FileZilla

File Transfer Protocol. FileZilla is a program which allows for the transfer of information between hard drives. You can download and use this FTP free of charge. If you're having trouble finding FileZilla, look here.

When you execute the program, you will be prompted to information for Host, Username, Password and Port. The Host is tiger.towson.edu. The Username is your Towson login ID. The Password is your password. Leave the port blank.

The interface is quite simple. The screen on the left is your hard drive. The screen on the right is your virtual drive. When loading soundslides for example, simply drag the renamed publish_to_web folder from the left side of the screen to the right side of the screen.

Play around with FileZilla, it's a useful tool. I use FileZilla to upload html pages and soundslides onto the internet when I don't have access to my virtual drive on campus.
