[09/02] Put a File on the Web

At first, I searched an uploading program which is easy to use and freeware on the google.
I found a web site, http://sourceforge.net/, for downloading various freeware, then found a FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program named ‘FileZilla’. According to users, this program is so easy to use and has simple interface.

1. I created this html file with Microsoft Word.
2. I downloaded FileZilla from http://sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla, then installed and lanched it.
3. I could see a window like the following image.

4. I put the hostname, username(my net ID), password, and port number in the blank, then clicked the ‘quickconnect’ button. (For the next time connection, you cannot put again these things. Just click the small arrow button next to ‘quickconnect’ button, then choose your server.)I found these information from UT OIT web site.
5. Then, I could see that there are Local site status on the left part and Remote site on the right.
6. I created a new folder named ‘tech521’ in the public_html folder.
7. I dragged and dropped the file that I want to upload to the server from the local site to remote site.
8. Finally, it was put on my VolSpace server.
