-
Double-click the icon labeled "WS_FTP LE" on your desktop.
-
Once the application has opened fill in the following data fields with
the correct information:
Host Name/Address à "u.arizona.edu"
Host Type à "automatic detect"
User ID à your email login name
Password à your email password
MAKE SURE THAT NEITHER THE "ANONYMOUS" OR "SAVE PASSWORD" BOXES ARE
CHECKED!
-
Click on "OK" to open a connection to your account
-
It may ask you to reenter your password….if so, then type it again and
click "OK"
-
The left half of the screen are the files and directories of the computer
you are sitting at. The right side are the files and directories of your
account hosted on the U of A server. On the left side of the screen select
the "[-H-]" drive because that is where you saved your file. Once the "[-H-]"
is highlighted click the "ChgDir" button.
-
You should see the "EnglishFolder" on screen, so double-click to open it
and then scroll down to find your file. Once you have found your file,
click ONCE to select it.
-
Now that you have located the file you want to upload it is time to find
a place in your account to upload it to. On your U of A account all files
that you want accessible to people on the web must be placed in the folder
called "public_html". Once you’ve found this file on the right side of
the screen double-click it to select it and open it.
-
If you don't have a "public_html" folder, use the "MK DIR" button on the
right side of the WS_FTP screen to create one named "public_html".
Double click on the folder to open it.
-
With "public_html" open, we are now ready to transfer our file. Since we
want the file on the left half of the screen to be moved to the right half
of the screen, we click on the arrow that is pointing to the right.
-
Your file has now been uploaded. If you would like that file to be the
first thing people see when they go to your webpage, then you need to rename
it. By default, any file called "index.html" that is found in your "public_html"
folder will be the first thing display when people go to your webpage.
So let’s change my file (TylerIndex.html) so it is called "index.html".
To do this, highlight the file on the right side by clicking on it once.
Then click on the "Rename" button on the right side. Type in "index.html"
and then click "OK".
