Web Space and FTP - How to FTP

WVNET offers space for Web pages to dial-up users and those with POP3 e-mail accounts. The files are served and saved on one of our Linux servers. There is 4MB of space available for each account. HTML, graphics, and other files used in Web page development may also be stored there.

How to FTP

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) allows you to send files from your computer to the WVNET Webserver (Linux). This means you can send Web pages, graphics and/or any other file to your Web directory to transfer to another computer or view on the web.

If you are an avid online auction user (e.g. ebay, amazon, etc.), this is how you can display images on your auction. How does this work?

To send files to the WVNET Webserver:

Connect to myweb.wvnet.edu
Enter your POP3 userid and password
Change current directory to the public_html directory
Transfer files between your computer and the Webserver

FTP Software:

For Windows, we recommend FileZilla, which is a fast and reliable FTP client and server with lots of useful features and an intuitive interface.

A variety of shareware FTP clients for Macintosh is available at Tucows, as well as at other sites, such as those listed in our Macintosh software section.
