Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run CGI scripts?
No
Can I use an FTP client?
No
Can I use this service to host other websites?
Yes, but only if they are directly related to the school. A request should be made to the NCTE Service Desk. The new website can either be an alias to the existing school1.scoilnet.ie website, or can have a seperate directory pointing to it.
How much storage is available?
At the moment, there are no quotas in place, and no plans to implement a quota system. However, file uploads are monitored, and abuse will be dealt with.
