Instructions

 

 

Note: this works for Macintosh OS X only.
Access to web files from on campus will now be through the X: 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. (UPDATE: You can also use Remote Desktop instead of FTP, though it also requires installation of a program if you need to work with a Mac.)

 

Installing

 

To set up the SSH secure FTP Client, control-click on this link and choose "download link to disk". The file should start to download. If you aren't sure where to put it, your desktop is a good place. Once the download finishes, go to the place you saved the file to, double-click it to start installing it. Go through the install process and accept all the default choices.

 

Connecting

 

When the install is finished, there will be a FUGU icon on your desktop.(Look for the fish)

 

 

Double click Fugu to start the program. You will see the following screen:

 

 

Once the program opens, go to the "connect to" are and type: ftp.wou.edu
Username is your Pawprint login name
Port: 22
Directory: /homeX/username/username
(substitute the first letter of your Pawprint login name for the "X", and the whole login name for both places it says "username"; for example, if your login is "jdoe09" then you would use "/homej/jdoe09/jdoe09". )

 

Click "Connect"
You will see the following screen:

 

 

Type in your Pawprint password and click "Authenticate"

 

Using Fugu

 

When you're connected you'll see your personal folder listed in the Remote Site window (on the right). 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. You can create a new folder remotely by clicking on the "new folder" icon and choosing "remote" for the location after naming the folder. You're now free to drap files into this new folder just as you would any other folder on your "H" drive.

To access other volumes on the server, press the "Go To..." button and enter one of the following in the "Go To" box that comes up.
To access the WOU website files type web:
To access the K: drive (class folders) type class:
To access the J: drive (interdepartmental shared files) type share1:

Note:The colons following each folder name are required.
