/public_html/ymca.html

Note: Voyager is a Unix system. There shouldn't be any spaces in your file name. The file name should end with the file-type suffix .htm or .html

Behind the scenes it keeps the TEXTAREA updated so you can close the editor, write a summary, and click "Save" in the wiki as normal.
  Zed is Open Source (MIT license), but the easiest way to get it is to install the free copies from the Chrome Web Store.
