In NCFTP, how do I log into an FTP site with my username?

By default, NCFTP assumes that you are trying to connect to an anonymous FTP server. Whenever it connects to a remote site, NCFTP tries to use anonymous for the username and your email address for the password. This does not work when you are trying to access a personal account on the remote system.

To force NCFTP to give you a chance to enter your username and password, at the Unix prompt, enter:

ncftp -u username hostname

Replace username with the username of the account you wish to access. Replace hostname with the name of the computer to which you are trying to connect.

Note: You need to use a client that supports secure FTP to transfer files to and from Indiana University's central systems. For more, see At IU, what SSH/SFTP clients are supported and where can I get them?

At Indiana University, to get support for personal or departmental Linux or Unix systems, see At IU, how do I get support for Linux or Unix?
