Creating FTP Connection

Dr Haskins, Here are some basic instructions on how to set up the Plaza FTP using Windows. These will not work for Mac’s though and they would need to use some kind of program like Fetch. ~~~~

Creating FTP Connection 1. Start -> My Network Places 2. On the left side under My Network Tasks is a link called "Add a Network Place" Click this.

3. This will open the Add Network Place wizard, click next on the first screen. 4. On The second screen you will want to select "Choose another Network Location", Click next 5. The next screen will prompt you to enter an Internet or Network address. Enter: ftp://plaza.ufl.edu and hit next.
