WS-FTP
LE is the FTP program preferred by the Delmarva Online Webteam for use with
Windows operating systems.
- DOWNLOAD
and INSTALL WS-FTP LE,
- OPEN
the program and CLICK
-
NAME your profile "Bluecrab"
-
ENTER home.bluecrab.org in the "Host Name/Address:" space.
- ENTER
your Bluecrab Username in the "User ID" space
- ENTER
your Bluecrab Password in the "Password" field.
(You may wish to check "Save Pwd" box.)
- CLICK
on the
tab at the top.
- ENTER
"public_html" in the "Initial Remote Host
Directory:"
- SET
the "Initial Local Directory" to the place on your machine
where your files to be uploaded are stored.
CLICK
"Apply" to save your settings. (From this point
on, when you open up WS-FTP, all you need to do is CLICK on the
Bluecrab profile and then "Ok.")
You are now ready to send files.
CLICK
the "OK" button to connect.
Once you are connected, your screen should look something like
this:
- HIGHLIGHT
the files you want to transfer to your space
- CLICK
 to send your files over.
(Of
course as with most Windows Applications, you can always "drag
and drop.")
You
will see a copy of your files in the "Remote System"
space when the transfer is complete.
IMPORTANT
FOR PERSONAL WEB SPACE USERS:
- Make
sure that the main page is named index.html or it will not show
up automatically when you open up http://home.bluecrab.org/~username
where username would be replaced with you Bluecrab username.
- If
you are just posting pictures or files for friends, online auctions,
etc.., the path to them would be http://home.bluecrab.org/~username/FILENAME
where FILENAME is the name you gave your file.
- Our
system is case sensitive. If you upload a file with uppercase
characters in the file name, you must also reference it that
way in your html file. For example, MyFile.jpg, MYFILE.JPG,
and myfile.jpg are all different files on our personal
web server.
