File Upload using the DePaul Virtual Machine

These directions do not use the DePaul OneDrive.

These directions use the term directory to mean folder.

  1. Create a zipfile of the project that you wish to upload. Initially, you can use the zipfile that you submitted for Project 0,for example proj0smith.zip, which contains the zipped directory proj0smith. This directory contains these files:
    index.html
    styles.css
    proj1a
    index.html proj1b index.html
  2. Access the DePaul Virtual Machine using the URL
          rdweb.wvd.microsoft.com/arm/webclient
    Click on the DePaul Virtual Lab -- Windows 11 window.
    Leave the In Session Settings Printer, File Transfer, and Clipboard checked, scroll down and click Connect. Sign in with your DePaul email address and BlueKey (CampusConnect) password.
  3. In the Virtual Lab Search Textfield at the bottom, enter Windows Explorer. Be sure to use the Search Textfield on the Virtual Machine, not the Search Textfield on your local computer.
  4. File the File Transfer Icon in the the Virtual Lab ToolBar at the top. This icon looks like acloud with down and up arrows. Click on it. Select the zipfile to upload and click the Upload Button. The uploaded zipfile will be located in the Uploads directory of the Remote Virtual drive on the RDWebClient of This PC.
  5. If you haven't done this already, create an it238 directory in the Documents directory of the Virtual Machine. Copy the zipfile in the Uploads directory to the Documents/it238 directory.
  6. Unzip your zipfile.
  7. Open FileZilla in the Virtual Lab. Again, make sure that you are opening FileZilla on the Virtual Lab, not on your local machine. Close the Install new version window. (You need administrator privileges to install the new version of FileZilla.)
  8. Use this information to connect to the studentweb server:
    Host: sftp://studentweb.cdm.depaul.edu
    Username: ssmith (use your BlueKey (CampusConnect) username
    Password: (use your BlueKey (CampusConnect) password
    Port: not needed
    Click on the Quick Connect button; click OK for the Unknown host key Window.
    On the Remote Site, you should be located in the directory
    home/sjost/public_html
    Create the new directory it238 by right clicking in the Remote Site window and selecting Create Directory and enter it.
    On the Local Site window, go to
    Documents/it238/proj0smith
  9. Drag files and directories from the Local Site to the Remote Site.
    Caution: do not drag your files from the Local Site and place them on top of a directory on the Remote Site. This will place the files inside that directory. Instead, place them on top of a file or onto empty space.
  10. If necessary, you can right click on a file or directory and select Delete. You can also create a new directory by right clicking in the Remote Site Window and selecting Create Directory or Create Directory and enter it.
