Using the above Hostname, your netid, and password, you should be able to open a secure-shell application to your account for file transfer and terminal window access. FTP and Telnet are not considered secure, becuase they send the password in plain text and make it easy for someone to hack into the server. You will need to use sftp/scp and ssh instead.
This means on a PC, instead of using WinFTP or CuteFTP, use something like WinSCP For ssh instead of telnet, use something like PuTTY
On a Mac, Use Fetch 5 with sftp, use FUGU For ssh open a terminal window and type: ssh netid@itp.nyu.edu

In order for your files to be Web accessible (viewable through a Web browser), you'll need to upload your files into your /public_html/ directory.

http://itp.nyu.edu/~netid/somdir/ will automatically display the index.htm or index.html file in your /public_html/somedir/ directory.
If you do not have an index.htm/index.html file, you will not be able to view anything, unless you go directly to a file by typing in the full path:\\
