Comp Server: Web&Apps
The Comp server is available to all students, faculty, and staff for personal websites and academic research. Web&Apps is an easy, visual way to manage your files on the Comp server.
Log into Web&Apps at uamail.uark.edu/comp using your UARK username and password. The folder displayed on login is the public_html directory where web-accessible files are located. The Root directory is the primary directory where all of your Web&Apps folders are located. Notice that the file path above the Actions dropdown menu is [Root]/public_html.
