Web Server FTP Instructions 

To place/upload your HTML documents and graphic/media files on the web server, you will need to use an FTP client such as FileZilla. The FTP client requires:

1. A FTP host address. Use 216.125.170.82 if off campus or 10.0.170.82 if on campus
2. A username and password: use your JJC username and password. If you need help recovering your username and/or password, see the Password help page.
3. A Path or Root directory: if left blank you will be placed in the root directory of your web site on the web server.

Please Note: Routers

Users behind a router may need to configure their FTP client to use their external IP address to connect to the FTP server. Instructions for settings this up on FileZilla are as follows:

Edit Network Configuration Wizard > Active Mode > Next > Use External IP > Next > Get external IP address from the following URL (leave default) > Ask operating system for a port > Next > Test > Finish

Important:
Do not configure your FTP client for a "passive" connection. Passive connections will fail.

Please Note: Firewalls

Users behind a firewall will need to configure their program, depending on the Operating System and FTP program, to allow access. The best way to determine configuration is to search for your particular OS, and firewall exception (i.e. Windows XP firewall exception, Windows Vista firewall exception, etc).

About files

The FTP client will "PUT" files from your local directory structure to your own personal student Web site on the Web server. Make sure the HTML documents transfer as text and the graphic/media files as binary/raw data. Once the files are transferred to your own personal student Web site on the Web server, you will be able to access them with the following URL: http://www3.jjc.edu/ftp/(semester)/(User Name)/(path/file name) where the (file name) is the file name of the HTML document you are trying to access. If the (file name) is omitted the Web server will try to serve a file called "default.htm"

Default pages should be named either index or default with a file extension of any of the following:

• .html
• .htm
• .asp
• .aspx
• .php
