Navigating through folders

• Once you have logged in you can then navigate through the folders to get to your subject area.
• Double click a folder to open it.

• Once you have arrived at the folder where you upload your web pages, you can add this location to the Internet Explorer 'Favorites' (bookmarks) so you can return there easily at a later date.
• Additionally you can drag the location icon in the 'Address' bar straight onto the desktop which creates a shortcut to your folder. Just double click it at any time and you will be asked for your password and taken straight there.

Uploading files

• Open the folder on the hard disk or network drive where your files are located.
• Position the folder window (or Windows NT Explorer) so you can see both it and the Internet Explorer window.
• Simply drag and drop the files from the folder window to Internet Explorer to upload them:

Downloading files

Depending on your Internet Explorer version you can or cannot use 'drag and drop' to download files.

• If you cannot, instead, select the files you want, right mouse click them and select 'Copy To Folder...' from the pop up menu:

• Alternatively, select the files and choose 'Copy To Folder...' from the 'File' menu.
• Then select where you want to save the files on the 'Browse for Folder' tree:

Creating New Folders

Right click inside the web folder and within the menu bar select 'New' then select 'Folder'. Once created it will allow you to give it a name.

Renaming Folder or Files

Highlight folder, right click with the mouse while pointing the desire folder, select 'Rename'

Deleting Folders or Files

Highlight folder, document, or image, right click with the mouse while pointing the desire file, select 'Delete'

Note: If you have many files to upload it probably makes more sense to use a FTP program that can upload whole directories at once. FTP programs are designed to upload or download many files across the Internet.

A couple of FTP programs for Windows users are FTP Explorer, WS_FTP, CuteFTP, FTPVoyager. Macintosh users should try Fetch which automatically encodes your files as it uploads
