If you're a student in COMP 1850, review the following information to access your site. If you're not a student in this course, this will probably be pretty meaningless to you!

Each student has a personal webspace. This space is exclusively yours, with your own username and password. You will need to use a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client to move your files between the server and your local work station. In class, we will use FileZilla.

• Accounts are created in the system with the assistance of your instructor
• Be prepared to enter your:
  • directory name - your myBCIT name is a good option (what's that?)
  • username - does not have to be the same as directory name
  • password - must include one uppercase character, one punctuation character and one digit
• Instructor will have you enter your information to create account
• The account is created immediately
• Your URL will be: http://students.bcitwebdev.com/[your_directory_name]

1. Launch FileZilla from your Start Menu (choose All Programs and locate FileZilla in listing).
