How to open a connection to a remote server
Cyberduck works reasonably well with JAWS, which is why we'll be using it. There are other ways to connect to a sever, but we think this one is professional and should work well for you.
Before you can put files on your server, you need to make a connection between your computer and the server. The following steps will take you through this process.
- Unfortunatley, there's no notification when cyberduck first opens. Open Cyberduck and wait a few moments after opening the application, then press Insert + B to read the current window. If JAWS is focused on and reads cyberduck, you can move ahead.
- Type Control + O
- You will automatically be in a field named Server : enter your server name here
- press Tab two times to the Username field and enter your username
- press Tab once. You will be in the password field. Enter your password.
- Press enter
- you will get a dialog box that notifies you that your connection is insecure. This is ok. Select connect.
- after a few moments you will connect to your server. Once it connects it will read out the name of a folder. This folder should be your name. There are two other folders named logs and maildir, but you shoud ignore those. select the folder with your name.
- wait for about 15 seconds after opening the folder with your name. If you use the up and down arrows, JAWS should read a file name, index.html. This is the index of your website!
