FTP stands for "File Transfer Protocol." An FTP program is used when you want to transfer files over the internet. In this case, you'll learn how to transfer files from an off-campus computer onto the Saint Mary's server. For this, you'll need to download an FTP program. There are many available for free on the internet, but in this instance we will be using WS_FTP LE. You can download it free here: http://download.cnet.com/downloads/0-10064-108-35156.html?tag=st.dl.10064.upd.10064-108-35156 Once you've downloaded and installed the program onto your hard drive, open it up. You'll see this window:
Click on the "new" button, and type in the information as you see it in the window, except entering your own user id and user password into the spaces (it's the same that you use on your SMC email.) Then click "apply" and then "ok" Then you'll be looking at a window that looks like this:
The column on the left is your computer, the column on the right is your space on the Saint Mary's server. If you want the information to go on the internet, click on the "WWW" folder in the right column. Click on the "ChgDir" button. Enter the drive that your information is on that you want to transfer.
And then click ok. Go through the left column and select the information that you want to transfer. Now
click on the arrow that is pointing to the right in the space
between the two columns. This will upload your information to
the SMC server.
