Contact your departmental computing coordinator or IT Center if you have any questions about your User ID or the correct formatting. Upon successful login, users with a UFL tree home folder will be placed in that folder by default. From there you can navigate in a folder environment similar to the Windows Explorer or Network Neighborhood. We have seen an anomaly in older versions of WS-FTP where it does not allow navigation around folders that have spaces in their names. If you have this problem, please obtain a newer version of the program from your coordinator or from the WS-FTP page at the UF SODA Shoppe .
Most ftp clients have the ability to target a specific host directory on login.
Many users have found that this makes it much easier get into a recognizable area of the server with subsequent logins - it substantially reduces the amount of bouncing up and down in the directory structure you need to do if you go to the same place for most of your ftp transfers.
