In Mac OS or Mac OS X, how do I use MacSFTP to transfer files?
To use MacSFTP to transfer files via SFTP, follow these steps:
- Double-click the
MacSFTPicon. TheMacSFTP Loginwindow will display fields for connecting to a remote computer.
- In the "Host Name:" field, type the address of the remote host to
which you wish to connect (e.g.,
quarry.uits.indiana.edu).
- In the "Login:" and "Password:" fields, type your username and
password for the remote host computer. If you are using Mac
OS 9 or Mac OS X, you have the option of saving your
password to the Keychain.
- If you want to log into a directory other than your home
directory, type it in the "Path:" field (e.g.,
www).
- Click the
Connectbutton to start the SFTP connection.
Note: The first time you connect to a host, MacSFTP may warn you that it can't determine the host's authenticity. ClickYesto accept the host's keys and continue connecting.
- A window will open displaying the list of files on the remote host. To upload files or folders, drag them from Finder windows into the MacSFTP window. To download files or folders, drag them from MacSFTP into the Finder.
