The last thing you need to do is to get the files up on your server. The way that works is with a FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program. It will take the files from your machine and put them up on the server.

For current UWP students can get a copy of WS FTP LE in the software download page using your username and password.

How to FTP for PC

1. Open the WS_FTP program. The session profile dialog box will open.
2. Enter anything for the Profile Name.
3. Enter the Host Name "ftp.nw.uwplatt.edu" (without the quotes)
4. Enter your Novell username in the User ID.
5. Enter your Novell password.
6. Click OK.

The window is divided into two main parts. The left side gives details of the computer that you are using. The right side displays information about the computer at the remote site that you will be sending your data to. This set up enables the transfer of files between the two sites.

1. Locate the file to be transferred on the local computer (left).
2. Locate the directory to receive the file on the remote (right).
3. To transfer the file you must decide if the file is ASCII (Text) or Binary (Pictures) and to make sure you have the right one, also select the Auto.
4. The two arrows between the Local and Remote send the selected file the appropriate direction. Click on the arrow that points to the right to send something from the Local (left) to the Remote (right).
5. The file will transfer and the dialog box at the bottom of the screen will tell you what occurred and if there was an error.
6. When all of the files are finished you close the window.

How to Change Directories for Web1

1. Follow the steps for How to FTP for PC.
2. In the upper right corner click on ChgDir.
3. For the remote folder name enter "\\web1_svr\web1" (without the quotes).
4. Click OK.

Other Directories

• J Drive: "\\User1_svr\User1" (without the quotes).
• S Drive: "\\Shared1_svr\Shared1" (without the quotes).
• Z Drive: "\\App1_svr\App1" (without the quotes).

Suggestions

1. You can receive data from your server as well as put information on the server.
2. Select multiple files at once and the FTP will go faster.
3. Make sure that the Auto is selected. If you send a picture over as ASCII, the data for the picture will be corrupted. If you send text (html etc.) as a Binary the text will be corrupted.
4. If you do not put your html inside of your public_html directory, Novell will not display it when it is called by a URL.
