Step 1 - Launch WS_FTP LE by clicking on the 'Start' button and then selecting 'Programs', then 'WS_FTP', and then 'WS_FTP95 LE'.
Step 2 - Connecting to an FTP site:
When WS_FTP LE first launches, it opens the Session Properties window. Here is where you select which FTP site you want to connect to for this 'session'.
From this Session Properties window, click on the New button.
All fields should go blank. Now you can create a new FTP site 'Profile'. The following information is what you'll need to connect to an FTP site:
| Profile Name | THE FTP SITE NAME |
| Host Name/Address | THE FTP ADDRESS |
| User ID | YOUR USER NAME |
| Password | YOUR PASSWORD |
Enter these values into the 'Session Properties'.
| Profile Name | TNCC Distance Web |
| Host Name/Address | tncc.vccs.edu |
| User ID | tncc.net/LastF |
| Password | YOUR PASSWORD |
Be sure to check 'Save Password' so that you don't have to re-enter it every time you go to connect. Now click the Apply button. Congratulations, you have successfully created an 'FTP Profile' in WS_FTP LE!
Now Click on the OK button and WS_FTP LE will connect you to your site. If you have speakers on your computer, you'll hear a sound when you've successfully connected.
Your screen should now look something like this:
The left-hand side is a
view of the files on your 'Local System' (your computer). The
right-hand side is a view of the files on the 'Remote System'
(Internet site).
To transfer files between the left and right side, highlight a file and click on one of the two arrows located in between the panes.
Note: The default view of your Local System (left pane) is 'C:\Program Files\WS_FTP'. You can move up to 'C:\Program Files' by double-clicking the green up-arrow. To move up to to 'C:\', double-click the up arrow again. To change to another drive letter, scroll down and double-click on any available drive.
