Install WS FTP LE - My E-town -- Personal Home Pages
Overview
It is no longer possible to save files directly to our campus web server by placing them in your web (www) folder. The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) must be used to transfer files from your local computer to our web server. FTP is built into some common web page (HTML) editors such as FrontPage and Dreamweaver. Those creating HTML files with other applications should save them to a folder on their local computer and then transfer them to our web server using FTP. These instructions will guide you through this process using the WS_FTP LE program.
