Step 1: Session Properties

Figure 1

Launch the wsftp application. You should see the window illustrated above (Figure 1) but most of your fields should be empty. Enter the following information:

• Profile Name: TDL Web Server
• Host Name/Address: shells32.tdl.com
• Host Type: Automatic detect
• User ID: your login name
• Password: your password

If you prefer you can check "Save Pwd." which will save your password so you won't have to enter it every time you use ws_ftp. If you share your computer with someone else you may not want to check that. Make sure that you DO NOT check "Anonymous."

Step 2: Connect

Now you're ready to connect. Click on OK. You'll see a window that looks similar to Figure 2, below:
