After downloading and installing the program, you will see this screen when WS_FTP LE first starts up:
At this point enter 'beowulf.augsburg.edu' for Host Name/Address, your User ID (login name), and your password. Check 'Save Password' if you don't want to type it in every time.
When everything is entered, hit OK. WS_FTP will then log you into your Augsburg account (you'll need to be online first!). The screen you will next see will look something like that shown below:
The left-hand window has a list of files in a directory on your
machine.
The right-hand window has a list of files in your directory on the
Augsburg web server.
WARNING: Any files you place in this www directory will be available
for everyone to see that knows your address.
How To Upload files
IMPORTANT: Your main page needs to be called 'index.html'. If it is not, you will only see a listing of your files when you go to your homepage address
To upload a file from your computer to Augsburg's web site, select
the file you want to upload on the left screen, highlight it, and hit
the right arrow key to transfer it over. You should then see the file
listed on the right side.
How To Download files
Downloading is just the opposite. Select the file you want to download from the right and hit the left-hand arrow to move it to your local directory.
Updating your page
If you want to update a file, you can simply upload your modified file and it will overwrite any files previously on the server with the same name.
Deleting files
Just highlight the file you want to delete, and click on the Delete button.
Renaming files
Just highlight the file you want to rename, and click on the Rename button
Handy WS_FTP tips!
* You can upload or download more then one file at a time! Just
hold down the CTRL key on your keyboard, and highlight as many files
as you want. Then click on the transfer arrows to either upload or
download all the files at once. You can also use the SHIFT key to
select groups of adjoining file names (play with it a bit).
* You can upload entire folders! Just highlight the folder and click
on the transfer arrow. It's best to have 'Auto' set when sending
groups of mixed HTML and picture files.
