Accessing the File Manager in Faculty Web

Limited Support

OIT can only assist customers with accessing their File Manager or FTP credentials. Customer's must upload content on their own. OIT is unable to troubleshoot web content customer's upload to their Faculty Web account.

Faculty Web offers the ability to upload files directly into your hosting account. You may do this if you build your website in a third-party application, such as Adobe Dreamweaver.

Uploading Files with FTP

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) allows you to upload files directly to your website without using File Manager. You may use this with third-party applications to simplify the uploading process.

  1. Go to your Faculty Web Dashboard
  2. In the top menu, hover over Manage Your Account
  3. Select FTP Information
