📖 Uploading Files to the Class Server

We have a Web server set up for this class. For each lab you will be uploading your lab files to your folder on the course web server. The URL of the Website is http://2learnweb.brookhavencollege.edu. Each of you has a folder under your avatar name where you can publish your documents. You may use any ftp client (such as Filezilla) to upload your pages. If you are not familiar with ftp or do not have an ftp client, you may use one of the following:

To Upload a File Using Filezilla

You can download the Filezilla program for free from: http://filezilla-project.org/. Instructions on using FileZilla can be found on the FileZilla Wiki at https://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Using.

  1. Go to http://filezilla-project.org/ and click on the link for Download Filezilla Client.
  2. Click on the appropriate platform to download the installation file.
  3. Follow the instructions to install the software. It is pretty self-explanatory, but if you need help, view the documentation at http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Client_Installation

Once the software is installed, you can upload your files as follows:

  1. Open Filezilla
  2. Under hostname, enter the name of the assigned server.

2learnweb.brookhavencollege.edu (for all web classes)

  1. Under username, enter your username located in your CIT student account.
  2. Under password, enter your password located in your CIT student account.
  3. Click Quickconnect
  4. Browse Local Site (on the left) to where you have stored your web page.
  5. Leave Remote Site as is with the /. In ftp, you are automatically taken to your folder on the server. You do not have rights to go anywhere else. Everything you put here will be accessible from a web browser using https://2learnweb.brookhavencollege.edu/username/
  6. The first time you connect, your site will be empty since you have not uploaded any files yet.
  7. In the local site panel, click on the file(s) that you want to upload.
  8. Drag the file over to the right-hand side under remote site (or double-click the filename).
  9. You file should now show up on the remote site.

You only have to do the software download and account set up one time. Once it is set up all you have to do to upload files is:

  • Click Quickconnect and select your login id from the dropdown list. It should reconnect you using your login credentials.
  • If you ever need to download files from the server to your computer, drag the files from the right-hand side to the left or double-click the filename.

To view your page, enter https://2learnweb.brookhavencollege.edu/username/filename in the (URL) address bar.

Important Note: Be sure to upload your page and any images that you have on your page. If your image files are stored in an Images folder on your computer, you will need to create an Images folder to put them in on the server as well.

Be sure to test your page after it has been uploaded to insure it displays properly. You may view your page at the following URL: https://2learnweb.brookhavencollege.edu/username/filename where username is your assigned username and filename is your html file (i.e. index.html).
