WIDE FIELD CAMERA 3 WEBSITE USERS MANUAL: The Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field 
Camera 3 (WFC3) website is maintained by the WFC3 Project to provide information 
during instrument development. It provides an overview of the project for the 
public at large as well as promoting information exchange within the Project. 
There are two main categories of information: 1. General information (publicly 
accessible). 2. Internal private pages for the Project and the Scientific Oversight 
Commitee. This document outlines the services available and describes the procedures 
for using these services. HOW TO REACH THE WFC3 WEBSITE: The main entry into the 
WFC3 page is through: http://wfc3.gsfc.nasa.gov/ PUBLIC PAGES: The public WFC3 
site provides background information and current status of the project. It also 
provides contact information for the WFC3 project and the SOC. Feedback from the 
public is solicited through the guestbook.PRIVATE SOC WEBPAGES: Password-protected 
pages are maintained for the exclusive use of the SOC and other approved users. 
These users will be given their preferred usernames and can set their own preferred 
passwords. The WFC3 staff will maintain these pages as needed. Users of these 
pages should contact wfc3-web@wfc3.gsfc.nasa.gov to request modification of these 
pages. Material can be provided using the ftp site (see below). PRIVATE PROJECT 
WEBPAGES Password-protected pages are maintained for the exclusive use of the 
WFC3 Project and other approved users. These users will be given their preferred 
usernames and can set their own preferred passwords. The WFC3 staff will maintain 
these pages as needed. Users of these pages should contact wfc3-web@wfc3.gsfc.nasa.gov 
to to request modification of these pages. Material can be provided using the 
ftp site (see below).).ANONYMOUS FTP: Anonymous ftp is supported. Access is obtained 
by pointing an ftp capable client to: ftp://wfc3.gsfc.nasa.gov Username: anonymous 
Password: your e-mail address Once logged in, the general user has access to the 
wfc3/public directory. This directory is restricted to read-only for public access, 
although write access is available in the public/incoming directory. The purpose 
of the /incoming directory is to provide a convenient file dropoff location. To 
prevent abuse, the files in public/incoming will be automatically purged after 
7 days, and a strict 50 Mb quota is enforced for the directory. Users are encouraged 
to quickly notify the intended recipient so that deposited files can be moved 
to another directory or machine.SOC/PROJECT FTP: All users with passwords will 
have access to both public as well as non-public disk space for reading and writing. 
These areas may be used as repositories for sharing information, as well as for 
communicating with the WFC3 staff. Users can create sub-directory structures within 
either the private or public directories. Note that SOC and Project users will 
have separate ftp directory trees. At this time, the ftp passwords are not the 
same as the Web page passwords used to access the private pages. There is a shared, 
group ftp user name and password for all SOC private page users. There is also 
another shared, group ftp user name and password for the Project page users. We 
are currently working on integrating the ftp access controls with the Web page 
access controls.MAIL EXPLODERS: E-mail aliases are provided to ease communication 
with groups within the WFC3 Project. Project and SOC members should refer to the 
User's Manuals posted on their respective private pages for additional information. 
LISTSERVER/NEWSLETTER: A listserver-based mailing list is supported for the automatic 
broadcast of periodic announcements. Listserver mailing lists are similar to aliases 
in that mailings to the listserver are re-mailed to the entire list. With listservers, 
users are added or removed from the list by subscribing and unsubscribing (membership 
in the list is not manually controlled or regulated). The mailing list can be 
reached by sending mail to: wfc3-info For public WFC3 information. This site is 
advertised on the public web page. Submissions to this list are restricted to 
list owner. Please send all potential newsletter information to Kathy Glasser 
(glasser@stars.gsfc.nasa.gov). To subscribe: To subscribe to a mailing list, send 
e-mail with the word "subscribe" in the body to: wfc3-info@wfc3.gsfc.nasa.gov 
An email will be sent out with additional information. To unsubscribe: To unsubscribe 
from a mailing list, send e-mail with the word "unsubscribe" in the body to: wfc3-info@wfc3.gsfc.nasa.gov 
BACKUPS: All files that reside at the wfc3.gsfc.nasa.gov site are backed up nightly 
to a hot spare disk.
