Uploading to the USF Server

To complete this project, submit your files on Canvas and upload them to the USF server.
 This will make your web pages accessible from the Internet.  

1) Uploading to the Server instructions (Windows and Apple Users) : FileZilla FTP Instructions
2) You can use the library computers if you don't feel comfortable putting FileZilla on your computer.
3) You can also download a portable version of FileZilla that you can
put on a flash drive instead of installing it on your computer.
You an get it at http://download.cnet.com/FileZilla-Portable/3000-2160_4-10834891.html  .
Once you unzip it and start the program, you can follow the rest of the instructions above.

Once your files are in the public_html folder, you can view your webpages through your URL. It will be your netid followd by .myweb.usf.edu So if your netid is jsmith, your url will be jsmith.myweb.usf.edu.
