1. Edit your HTML file in Notepad. Be sure to save as a .html file and not a .txt file and save to the Z: drive.
2. Transfer your file to ares.cs.siena.edu using WinSCP. Log in using your SoS userid and password. Make sure you choose the public_html directory on ares before copying your HTML file(s).
3. If your username is jj35cool, your pages will have the URL

Computer Science department tutors are here to help!
- Tutors are to help you figure out how to solve a problem (but they will not solve your problems for you).
- Tutors are in Roger Bacon 350 Sunday through Thursday evenings.
- Two of the CS tutors are 010 "specialists": Ryan Ziegler and Caitlin Sanchez. Caitlin is available Mondays 6-9 and Thursdays 6-10, and Ryan is available Tuesdays 7-9 and Wednesdays 6-9.
- If the tutors are helping other students, please be patient.
- Photos of the tutors will be posted on the bulletin board in the lab to help you to identify them.
- You must sign the tutoring log for every question that you need help on. The number of entries help justify the tutoring budget, so if you value this service, please be sure to credit the tutors!
