2. Start Win FTP
   1. Click on Start.
   2. Choose "Programs".
   3. Choose "LAN Net Apps".
   4. Choose "Win FTP".
   Note: Some computers will not have Win FTP already installed; use the WinInstall program (on the LAN desktop) to install Win FTP.
3. A window will be displayed in which you will fill in the host, userid, and password for the computer to which you wish to connect. In this case, the Host will be ns.cc.lehigh.edu, the User ID will be your user ID, and the Password will your password to that user ID.
   1. In the Host: box, type cs.cc.lehigh.edu
   2. In the UserId: and Password: boxes, type your Network Server ID and Password
   3. In the Initial Directory box, type /ahome/userid/public/www-data/
4. After you have filled in the 4 fields, click on Connect to open the connection to the Computer Server.
5. When you get connected (it may take a few seconds), the window will show your local (microcomputer) files and directories on the left, and your remote (AFS) files and directories on the right.

Part 6.2: Use the Local PC info display to locate the file you saved

8. The file should be called c:\links.htm. To view the contents of the c: drive, on the Local PC info side, click on ChgDir and enter c:\ for the local directory name. Then click on Okay.
9. The directories and files will be listed, directories in the top box, files in the lower box. Find the file links.htm and single click it to highlight it.

Part 6.3: Transfer the file

10. By default, this particular ftp program will transfer files in binary mode. Change the mode to ascii by clicking the radio button next to ASCII near the bottom of the window.
11. Click the lower arrow between the file displays for the two hosts to signify that you want to transfer files from the local (PC) host to the remote (AFS via the Network Server) host. This will start the transfer.
12. When the transfer is complete, the file links.htm will appear in the remote host listing. The file has been transferred.
13. Close the ftp connection, click Close. You should see the connection close in the message window.
14. Exit the Win FTP program, click Exit.
