11. Push the "right arrow button" to transfer your file.

12. Look to see if your file has appeared in the right frame. You may have to scroll if there are a lot of files.

Congratulations! You've just transfered your syllabus to the index.

Sometimes during the file transfer process, the FTP program will log you out automatically (usually when there is a lull in activity). To remedy this, simply push close then connect to reconnect. If you successfully saved the FTP settings, you should only have to press "OK" on the screen that comes up (and possibly the password). If not, refer to step 2 above.

If you are having a lot of difficulty, we will do it for you. Leave your disk with Barb.
