In Windows, how do I transfer files to and from my account on Mercury?

If your Windows computer is connected to the Internet, you can use secure FTP (SFTP) to transfer files for your Mypage web page from your computer to your account on Mercury and vice versa.

If you use an HTML editor (e.g., Dreamweaver), you can use the software's built-in upload feature to move files to Mercury only if it permits secure uploads. Check the program's documentation for information about secure file transfer.

WinSCP is a communications application that provides SFTP functionality. At Indiana University Bloomington and IUPUI, this software is available in the Student Technology Centers (STCs). If you have this software on your computer, you can also use it there to transfer files to and from Mercury.

To connect to Mercury using WinSCP, Putty, or SSH Secure Shell, see In Windows, how do I transfer files using an SSH or SFTP client?

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?
