Instructions for Uploading Files to Your NSU Web Space 1. Go to http://www.nova.edu/bin/public-html and enter your user name and password. This will create the "public" folder needed to allow other people to view files uploaded to your NSU web space. 2. Upload files to your web space using a client like Filezilla or by going to ftp://polaris.nova.edu/ . Make sure to place any files you want people to see online into your "public" folder. To use the ftp url above, you need to neter it in Internet Explorer, submit your username and password, and then select “ Open FTP Site in Windows Explorer” from the page drop-down menu in IE. 3.

(this will give you an index of any files in this space; if you have a file named “index.htm”, that file will be automatically opened; to navigate to a specific file you would write in the filename after your username).
