In order to complete your first assignment, you'll need to upload your files to your web server. You'll need an FTP or SFTP ((secure) file transfer protocol) client application (Cyberduck, Fetch, Fugu, WS-FTP). NYU's ITS group has serveral pieces of software available for download for free including various text editors and SFTP clients. For this class, I would recommend using Cyberduck which you can get for free.
Once you have CyberDuck, follow these steps:
- Select "Open Connection".
- Change protocol to "SFTP".
- Server: You'll need to get this from your host. For this example scenario, it's
caroline.dreamhost.com
b/c I have a dreamhost account. You probably too but it might besomethingelse.dreamhost.com
. - Username: your username
- Password: your password
- Server: You'll need to get this from your host. For this example scenario, it's
- Click "connect".
- If you get a message saying "unknown fingerprint" click "allow" (and select "always").
- Once connected follow these steps
- Find the folder where you put files to be viewed on the web. For a dreamhost account, it'll be a folder with your domain (like "yourdomain.com")
- Drag your sketch folder to the directory. Perhaps your sketch folder is named "assignment1".
You can then go to the URL: http://mydomainthing.com/assignment1/ to view your homework.
