last updated 061005

[Go to CCIT's SSH - the Secure Shell to download the software]

1. Open SSH-FTP on your computer. When first opened, it looks like ...

2. Now you want to set up a profile to make it easy to connect each time you use
SSH-FTP. Click on Profiles and then Add Profile. It will look like this ...

3. When you click on Add Profile, it opens "Add Current Connection to Profile"
Add something that describes it and hit your enter to accept it. In my example
I wrote: My U System Website

4. Now Click on Profiles again, and this time select Edit Profiles. You now have a window
that looks like what I have below. Notice where I added a Host name of u.arizona.edu and
my User Name: is my UANet ID. Add u.arizona.edu for your Host Name and add your
UANet ID for your username. Also, click once to select password. Now click OK. This means
when you do a quick connect, you will be prompted to enter your UANet password.

5. Now open Profiles, click on the profile you just created to get a window like this.

enter your password and OK

6. Now you will see your remote directory structure.

Double-click the folder public_html to display your website files and folders.

Next, from the drag down menu for Operation, click on Upload. This will give you a
standard looking window where you are going to browse to the HTML (.htm or .html) file
you want to upload and click on Upload.

Once you click on Upload, it automatically ftp's the file for you to your public_html folder
on the U System. In plain words, you just put the file on your website. If you have sub-folders,
be sure to double click the sub-folder, e.g., a sub-folder named "images" if you have a file
that is destined for that location. It is important to put files in the correct folders because
within the HTML on your page are the correct folder paths.

7. When you are done uploading to your website, go to the File drop down menu, and click
Disconnect. This ends your session.
