Uploading to a Web Directory with SmartFTP
Students using lab computers should use SmartFTP to manage their directories on the Bloomfield College web server. Here are instructions for using this program.
When you open SmartFTP, you will see either a blank screen or the Local Browser Window, a Windows Explorer-like interface:
If you do not see the Local Browser window, select Local Browser from the FTP menu, or press the button on the toolbar.
Connecting to the server
The following dialog appears at the top of the SmartFTP window:
In the URL space, type: users.bloomfield.edu/students/username (Replace 'students' with 'facstaff' if you are a faculty or staff member)
In the Login space, type: sunshine/username (where username is your network login)
In the Password space, type your network password
Leave the Port space blank
Make sure Anonymous is not checked
Press Enter or select Connect from the FTP menu.
You will then see the contents of your directory on the web server:
You can create new folders in your web directory by right clicking the mouse in your file list and selecting New > Folder.
Uploading Files
In the Local Browser window, browse to 3 1/2 Floppy, your network folder, or other location of the files you wish to upload. Select the files to upload (multiple files can be selected by holding down Shift or Control keys) and simply drag them into the users.bloomfield.edu window. The files will be copied to the web server.
Downloading files from your web directory to local disk can be done by the same drag & drop method.
When finished using FTP, select Disconnect from the FTP menu, then close the program.
If you have difficulty connecting, please contact your instructor.
