FTP

FTP

This experience with FTP was a little different than my experience in Instructional Technology. I remember using it, but it's been about four years since then. When we created our FTP sites in Instructional Tech, we just had to log onto it through the Fairmont State library site by clicking on a link and then typing in our UCA and passwords. Now when I got to the library site, it said I couldn't access it through the new Internet Explorer. So I followed the directions to open "My Documents" and type in in the address bar. First, I couldn't figure out what the address bar was and then I clicked "View" then "Toolbars" and found it. I didn't even know you could type URLs in this area. So I typed it in and of course, it didn't come up. So I went back to the library site and it said to try it under "My Computer". This time it finally worked!!!

I found all of my files from Instructional Technology from long ago. I dragged and dropped a new file in, and then tried to open it up in Internet Explorer with the URL that was given to us in Module 1. This, again, did not work. I noticed that there were two ".edu"s in the address given on the Module 1 site, so I deleted one of those and it worked. I hope it works now when I post it in my blog! I have refreshed my memory on FTP by doing this, and I have learned and accomplished new things with this. It's a wonderful tool to have. You can access it from almost anywhere that has internet access, and you can make files public very easily. The file you open is a Token Economy positive reinforcement punch card I created in my Undergraduate work.
