 | For Windows Users: |
To access our ftp server using Windows, open a browser by double-clicking on "My Computer" or right-clicking on "My Computer" or the Start menu and selecting "Open" or "Explore". Make sure the address bar is visible. If the address bar is not visible then right-click in the gray space by the menu and toolbar and put a check mark by "Address Bar." Make sure the full path is visible in the address bar by clicking on Tools->Folder_Options->View and ensuring the box next to "Display the full path in the address bar" is checked.
In the address bar type "ftp.geourbanomics.com" and hit enter. After a short wait you will likely get an error message saying that windows cannot access this folder. Ignore it and hit "Ok."
To make it easier to find this site in the future you may bookmark it by clicking on the "Favorites" menu at the top of the window and selecting "Add to Favorites..." Choose an appropriate name for the bookmark, such as "Geo Urbanomics" and hit "Ok." You may now easily return to our ftp server by opening a browser and choosing this bookmark from the "Favorites" menu.
Right-click somewhere in the white space, select 'Login As...' and fill in the user name and password we provided to you. Remember that your user name will always be followed by "@geourbanomics.com", eg "your_name@geourbanomics.com". Click "Log On" and you're ready to go! Now you can click, drag, copy and paste files and folders to and from this window.
