Uploading and Downloading Files for www.upenn.edu
Files that are served up by www.upenn.edu are actually housed on the
server origin.www.upenn.edu.
Access to your files on origin.www.upenn.edu is via FTP (File Transfer Protocol).
This means that you would create your HTML documents on another computer
and then FTP them up to origin.www.upenn.edu.
This process requires the use of a Kerberos-compliant
FTP client.
Steps needed:
- obtain and install a Kerberos-compliant FTP client
- Create your HTML document(s).
- FTP to origin.www.upenn.edu
- If prompted for your login ID, type in your PennKey
and password.
- Once logged on, you need to change to the "html" directory and then
to the subdirectory for which you have write permissions. When you change
to "html", you will see the list of all directories on www.upenn.edu but
you can only see the actual files in subdirectories for which you have
write permissions.
- You can now FTP your HTML files up.
Please note, that our access system will not grant access to any subdirectory
or individual file that is not world-readable. If you have questions about
setting permissions on files as your transfer them with FTP, please contact
your local support provider.
Supported FTP client software can be downloaded from the supported product web site.
