Internet Explorer | Web Drive | Dreamweaver | Telnet | SSH | WS_FTP

Internet Explorer:
Open up Internet Explorer (this can be done by clicking the blue lowercase "e" near the "Start" menu, or by selecting "Internet Explorer" from the "Start" >> "Programs" menu). In the address bar, type:

ftp://ftp.eden.rutgers.edu

... and hit "enter." A dialogue box will appear asking for your Eden login and password. Enter these in the appropriate boxes and hit "OK." Your Eden storage space will appear in the Internet Explorer page, and should look similar to Windows Explorer / My Computer browsing on your own hard drive.

You may already see some files and folders created; do not alter any of these. They are set up for your mail and other Eden-related services.

To create a new folder, click the "File" menu and select "New" from the drop-down list (you can also right-click and select "New"). You should see "Folder" as a choice. Click this, and a new folder will appear below with the other files. From here, simply name this folder "public_html" (note the underscore between the two words; the underscore can be attained by holding "shift" and pressing the dash or minus button directly to the right of the number zero).

The properties of this folder will default to the appropriate ones. You, the owner, are able to read, write, and execute from this folder (this includes renaming and deleting it entirely). Anonymous visitors (for example, anyone you simply give your URL to) may only read and execute data from this folder; they may not make any changes or alterations to it. To check these properties, simply right-click the folder and select "Properties."

You are now free to use "public_html" directory as your main folder within your Eden storage space. Any files within "public_html" can be access at the following URL, where "username" is your Eden login:

http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~username
