• There are 2 ways to access the FTP folder, in this example this is for the test area, not your course ftp site:

  OPTION 1

  • In the Address line, type the following URL or click on the link:
    ftp://ftptest@65.36.243.3/
  • In the USER NAME field, type: ftptest
  • In the PASSWORD field, type: test123abc
  • Click the LOGIN button
  • You should now have access to the directory

  OPTION 2

  • In the Address line, type the following URL or click on the link:
    ftp://ftptest:test123abc@65.36.243.3/
  • You should now have access to the directory
    
    * The above examples are for testing only, this is NOT your course folder. Any files that are uploaded to the test area are subject to deletion without any prior notification.

    When you try to connect to your course FTP folder, you will have to substitute a couple of the above values in the URL:

  Substitute ftptest with the LOGIN you where given for your course FTP folder

  Substitute test123abc with the PASSWORD you where given for your course FTP folder

• To see a live view of the files in the FTPTEST folder, open your favorite browser and type the following URL:
  http://www.studentprojectarea.com/ftptest

  When you want to see the files in your course FTP folder, you will have to substitute the last part of the above URL:

  Substitute ftptest with the LOGIN you where given for the FTP folder, followed by any other sub-directories.

  Example:

  If the LOGIN for your course FTP folder is: eng101f02b and your files are located in a sub-directory called john_doe , the full URL you would use is:
  
  http://www.studentprojectarea.com/eng101f02b/john_doe
