Saving to your “www” folder using FTP

By Meg BenItez, edited by J. Wunderlich

1) Open Internet Explorer. In the address box, type ftp://users.etown.edu/last initial/userid

2) A log-in box will appear.

3) Your password is NOT your regular network password;

• it is your 7-digit college ID number. (e.g., 1080000)
• or you may have to proceed it with “EC#” (e.g., EC#1080000)

4) A window will open up that will need to be modified before you can use it.

5) Do what is stated at the top of FTP window: "To view this FTP site in Windows Explorer, click Page, and then click Open FTP Site in Windows Explorer."

6) You will then be prompted to log on again

7) Log on as you did in (3) above

8) A new window to the web server will be created that you can simply drag and drop files into; and once you do that, you are officially posted on the web.

The following log in box will appear.

Click on User and add your name. Use your college ID number for the password and click on OK. You’ll now be in the “www” folder and you can add the file name, saving it as you usually do.
