| Â | Â | Â |
| Â | Â | Get File Transfer Protocol (FTP) program |

| Â TIPS | Â | Â Set Up FTP Client to Access Server |
| Step 3 You might want to create a file to put your downloaded information into |  | Now that you have your FTP program you must set it up so that you can access the server to download your web page and make your changes. With Cute FTP. With it you can use the "Connection Wizard" (located in the "file" pull down once you are in the program) or the "Site Manager" (also located in the "file" pull down menu). The wizard will ask you for a number of items of information. The only items of information that matter are FTP host address, the username, and the password. All the information you need to access your page is as follows: FTP Host Address   ewh.ieee.org FTP Site username   username (your site username see Step 1) FTP Site password   password (your site password see Step 1) |

| Â | Â | Â Access the Web Server to Download Web Page |
| Step 4 |  | Once you have inputted the information you are ready to connect to the server. To do this you must be connected to the internet. Next simply click or select connect on your ftp program to connect to the IEEE server. The program should go through a couple of steps and then connect you to the server. |

| TIPS | Â | Â Download Page From the Server |
| Step 5 At this point it might be wise to save a copy of your page as something else like "Original page" or something like that. This is to ensure that you will have your original page should you find a mistake after you have already uploaded it to the server (and erased the original). |  | At this point you should be connected to IEEE server. The FTP client should have a running log that tells you your username and password were accepted and that you are connected. Somewhere on your FTP client should be a split screen of some sort. On the left are the files in your computer. On the right are the files on the server. On the server side there should be a number of file icons, a picture file called image31.gif, and a HTML file called index.html. index.html is your PES chapter web page file. To download select the file and choose "Download" from the "Transfer" file, or simply drag the file from the server files to your own. You have successfully downloaded you page. |

| Â | Â | Â Edit and Update Your Page |
| Step 6 | Â | Now that you have downloaded your page, it can now be edited and changed to fit your needs. The ease of this depends on which browser you are using - A more recent version of Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer. If you have Netscape, check and see if you have a version that allows you to edit the page without having to deal with any HTML. To check this go to your "File" menu on your Netscape browser and select "Edit Page" (if you can). This should open up a new page in Netscape that allows you to edit the page with your mouse and keyboard. |

| TIPS | Â | Â Upload Information To Server |
| Step 7 The reason you want upload the document form your desktop is to eliminate any possibility of your file root extensions transfering with the document to the server. Â | Â | Now that you have edited and updated your page, you are ready to upload it to the server. Make sure that your document is named index.html before proceeding. Once again you must be connected to the internet. Since you have set up your FTP client to access the IEEE server all you need now is to connect. Make sure your file is on your computer's desktop before you proceed (see tip left). Once you are connected to the server, all you need is to upload the file, either by dragging it to the right or by selecting "Upload" under the "Transfer" file pulldown. Disconnect from the server and see if it worked. Check it out on the Web. You can connect to the chapter links page here. |
