How To Connect to the Image Arts FTP server
Your Image Arts account gives you access to a networked folder with 1 GB of space where you can store files and host your web site. Basically, anything you put in that folder will be web-accessible. There is no need for a "public_html" folder. All you need to do is put an index.html file there and voila, you have a website.
Your web URL will be http://www.imagearts.ryerson.ca/username, for example http://www.imagearts.ryerson.ca/dbouchard
To upload files, you can access your web space using an FTP client. There are lots of good, free FTP clients. I like FileZilla.
The host name is "imagearts.ryerson.ca". Your username is the initial of your first name + your full lastname. For example, my username is "dbouchard". Your password is the last 7 digits of your student ID. Your accounts have all been created already. If for some reason you don't have an account, Fred Payne can create one for you.
If you simply connect to the FTP server, you will end up in the "root" directory of the server. Your personal folders are located under "fmpm09/".
Either change to that directory manually (it will not appear, but you should be able to change to it by entering it in "Remote site") or set that as the starting remote directory. (In FileZilla, use the Site Manager. When you create a new site, go to the Advanced tab. There's a field there called "Default Remote Directory" where you can put "fmpm09". You can also put your own folder directly there, so you don't have to find it every time. For example: "fmpm09/dbouchard"
