These instructions will connect you to the live www.marquette.edu Web server, also known as the production (PROD) server. If you do not use Adobe Contribute or Adobe Dreamweaver, you can map your Web server files to a drive and edit them directly. Otherwise, you can drag and drop files to the web folder in the mapped drive to make them public.
