ARCHIVED: In Windows, how can I save my web page on mypage.iu.edu from Steel onto my computer's hard drive?

Note: The IU South Bend Mypage service is different from the Mypage service noted here; see IUSB's Web Publishing: Mypage.

Note: On June 23, 2008, UITS will retire Steel. As part of this process, UITS will move the Mypage service to a new platform. For more, see ARCHIVED: About the Mypage migration.

To follow the instructions below, you need to have terminal software for Windows that supports the SSH or SSH2 protocols.

Note: SSH Secure Shell Client for Windows is no longer available for download from IUware or SSH Communications. For alternative SSH and SFTP clients, see At IU, what SSH/SFTP clients are supported and where can I get them?

To save your mypage.iu.edu web page from Steel to your Windows computer:

1. In SSH Secure Shell, open a file transfer window. You can do this in either of the following two ways:
   
   
   • Select Start, then Programs, then SSH Secure Shell, and then Secure File Transfer Client.
     
     
   • From within SSH, from the Window menu, select New File Transfer.
   
   
2. From the File menu, select Connect... .
   
   
3. In the "Host Name:" field, type: steel.ucs.indiana.edu
4. In the "User Name:" field, type your username. Click Connect.
   
   
5. When you are prompted for a password, enter your Steel password.
   
   
6. When the software connects to Steel, you will see your Steel files and directories on the left side of the screen and the files you have saved in the active folder on your PC on the right. Find the www folder on your Steel account, and click to highlight it.
   
   
7. From the Operation menu, select Download Dialog... .
   
   
8. A Download - Select Folder window will open. Browse to the folder on your PC where you'd like to place a copy of your web files.
   
   
9. Click the Download button.
   
   
10. To log out, close the program by selecting File, and then Exit.
