1. Use secure ftp to connect to ftp.judylab.org
2. cd to /Wiki_Uploads
3. Locate directory to store files
   • Note: there are two directory trees in which wiki content is stored. One is for wiki documents and the other is for everything else that we upload via ftp or the built-in wiki-upload button. The file structures of each directory tree are intentionally the same (i.e., same folder names, etc.) and this should be continued if and when you feel necessary to create mote folders.
4. IMPORTANT: The names of all uploaded files must follow this naming convention
   • no capital letters
   • no spaces (use the “_” underscore character instead)
   • avoid use of symbols and characters other than: “a”-”z”, “0”-”9”, “_”, “-”
   • file permissions should not need to be manipulated (default works great)
   • instead of using pairs of square bracktes (”[”) to enclose a link, use pairs of curley brackets (”{”) to define a link to this other directory tree for uploaded files

• Wiki Security Plan
• What to do and what not to do

The rest of the pages require a successful login to view and edit them. Such secured pages are marked with a lock icon ().
