Uploading
- Ensure files and documents are located in proper directories, either in your USB drive or hard drive.
- Open an FTP program. In the lab, we use FileZilla, which is free to download and available on different platforms.
- Within FileZilla, there is a login area at the top of the screen.
- Next to "Host" input "sftp://myweb.csuchico.edu" -- Chico State requires that we use secure FTP (SFTP).
- Enter your portal user name next to "Username" and your portal password next to "Password".
- You should now be able to connect by hitting "Quickconnect," followed by a notice confirming that you are connected.
- Your remote (online) directory will appear with files --such as ".bash_logout" -- that may be ignored for now.
- The directory named "public_html" is where any publicly available files will be placed -- click and drag the appropriate files into this directory.
- All files associated with your site need to appear in this folder for the Web version to be identical to the local version on your computer.
- Your new URL is http://myweb.csuchico.edu/~username, with "username" being your portal and email username.
- CSU's user services provides more information about uploading files onto its server.
