How to FTP to ce.uml.edu using a  Secure FTP Client 

Question: "how do I use Secure FTP to transfer files to/from ce.uml.edu?"
Answer:  you use a Secure FTP client program.
Secure FTP (SFTP or SCP) is a secure version of the FTP protocol  used for transfering files on the Internet. Secure FTP, like SSH is useful to prevent unauthorized users from gaining access to password and user information that is sent over the Internet.

There are many different Secure FTP client programs that can be freely downloaded on the Internet. We recommend using the following programs for their ease of use and the functionality that they provide.

For Windows use Either:

  • WinSCP2                                                                                                          (Available from: http://winscp.vse.cz/eng/download2.php?file=WinSCP2.exe)
    Right Click on This Link to download. If using IE, choose 'Save Target As',
    if using Netscape, choose 'Save Link As'. Once saved to your computer, you double click the file to open the program.
     
  • SSH Secure File Transfer Client                                                                                (Available from: http://www.ssh.com/products/ssh/download.cfm)
    Right Click on This Link to download. If using IE, choose 'Save Target As',
    if using Netscape, choose 'Save Link As'. Once saved to your computer, you double click the file to open the program.
    Note: If you downloaded Secure Shell for FTP, you do not need to download this. This program works for both telnet and FTP.
