FTP & Webspace
Web Page & FTP Server Space Information
Server space for web pages and FTP is automatically provided for staff when you activate your Connections account. If you do not already have a Connections account and are a current Webster staff you may obtain one using the instructions above regarding email. Specific instructions in uploading to your web space can be found in one of the questions below.

To find out your email server, go to http://connections.webster.edu/myaccount and login with your Connections username and password. After logging in, click on the link that says “Settings for my desktop e-mail program”. Whatever is listed for incoming and outgoing server will be your FTP Host/Server name.
