Secure Replacement For FTP-
If you currently upload or download files through an FTP (File Transfer Protocol
) program such as WS_FTP in Windows or Fetch on a Macintosh, you will have to be
gin to use a new secure replacement for FTP such as SFTP (Secure File Transfer
Protocol). SFTP is built into most SSH clients. SSH clients can be downloaded
from http://www.nbcs.rutgers.edu/ssh.
However in some cases you may find a separate SFTP program more
convenient.
The following documentation on how to use SFTP is available:
