Opening a Web Location

After logging on to MSFP, you will need to open a web location in order to access the page you want to edit.  To do this, simply click "file" on the toolbar across the top of your screen.  When you do this, you will see an option to "open web."  This simply means to open an existing file located on a web server in order to access it for editing.  The graphic below illustrates this step of the process.

 

When you click this, a window will appear prompting you to enter a web location.  It is now that you will need to
type your website URL (Uniform Resource Locator).  For example, I would type the following to open my page:  http://www.columbus.k12.nc.us/ges.



 Afterwards, click "open."  An authentication window will appear next, in which
you will be prompted to enter your authentic username and password. 

Upon doing so, you will be directed to your server, where you will locate you folder
containing any and all pages you have/will develop.  The screen will appear as follows:

 

Now you are on your way to developing your page.  Next, we will discuss the
