We have created an area for students to save files for class!! Each student has 50MB of space to save documents and files, and these files are able to be accessed not only from the SAU labs, but anywhere in the world.

There are two ways with which you can access your files from your home directory.  The first way to access your files is to use internet explorer.  To do this you have to have a version of Internet Explorer that is 5.5 or newer.  The next steps will help you to connect to your online directory and give you access to your files.

  Step 1:  Open up Internet Explorer

  Step 2:  Type in ftp://username@stuhome.sau.edu

            Here is an example of your username mh8888888

  Step 3:   After hitting enter a popup window will appear and it will ask you to enter your password.  Enter your password and it will take you to your folder containing your files.  Also, make sure where it says user name it says ambrose/username.

   Step 4:  Now when you see a bunch of folders find the one that has your username on it and double click to get to your files.

The other way to access your files is via a FTP program which allows you to upload and download files from your directory. WS_FTP is the standard FTP program used for PC and Fetch for Mac’s.

Directions for using a client FTP program.

Step 1:  Open FTP program.

Step 2:  In the host name/address field enter stuhome.sau.edu

Step 3:  In the User ID field enter in ambrose\username

Step 4:  Enter in your password.

Step 5:  Click connect.

Step 6:  Find the folder that has your username and double click to view your files.

Once the files have appeared you can copy, move, delete or save to any of your files on that drive.  We ask that you keep all files to be of an academic nature.  For convenience you can save this page in your Favorites and it will make it easier for you to log in.
