Day 6: protocols and uploading

(revised after class to say what we actually did)

Today we will begin with a short discussion of Internet protocols. Then we will talk about uploading files to the web using Filezilla FTP.

Get Filezilla FTP here. Be sure to get the client program.

When you use Filezilla, you will need to specify:

host:  www.student.nvcc.edu
username: nvstu\yourID (example, vfitton)
password:
port: (leave blank)

then click Quickconnect.

On the left, go through the file tree to get to your Desktop and the web folder you created on it.

On the right, if you can't yet see a folder with your name in the Remote window, click on the folder tree and find it. (Sorry to be so vague, but we were getting varying results in the lab.)

Pick up the entire web folder from the Desktop on the left and drop it on the folder with your name on the right. In the filename folder, lower right, double click on the web folder that should now be visible, and make sure it's got what it should.

In the browser, use this URL:

www.student.nvcc.edu/home/yourID/web/yourPage.html

substituting your own LAN ID and page names. When successful, send me an e-mail with the URL. Send it to everyone!

Click the same Quickconnect button to close your connection with the server.
