Start Menu and clicking on programs, then Internet Tools, then the
WS_FTP folder then the WS_FTP program.



When the program starts, a Session Properties window will pop up. Click
the "New" button to start a new site that you will save as your MYSCSU
WEBSPACE.




After you have clicked the "New" button, most of the fields in the
Session Properties will have dissapeared. Fill them in as follows:

Profile Name: MYSCSU WEBSPACE
Host Name/Address: www.southernct.edu
Host Type: Automatic detect

After you have filled in the appropriate fields, click on the Apply
button to save your changes and then on the OK button to ftp to your
webspace.

After the server has authenticated your username and password you will
see a folder by the name of "WWW". Everything you save in this folder
will appear on the internet under the url:
http://home.southernct.edu/~username/
