Web Drive:
From the "Start" menu, select "Programs" and click "Web Drive." The Web Drive application will launch to its main menu.

In the left-hand side of the screen, you will see two selections: RCI and Eden. Select Eden (just a single click). The right side should have the Site Address/URL automatically listed as ftp.eden.rutgers.edu, with the server type as "FTP" and the drive as "X."

Click the "Connect" button in the upper-right. A new window will appear asking you to enter in your Eden login and password in the appropriate boxes. Do so and click "OK."

Windows Explorer should auto-launch at this point and will default to a new "X" drive. This "X" drive is actually your Eden server space, acting as a kind of drive on your own computer.

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
