Logging on to your BMCC mmp server Account

User ID and password:

1. If you are a new student, your userid should be the same as your user id for BMCC email. If you have taken an mmp course at BMCC before Spring 2011, your user id will be the first character of your first name concatenated with the first four characters of your last name concatenated with the last four digits of your social security number. For example, if my name is John Thompson and my social security number is 111-11-1111, my userid would be jthom1111.
2. Your password will be given to you by your instructor. Memorize it or bring it with you to all of your MMP classes. It is a combination of lower case numbers and letters with a + sign, it is case sensitive, type all characters. It cannot be changed

To log on to your BMCC account to ftp (file transfer protocol) from Windows:

1. Type into the url bar on an open window in Windows: ftp://mmp.bmcc.cuny.edu/. You will then be prompted for a userid and password.
2. To put a file in your account, simply drag the icon of the file onto the browser window once you have logged on to the account through ftp with your userid and password. This window should show you all the files in your account.
3. Remember, every directory on the web has a default page, which is the homepage of that directory, or the page that the directory defaults to opening. In this server you must call this file index.htm.
   
4. To see your index page in the browser, type http://mmp.bmcc.cuny.edu/userid. For example, http://mmp.bmcc.cuny.edu/jthom111.
   
5. To see any other page in the browser, type http://mmp.bmcc.cuny.edu/userid/filename.
6. Make sure to close your your ftp account window when you are done working. For security reasons, only one ftp account can be open on one computer at a time.
