Configuring and Using WS_FTP For testbed.uvi.edu 
 This page will take you step-by-step through the process of
configuring WS_FTP to transfer files back and forth between your local computer
and testbed.uvi.edu. The following instructions assume that 
you are already connected to the internet. If you can use a web browser 
or check your email, you are connected.     
                    
   Step 1 - Install 
WS_FTP       
Download WSFTP LE from Ipswitch or
 Tucows into a known directory then install the software.  
 There is a pro version but get the light (LE) as it is free and does all you need.
I suggest you use Windows Explorer to create a folder named downloads.
Accept all the default settings.
Step 2 - Start / Configure 
WS_FTP      
When you launch WS_FTP you will be 
automatically taken to the session profile that looks something like                  
 
 
Complete your Session Properties using 
  | Profile Name | UVI Testbed | 
  | Host Name/Address | testbed.uvi.edu | 
  | Host Type | Automatic Detect | 
  | User ID | ClassName (I.E. CIS310 or CIS357) | 
  | Password | ClassName | 
 
                                   
Once these settings are correct, click 
the OK button to connect to your testbed.uvi.edu account.               
That's it. You should not have to 
install or configure WSFTP again. You may wish to place a shortcut to the 
program in your program or computer folder.                             
Step 3 - Moving Files Back And 
Forth       
Once you click the OK button your 
sreen should look something like this:              

The window on the left side shows the contents of the
disk on your local system, and the window on the right shows the testbed.uvi.edu home 
directory. To move files, select the file you wish to move, then click once on 
the arrow between the two columns which points in the direction that you wish to 
transfer the file.
