UNC Chapel hill provides students and faculty with AFS space, including a public_html directory that is served to the web. This script allows for easy deployment of static files to the public_html folder.

copy the deployafs file to a folder in your home directory named /bin/. Add this folder to your PATH by adding the following statement to your .profile (or .bashrc):

PATH=$PATH:~/bin/

Then type source .profile (or .bashrc) and the command deployafs should be available to you.

deployafs <file/folder1 to be deployed> <destination file/folder name> [AFS username]

For example, for user eah13 to deploy the _site local folder to the blog remote folder:

deployafs _site/ blog/ eah13

Note the trailing slashes

The new site will be visible at http://www.unc.edu/~eah13/blog/
