Windows FTP Client Instructions:

Note: If you have trouble connecting, go to http://www.wou.edu/accountlookup and change your password (this also changes your email and network password.) If you still cannot log in, contact webmaster@wou.edu.

Note: Mac users need to use a program called Fugu instead; click here for instructions and download.

Access to web files from on campus will now be through the W: drive instead of FTP. However, FTP will still be needed if you wish to edit files from off-campus. Since conventional FTP clients are not very secure, we require the use of a secure FTP client such as this one.

To set up the SSH secure FTP Client, right-click on this link and choose "save this link as..." or "save target as...". It will give you a choice of where to save the installer file. If you aren't sure where to put it, your computer's desktop is a good place. Once the download finishes, go to the place you saved the file to and rename the file to "FileZilla_2_2_15_setup.exe". Double-click it to start installing it. Go through the install process and accept all the default choices.

Note that the renaming is necessary because our webserver does not allow downloads of EXE files directly. Also, if you have a CD burner, USB drive, or some other method of carrying the file from campus to home, you may wish to download it on campus and then carry it home, as it is several megabytes in size and may take a while to download, especially with a modem!

When the install is finished, there will be a FileZilla icon on your desktop. After double-clicking on it, this is what you should see:

Once the program opens, go to the File menu and select Site Manager. Click on the New Site button. Type "Wou" for the site name.
Host: ftp.wou.edu
Port: 22
Servertype: SFTP using SSH2
Logontype: Normal
Bypass proxy settings: unchecked
User: Your on-campus (MASH domain) login name
Password: Your on-campus (MASH domain) password
If you aren't sure of your MASH domain password (hint: it isn't the last four digits of your ID number) please go to http://www.wou.edu/accountlookup and change your password. Email, network, and FTP passwords are all synchronized now, so this will change all of them. Default Remote Directory: home:
You can enter any other FTP code here; see the list at the bottom. You will automatically be connected to whichever one you enter here.

The first time you click connect, FileZilla will say that the server's host key is not cached in the registry. Choose "Yes" to store the key. Once you're connected, you'll see your personal folder listed in the Remote Site window (unless you chose a different default remote directory). Open your username folder by double-clicking. To copy a file, drag and drop your file into the local site window. To upload a file, drag and drop the file into the remote site window.

To access other volumes on the server, you will need to type in the correct FTP code in the "Remote Site" field.
To access your I: drive (staff group files) enter your FTP group code
To access the J: drive(shared folders) type share1: (that's a number one at the end, not a lowercase L)
To access the K: drive (class folders) type class:
To access your P: drive (public_html files) type public_html:
  (you must use this access point for personal web files; uploading them through home: will not work!)
To access the X: drive (WOU website files) type web:

Note: Don't forget the colon at the end of each of these!
