In order to manage content on the Biostatistics website, you will need to use an FTP/SSL connection to the webserver in order to transfer files back and forth. For this, you will need an FTP client that has SSL (encryption) features - CuteFTP is one that is licensed by UCLA and available from the BOL Software page.

You will also need an account on the web server. Please contact the helpdesk if you need one.

Using CuteFTP

When you start CuteFTP, cancel any "Use Wizard" or "Setup Connection" dialogs. From the main screen, click on the downward pointing arrow to the right of the flower document as shown here:

From the menu that appears, select FTP/SSL Site

In the connection dialog box that appears, fill out all relevant info (label, host address, username, and password) as indicated here:

Once it has been filled out, click the Connect button. You'll then be presented with a view of the web server's contents in the right side pane. You can drag files back and forth between the left side (which represents your own computer) and the right side as appropriate.

On subsequent uses of CuteFTP, you can select this "profile" via the Connection Manager that opens at launch.
