Secure File Transfer (SFTP) allows you to access files stored on your N: drive or mac/unix home from any computer connected to the internet. The connection settings are provided first, then instructions follow. If you are new to SFTP start with the instructions. The instructions assume you have SSH.com's Secure File Transfer Client installed. For installation instructions submit a help request via the helpdesk.
Connection Settings
Hostname: unix.csbs.utah.edu
Username: Your csbs username (ie. ab1234)
Password: Your csbs password
Port: 22
Instructions
Launch SSH Secure File Transfer Client. On a windows PC, this is done by clicking the "Secure File Transfer Client" icon under "SSH Secure Shell" in your windows Start menu --> Programs.
Click the button labeled "Quick Connect"
Type unix.csbs.utah.edu for the Host Name
Type your csbs username for the User Name
Click "Connect"
If this is your first time logging in via SFTP, you will be prompted with "Host Identification". Click Yes
Next you will be prompted for your password. Type your password and click OK.
You should now be connected. On the left you will see your computer. On the right you will see the contents of your network storage.
To transfer files to or from your network storage, you can Drag-and-Drop documents from the left pane to right pane for upload, or from the right pane to left pane for download. If you are unfamiliar with Drag-and-Drop, follow the instructions below.
Uploading
Click upload button to upload files.
Select the file on your hard drive that you want to upload to your network storage then click Upload.
To view the status of the upload, look for the name of your document in the bottom window pane. To the right, under the heading "Status", you can determine if your file has completed its upload.
Downloading
In the right window pane, select the file you would like to download by clicking on it once.
Click the download button. Note that the download button will be unavailable until you've selected a document in the pane on the right.
Select a location on your hard drive to download the document, then click download. We recommend the "My Documents" folder.
To view the status of the download, look for the name of your document in the bottom window pane. To the right, under the heading "Status", you can determine if your file has completed its dowload.
If you have further questions about using SFTP, or if you don't use a Windows based PC with SSH.com's Secure File Transfer client, contact the helpdesk for instructions.
