About your CUIP Web Account

You will be given a username (or login) and password. Please write these down and save them in a safe place. You will need them to upload your hotlist and webquest, and to make any revisions or updates.

To log into your CUIP account, use Internet Explorer (or use other FTP client; see below) and do the following:

• type ftp://cuip.net into the address bar of Internet Explorer
• you will be prompted to enter a username and password
• enter your assigned cuip username and password
• you will automatically be logged into the root directory of your cuip account
• notice the "www" folder; this is the folder that any files accessible via http:// (normal web browsing) must be within
• double-click on the "www" folder to open it
• to put files into the folder, simply copy and paste them one by one or in groups from the Windows Explorer or Mac Finder into the Internet Explorer window.
• to get files from the server, simply copy and paste them one by one or in groups
• you can also use various options on the Internet Explorer menus
• to end the FTP session, simply choose File | Close.
• email Craig with any remaining questions

Additionial information about your account is available here. (NOTE: you will need to replace "dduck" with your username and use your password, not Mr. Duck's! Also, "webinstituteforteachers.org" and "cuip.net" are equivalent in all circumstances.)

If you wish to use a more robust FTP program to transfer files to and from your CUIP account, I suggest SSH Secure File Transfer (for the PC), a version of which is available here (and a manual for which is available here.) On a Mac, use Fetch, available here.

Your account can be used to send and receive email. For more information about using CUIP WebMail, click here.
