Account Information

An account has been created for you on our Linux server. The name of your account is your last name, and your password is your student ID number.

You can do file transfer using an sftp program like WINSCP. You can download this for free at http://winscp.sourceforge.net/eng/

On your own computer, download the Portable executable. This is a .exe file that can run without the need for further installation.

You start the program by double-clicking it. This is what you’ll see:

Fill in your hostname, username, and password. Use 66.195.8.98 off-campus, and 10.19.50.7 on campus.

Make sure the port number is 22.

Then click Login. You’ll see something like this:

All of your files should be put into the public_html directory. So open that directory by double-clicking it in the right frame.

Then navigate in the left frame to find the files to transfer. Highlight the file, and choose the Copy command from the File menu. It’ll now appear in the right frame.

Make sure you transfer all files (including graphics files).

If you want to make a small change in a file after it’s been copied, you can double-click the file. An editing window opens up.

You can close this window the usual way. You’ll be asked to save your work first.

You can view your files in a browser with either of these URLs, depending on whether you’re on campus or not.
