|
You may need to click you browser's "Refresh" button after that, but not necessarily. | |
| if you are a faculty |
ftp://faculty.academic.nysid.net | You should be presented with a dialog box asking for the ID and password. Use your school's ID (login name) and the password. These are the ones you use at school. If you do not remember what they are (I do not know how that can happen but...), click here. |

2. The slightly-more-difficult-but-always-works way |
||
|
|
|
|
| After you connect with internet, using your ISP, such as AOL, open the DOS window and... | type ftp /enter/, and then open ftp.nysid.net /enter/. You will be asked for username and password. These are your school's credentials, that you use to log into the school's computer system. You should be informed that you are logged into ftp.nysid.net. You are now in your "S" drive, otherwise known as "your account". Next thing you have to do is to navigate through the directory structure, within your account, to find the file you want. When you locate it (dir /enter/ command can come handy) you can download it to your machine by executing first the "bin /enter/" command, to switch to binary mode (text mode is default, for some reason), and then the "get filename /enter/" (filename has to be spelled exactly the way you see it on your screen, after issuing the dir /enter/) command. get filename is going to put the file onto your home computers hard drive. When you are done execute close /enter/ and quit /enter/commands. You will go back to DOS. The file you downloaded will be there - in the very place you have emerged from ftp interface to. |
