Connecting/Updating your Web site from off campus.

There are a number of different ways in which you can connect and update your Web site from off campus. Below are a few of the more regularly used methods. If these don't work or you have other issues, please contact the Webmaster for assistance.

Windows users with Internet Explorer and FrontPage

  1. Using Internet Explorer 7 open your web site.
  2. Choose 'Page > 'Edit with Microsoft FrontPage'
  3. Off campus you will be asked for your username and password. Your username should be entered with uwgreenbay\ before it. i.e. uwgreenbay\ganyardp
  4. FrontPage will open your web site and display the page that was open with you clicked on edit.
  5. Modify your file or any other file that is within your site.
  6. Save your file(s) and it will be saved on the server.
  7. Refresh your browser to see your changes.

Windows users with Dreamweaver

  1. Define a site choosing a local location on your computer for your files.
  2. Set the 'Remote Info' with the following settings:
    Access: FTP
    FPT host: www.uwgb.edu
    Host directory: this should be left blank
    Login: uwgreenbay\username (this is your campus username)
    Password: your password (this is your campus login password)
  3. You can choose 'Automatically upload file to server on save' and everytime you save a file the file will be uploaded to the server.
  4. If you don't choose the option in #3 then you will have to use the GET (green arrow) and PUT (blue arrow) functions. GET will pull the files from the server to your computer. PUT will place the files from your server to the Web server.
