FTP Terminology Hosts and Clients The machine on which you start FTP becomes the “client” The machine you access with FTP becomes the “host” Also, sometimes the client is called the “local” machine, and the host is called the “remote” machine

FTP In order for a machine to be a host for you, that machine must be set up to accept you as a client. Typically, this is done by the system administrator. Once this is done, you will be required to enter a login and password so that the host machine recognizes you as an approved client. Uploading and Downloading When you transfer a file from the client machine to the host machine, you are “uploading” the file. When you transfer a file from the host machine to the client machine, you are “downloading” the file.

Using FTP in Dreamweaver

FTP Using Your Browser Let’s say you’re sitting in an airport and you would like to be able to work on some of your AFS files via the internet, but you are using a machine that does not an FTP client program This is no problem, because you can use a Netscape or Explorer web browser as a client also All you need to do is enter the FTP address of the host in the ‘Address’ box of your browser. This is what your FTP address should look like:

FTP Using Your Browser Once you enter the FTP address, you will be asked to supply the required password. You will then be able to see the folders of your AFS space within the web browser. Downloading Files: You must first right -click on the file in the host directory and then either open it or save it to a folder in your client directory. Uploading Files: However, you may upload a file by clicking on a file in the client directory and dragging it to the host directory.

FTP Using F-Secure One of the easiest ways to use FTP is through a software package called F-secure, which can be downloaded for free from the Notre Dame OIT software package download pageNotre Dame OIT software package download page This page can be accessed through: Click on ‘Software Downloads’ Scroll down to ‘F-Secure for Windows’ and double click. Now follow the downloading instructions, and you are in business.

FTP Using F-Secure F-Secure is an excellent way to easily transfer files between a host and client machine because it provides a very intuitive interface. You can transfer files between drives by click and drag. When you first open F-Secure (open F-Secure SSH File Transfer), you will see at the bottom of the interface “Not Connected”. So now you’ve got to connect to a host (remote) drive by entering the host name or the IP address of the host machine.

F-Secure: Entering the FTP Address You need to know the FTP address of the host machine that you are trying to access. For example: darwin.cc.nd.edu Click on “Quick Access” Enter darwin.cc.nd.edu for the Host Name/IP address Then type in your user name (NetID): for example, dballou Click ‘Connect.’ Now a window will pop up requesting your password. Enter the correct AFS password, and then you will be connected.

F-Secure Now that you are connected to the host using F-Secure, transferring files between the host and client is a snap All you need to do to transfer a file is to select it—you can select multiple files by holding down the ctrl key while selecting—and drag it from one drive to the other Or you can use the upload/download from the toolbar Depending on the size of the file and the speed of your internet connection, the transfer of the file can take seconds or many minutes

F-Secure If you are using a dial-up modem, be very careful of transferring huge data files--you’ll end up waiting for quite a while! However, if you have a high speed connection, even very large files can be transferred relatively quickly. You can also open a file to view by right clicking on the file in the host directory and selecting ‘Open.’ You may also save and delete files directly within F-Secure.
