Your Cabrillo Instructional Website

Cabrillo provides a web site for all faculty. To setup your site, contact the TLC (x5030)

The URL for your site: http://www.cabrillo.edu/~firstinitiallastname

for example: Betty Boop's URL would be http://www.cabrillo.edu/~bboop

Be aware that publishing a web site is a complicated task that requires time, patience, and extreme attention to detail. Your mileage may vary. Batteries not included.

Allow plenty of lead-time to learn how to use the technology. Stop by the TLC for personalized assistance. We have templates you can use to jump-start your site.

Once you have created your site,you will need to use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to publish your files to your Cabrillo web site. Applications we recommend are Core (free for PC), or Fugu (for Mac) , an FTP utility program, and Dreamweaver, a website development program.

The FTP settings for your site are:

Access	FTP
FTP Host	www.cabrillo.edu
Host Directory	public_html
Login	firstinitiallastname [ e.g. bboop]
Password	your email password (3 numbers+word) [e.g. 266comic]
Be certain the option Use Passive FTP is not checked
