  4. Click OK to connect

Connecting through the context menu of the Package Explorer or Navigator

  1. Select some files/folders/a project to submit from the Package Explorer or Navigator. NOTE: multiple files/folders must be from the same project in order to be submitted.
  2. Right-click on any of the selected items and select 'Submit Assignment...'

  3. Fill in the server URL and the server type (probably provided to you by your instructor), your login name, and password in the dialog as shown below. Some of the information may be filled in with default values taken from your preferences, which can be set for convenience.
