To change your password:
- Connect to https://sws.lethbridgecollege.ca:8443
- Login using your s#, and your SWS password (Note: these accounts are NOT tied to ANY other accounts. Do NOT use the same password for SWS that you use for other services!!)
- When you login, you should be taken to the Change Password page automatically.
If not, select Change Password from under the Login menu on the left.
- Enter your current password, and new password (twice), and click Change Now
Passwords cannot contain your username, nor may they be "changed" to the current password.
- On the bottom of the left-hand column, select Sign out (the red arrow).
To view your web pages:
- Add a tilde (~) and your s# behind a slash (/) at the end of the address of this server - sws.lethbridgecollege.ca
Example: http://sws.lethbridgecollege.ca/~s0123456
To upload files:
- Download a sFTP (Secure FTP) client (WinSCP and/or FileZilla are good choices)
- Create a new profile (for later use), or type the information in
manually each time (up to you)!
- The host name is sws.lethbridgecollege.ca - or, you can use the IP address, 199.185.125.25
- Select the Protocol SFTP, AND make sure to change the port to 10022
**If you don't have the option of selecting your protocol, add SFTP:// to the beginning of the host name - sftp://sws.lethbridgecollege.ca
- Your username is your s#
- Your password is whatever you've changed your password to
- Your home directory is public_html; put your files in there. Your index
page needs to be index.html, or index.php.
**NOTE: File names are CASE-SeNsItIvE!
** NOTES:
Non-standard ports being blocked:
Some web browsers are being too "helpful" these days, and are blocking the use of non-standard ports (for example, potentially port 8080 - as used in the above link for password changes).
Luckily, there IS a way to make this work, but it's browser-dependant.
For Firefox, try this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1083282
For Edge, try this: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/fixed-problem-can-t-open-unsafe-ports-on-edge-insider/m-p/860884
For Chrome, try the same thing as for Edge, above!
