How do I transfer (upload or download) files between my PC and a remote system (Nova or Polaris)?
” Files transferred using WS-FTP will automatically have the correct permission settings needed. NOTE: text files need to be transferred in ASCII mode and image files need to be transferred in binary mode. As an alternative to creating your text files on your PC and transferring them to Polaris or Nova, a text editor on Polaris or Nova can be used to create your text files. You would still need to transfer image files to your www directory from your PC. Using one of the editors on Polaris or Nova (such as vi, jed, pico and emacs) , create a document in your www directory named “index.html”. You need to make sure that all of the files in the www directory have world read and execute privileges set (which means they can be read by anyone).
