This
is where you need to insert
your Host name, User ID, and Password.
If
connecting to the UH server, just replace the User ID and
password, and then click
on OK.
This is the screen
you will see once you are connected to the PDTS server. The
files showing on the left are files residing on the local
system; the computer from which you are connecting. The
files and folders showing on the right are those which
reside on the remote system, which is the PDTS server.
Notice
that the directory named homepage
has been highlighted. This is where the folders and files
you need to post will be stored.
Click
on the remote system folder called
homepage.
When
you do this, the word homepage
will be added to the location bar after your user
ID. During
the course of the semester there may be many class assigned
web pages you must post. It is a good idea to house each web
page in its own folder, both on your computer and on the
server. In WS_FTP they are called directories. To do this
click
on MKDIR.

Make the directory name, something to describe the web page you are going to upload to the server. In this example, the directory has been named Eudora. Once you have created a new directory, click on it. The new directory name will then be added to the location bar, after the directory named homepage. |
Next,
highlight the files that need to be transferred. They will
be on the LEFT part of the screen. Once they are
highlighted, click
on the
directional arrow in the middle of the
screen.
This
will copy the files from the local side to the remote system
side.Back

Once the transfer of files is complete, you will hear an audible ZING.
The files
will now be listed on the remote system side of the screen.
More than
one file can be selected at a time when uploading. To do
this, click on the first file and drag to the last file that
you wish to be transferred. Then click on the directional
arrow to initiate the transfer.

After your transfers are complete. You can click on EXIT. This will close your connection to the remote server. |
