Getting Started
To use web space/home.ubalt.edu, you need:
- Your NetID: You need to know your NetID and password to access your Web space. This is the same login information used for UBalt e-mail, the MyUB Portal. If you do not know it, you can look up your username and reset your password at mypw.ubalt.edu, or contact the OTS Call Center.
- File Transfer Software: You will need some way to upload and download files between the Web server and the computer you are using. You can use a variety of methods outlined below. FTP software must support SFTP file transfers; OTS recommends FileZilla for Windows. This is free software. For more information, see the FileZilla section below.
- Web Authoring Software: You will determine the software you use to write your Web pages. You may write them in a text editor such as NotePad or web authoring software such as Macromedia Dreamweaver.
