Question:
How do I use my Web Folders to access Filebox or Web Hosting in Windows XP?

Answer:

Important: You must first add a Web Folder to connect to your filebox or hosting site. If you have not yet added a Web Folder, refer to article: Adding a Web Folder to Connect to Filebox or the Web Hosting Service in Windows XP (http://answers.vt.edu/kb/entry/2300/)

To use your Web Folder to connect to Filebox or Web Hosting:

  1. Go to your Web Folders.
  2. Click the Start button, and select My Computer.
  3. Under Other Places, click the My Network Places link.
  4. Double-click the Web Folders icon.
  5. Open your filebox or hosting Web Folder.
    • If you want to connect to your filebox, double-click the VT Filebox icon.
    • If you want to connect to your hosting site, double-click the VT Hosting icon.

    Note: If prompted:

    1. In the User Name text box, type your PID.

      Note: If you are a non-Virginia Tech affiliate, type the User ID that the owner of the filebox or hosting site assigned to you.

    2. In the Password text box, type your PID password.

      Note: If you are a non-Virginia Tech affiliate, type the password that the owner of the filebox or hosting site assigned to you.

    3. Click OK.
