How Do I FTP using my Browser? There are a number of ways to FTP files to the server. Here is a simple way that works with Internet Explorer and requires no special FTP software. To upload to your personal web server: In the address box, type: ftp://research.kent.edu/public_html/ Press <enter> A log in window will open. The userid is your Flashline (Kent State email) userid. The password is your Flashline password, the one you use to log in with at: http://flashline.kent.edu/ An IE window will open, showing the contents of your public_html folder on the server. If it is blank, that just means you haven't uploaded any files to it. Open Windows Explorer or My Computer and browse to the files you want to upload. You can either drag and drop the files and folders into the public_html window in IE, or you can copy and paste them there. The files and folders automatically publish. You are Done. To view your web pages, go to the following URL: http://www.personal.kent.edu/~userid/ ...where "userid" is your @kent.edu userid, the same one you used to log on with. If your home page file is called index.htm or index.html, you home page will appear. If your home page file is called anything else, then you must add the name of the file in its exact form to the end of the URL and refresh the screen.
