FTP Access To Student Web Directories

All Lambuth University students are allowed to have a directory under http://stu.lambuth.edu/ for their class work and for light personal usage. This guide will help you log in to the FTP service and upload your pages.

Note: If you are already in a class which requires you to use this web-space, your professor should have already sent the webmaster a list of students in your class, and your account should already be created. If you are not in such a class, you will need to request an account by clicking here.

For security reasons, FTP access is only available from within Lambuth University's local network. You will not be able to access this service from outside of Lambuth.

Important Information Regarding Your Account Details

Your FTP username is the same as your email username. Here is an explanation of how your username is formatted:

Your password is your full Student ID number. If you would like to change this to something else, you will need to email the webmaster, Dan Lapoint, at lapoint@lambuth.edu.

Once your account has been created and you have uploaded files to your directory, you and anyone else can view your pages at http://stu.lambuth.edu/~yourusername1234/. This part is accessible from outside Lambuth's network, so don't put any information in your directory that you wouldn't want the whole world to know!

Just like your Lambuth email address, your web directory will be available for 5 years, at which point it will be deleted from the server. If you would like to be mailed a CD with the contents of your web directory after you leave Lambuth University, you may request it via email or telephone from the webmaster.

Your account will have a server-enforced disk quota of 20 megabytes. If you reach this quota, you will not be able to upload any additional files until you reduce the amount of disk space your directory is using.

Connecting to the FTP service

First, you will need an FTP client program. Personally, I recommend using FileZilla. It's free, and it works on Windows, MacOS X, and Linux. You can download the program at filezilla-project.org, and install it on your computer. If you are in a class which requires you to use the FTP service, FileZilla will already be installed on the lab computers.

The following images should adequately illustrate how to use FileZilla to upload files to your web directory:
