Installing FTP Software

First you will need FTP software to be able to upload your podcast file. The software that you will need to download and install is at this location (click link).

Click the download icon next to FileZilla (not the BETA or Server Version). Now you will see a list of files to choose from, select the FileZilla setup.exe file to download. Once selected you will see a window pop up to save the file. Save the installer to your desktop or to another location that you are familiar with on your computer. Now navigate to the file you downloaded and run the installer. The default settings for the installer are fine so click next and ok until the installation is complete.

Uploading the Podcast

On the desktop you should see a shortcut now to run FileZilla; run it. To configure FileZilla, you will need to enter the server address for your username and password. If you do not know this information please contact your department system administrator or support@iddl.vt.edu.

Once you are logged in, the file(s) can be uploaded easily:

• First, navigate to the location of the file you want to upload on the left side of the window.
• Second, navigate to where you want to place the file on the right hand side of the window.
• Third, move the file from your computer to the server (left to right) by copying and pasting or by simply clicking and dragging. Once the transfer is finished, the upload is complete.
