First Experiment: Download and Upload a File

Create a folder for this course

If you have not done so already, create a course folder.

Download sample files

(Downloading these files is one of the tasks in the Getting Started activity. Since you've done it here, you won't need to do it again.)

Create an index.html file

Make a copy of the student template file and rename it to index.html.

(You will make modifications to this file — or replace its contents entirely if you want — in the Getting Started activity. But for now, you are just going to practice uploading it to our class server.)

Download FileZilla

If you're using your own computer, and if you haven't done so already, download the FileZilla client from filezilla-project.org or SourceForge. (The K lab computers already have FileZilla installed on them.)

Upload index.html to the CS Student Web Server

Upload your index.html file to the CS Student Web Server using these instructions for uploading to student.cs.kzoo.edu using FileZilla.

Test that it copied correctly: bring up a new browser tab and type student.cs.kzoo.edu/k00ab01/index.html in the browser location window (using your userid instead of k00ab01 and your filename if it is something other than index.html). If you named the file index.html, you should also be able to see it by just typing student.cs.kzoo.edu/k00ab01/ (using your userid instead of k00ab01).
