Once you have designed your web pages, you will need to upload them to your www directory on Spots

From ON campus to view your entire folder: Login to a campus computer. From the desktop, double click My Computer and select the Z drive (<your User name> on (Z:)).

All your folders will be displayed and you can drag and drop or copy and paste into the appropriate folder.

From OFF Campus:   Use a secure FTP (File Transfer Protocol) software package to transfer files between your off campus computer and your on-campus JagNET Z: space.  Instructions are available at:

IMPORTANT:  Your WWW folder is public, so you should only put documents there that “the world” can see.

Your primary file (this is the first page that a person would see when logging on to your web site) must be named one of the following: Welcome.html, welcome.html, default.htm, index.html, or index.htm.

To view your new web page go to http://spots.aug.edu/<your User name>  For Example: if your User name is tbear, then your web page URL is http://spots.aug.edu/tbear

Get linked for official pages

If your pages are official unit pages, notify the Webmaster at webmaster@aug.edu when your primary page is uploaded. The webmaster is responsible for providing a link from the ASU home pages to your primary page. You are responsible for providing links within the primary page to all other unit pages.

Secure FTP to Web Account Requirements

It has become necessary to use "Secure FTP" as the connection method to transfer files to and from accounts on our Web server (www.aug.edu).

Note: Users of your site will not need to change how they view your site. Normal browsing and downloading files from links are not changing. Only the procedures for placing on or updating files within a Web site are changing.

This change will require you to make appropriate settings within your page creation software (like Dreamweaver) to select Secure FTP as your method of sending your changes to the Web server. If you have someone else creating your Web pages, that person will need to be informed of this!!

As of Wednesday, September 24, 2008, ALL file transfer connections to accounts on www.aug.edu from OFF-CAMPUS must use "Secure FTP" instead of "FTP". The required change may be done immediately; you do not have to wait until the deadline to alter your settings!

  • You may wish to change ON-CAMPUS computers also to use Secure FTP. While ON-CAMPUS connections may continue to use FTP at the present, you should expect this to be changed to require Secure FTP sometime in the not too distant future.
  • If your page creation software does not support Secure FTP, remember that you can use the free "CoreFTP" program to transfer or maintain your files on the Web server.

Dreamweaver users:

From inside Dreamweaver:

  1. Select "Site", "Manage sites", your site name, "Edit"
  2. Select "Remote info", checkmark "Use Secure FTP (SFTP)"
  3. Click "OK", and "Done" to finish.

You can now work as you normally would and Dreamweaver will manage the rest. Dreamweaver will “remember” this setting; you do not have to set it each time you use the program.
