How To upload to the class server with ftp © R. Craig Collins, 2005/6

After reading about log in information you may jump to
To ftp using IE 7
To ft using IE 6
To ftp using Filezilla
To ftp using wsftp
You cannot ftp using Firefox unless you have a free plug in from www.surfsaver.com

Note: ftp is only used to upload files. Not to edit or change files, or to view files.
To change files, edit your local copy, delete the original file on the server, then upload the new version.
To view the files, use your web browser.

Web Page Design 1 Student 01 (wd1std01) through Web Page Design 1 Student 80 (wd1std80)
have an account on studentweb.templejc.edu. Your instructor will assign you a number.

The username at the ftp login is wd1-**, where you substitute your assigned student number, such as wd1-25
The password is w3bD@2**, where you substitute your assigned student number, such as W3bD@225

After logging in, you are automatically placed in your folder (no need to navigate the IMED1316 folder), such as wd1std25, where you can upload a default document, such as index.html, plus folders and files you have created.

To view the pages you have placed on the server you would direct your web browser to
http://studentweb.templejc.edu/imed1316/wd1stdxx (substitute your assigned number)

Example, to go to the instructor's site, go to
http://studentweb.templejc.edu/imed1316/wd1std25/ to view the default document.

ftp MAY NOT work properly for newer versions of Internet Explorer or Edge... recommend using Filezilla
(Firefox will not upload ftp without help, see details here)

Type in the following URL in your browser: ftp://studentweb.templejc.edu
When prompted, choose View (not Page), then choose Open FTP site in Windows Explorer

The log in screen will appear
Enter the user name and password provided by the instructor


Additional steps on copying files from My Computer to your ftp folder are included in the IE 6 section.

NOTE: DO NOT COPY YOUR LAB9 folder... open the lab9 folder, and copy the contents only...
...such as index.html, the pages folder, and the images folder.
See screen shot below for what you should see when finished.

IMPORTANT, you CANNOT replace existing files on the server... they must be deleted, then re-uploaded.

If using IE 6:
Type in the following URL in your browser: ftp://studentweb.templejc.edu
Enter your username and password, as described above. For example purposes only the screen below has the instructors log in info. Do NOT attempt to upload files to the instructors account.



You may now right click the browser window and create folders, as needed.



Then open My Computer, right click files and copy, the switch to the browser, then right click and paste.

Enter your username and password, as described above, then hit [Enter].

The advantage of using a tool like wsftp is that you can see both the local computer files, such as the A drive, and the server. Log in using the same info as above. (Profile names are optional)


To create a folder, click the [MkDir]button. To open a folder, click the [ChgDir] button.
To upload a file, browse to it in the left pane, then click the [-->]button.
