How do I access my user folder
from off-campus
(Can also be used on-campus)
– Use File Transfer Protocol
Example: ftp://www.jma.duq.edu/users/shepherd/
– You may be prompted for your user name and
password
– Best to enter the above command in the
address bar of any application; except i.e. I use
“Computer” application

• Like http:, FTP is a protocol --a set of
rules -If prompted for your user name and

Credentials
Adding a JMA501 folder inside
Pub folder
Path to pub:
www.jma.duq.edu/users/LoginName/pub
Double-click your Z: drive
This places you inside users/YourloginName folder
Browse to pub
Right-click in a white area
Choose Create>New folder
Name it JMA501
Browser URLs (Uniform Resource
Locator)
Note: Index.htm is special file …what’s special?
The URL (path) to a page in your web site (in pub) .depends on how
you structured your folders
URL= Universal Resource Locator
Example
http://www.jma.duq.edu/users/shepherd/pub/JMA501/FileName.htm
Assuming your file name is index.htm in the JMA501 folder the
address would be:
http://www.jma.duq.edu/users/shepherd/pub/jma501
– Can do away with http, and index.htm …why?
www.jma.duq.edu/users/shepherd/pub/jma501
