1) To upload a file, use any FTP software. You can do a search on your hard drive to see if it has an FTP application. If your computer doesn't already have it, you can
**download a commercial version for about $25 (use a search engine to find a place)
**download a free version from the University of Hawaii Information Technology Services, or other Web locations
**get it from the UH Bookstore from their UNIX set-up diskette (about two dollars) (FTP is one of the applications on that diskette)
**GET A FREE CD with the FTP software on it at the Help Desk in Keller Hall
**bring your diskette to any campus lab and upload your files using the FTP software located in the Internet folder.
2) When you start the FTP application you get a dialog box where you need to type in three pieces of information:
| information to type in | 409a class | 409b class | 459 class |
| Host address: | www.soc.hawaii.edu | www.soc.hawaii.edu | www.soc.hawaii.edu |
Login ID: |
409as2002 | 409bs2002 | 459s2002 |
| Password: | Note: the password will be given out by the instructor in class | ||
Once you are logged in, give the Make New Directory (or Folder) command (this will create a new folder that is your own). Each software is slightly different. You will then get a dialog box to name the new folder. Use your last name or your pseudonym if you're using one for your reports and forum discussions. Do not use spaces in folder or file names, but you can use hyphens (-) or underscore (__). Once it accepts it, you will see two sections to the dialog box. On the RIGHT will be the folder you just created, next to the folders other students have created. On the LEFT, you will see the files and folders on the computer's hard drive or diskette. That dialog window allows you to browse your directory so you can find your drive, folder, and file. Double click the folder you just created (on the RIGHT section). It will open the folder. It should now be empty, with no files showing as yet. This is where you will upload all your files. Don't forget to double click your folder and make sure you are in your folder, not another student's folder. Now find your files on the hard drive (Drive C) in the LEFT section, or, if you're using a diskette, find the files on your diskette (this is Drive A). When you find the folder and open it, select the file you want to upload and double click it to upload it. Or: you can click it once, then click the arrow pointing right to the server. The file will begin to upload. In most cases this should take between 2 and 4 seconds. Now you should see the file in your folder (RIGHT section). It is now published on the Web for the whole world to find and see. Now go to your Internet Browser and view your file on the Web by going to the class directory where you can click on your folder and then on the file: 409a: http://www.soc.hawaii.edu/leonj/409as2002 409b: http://www.soc.hawaii.edu/leonj/409bs2002 459: http://www.soc.hawaii.edu/leonj/459s2002 If you see you want to change something, go back to your hard drive or diskette, open the file in the original application you used to create your file (word processor, Front Page, Dreamweaver, etc.) and make the changes you want. Save it again (this is essential). Then upload the amended file. Since it has the same name as before it will automatically replace the old file with the latest version. Go to the Web with the Web browser and check what your file looks like now that it is published to the whole wide world. Make sure you try ALL the links to insure each one works properly. If not, go back to your word processor and fix the link. Save the file again (this is essential). Now upload this file again--it will replace the old version with the new. Now go back to your Web browser and see if the link is really fixed. Repeat this process until you fix links and improve on looks, fonts, and arrangement. Make sure you avoid dark backgrounds since this makes reading more difficult (lowers your grade). WARNING: Do not delete or alter other people's files and folders! LIFE SAVER 1: Always keep 2 copies of all your files in different places for safety (e.g., your hard drive and a diskette). LIFE SAVER 2: Always keep 2 copies of all
your files in different places for safety (e.g., your hard drive and a diskette). |

3) The due date for uploading your first file is Feb. 11, 12, and 14 respectively for the three courses--5 P.M. The file must be called home.html or home.htm). No other name is allowed. To create this file, use your word processor and save it as a Web HTML page. Type in the name of the file as home.htm (or .html). This file is your Home Page. It must contain links
(a) to each document you upload in your folder
(b) to the G16 class home page: www.soc.hawaii.edu/leonj/leonj/leonpsy16/g16classhome.html
(c) to the Instructor's Home Page: http://www.soc.hawaii.edu/leonj/leonj/leonpsy/leon.html
(d) to your email
Be sure all these links are present and work properly when you click on them in your Internet Browser.
4) The files in your folder you will upload later include:
home.htm (for your Home Page)
report1.htm (for your Report 1)
report2.htm (for your Report 2)
bookreview.htm (for the book review)
folders holding images or pictures
nothing else (delete extra things, do not leave them there)
5) Note that the FTP software allows you to make new forlders (or "directories"), delete folders and files, and RENAME them. For more on how FTP works you can read this FTP Tutorial
6) Every file you upload has a <title field> which is used by search engines. The content of the title field appears in the top left corner of the browser window--we don't often look there, but search engines do. The title field in word processors is accessed when you Save As...(Web or HTML) and click on Change Title on the dialog box. The home.htm title field should say The Home of your name or pseudonym, University of Hawaii, G16, Spring 2002
For the other files see instructions for those reports.
