For file transfers to and from UITS systems at Indiana University, you must use an SFTP client.

To transfer files between computers using Hummingbird FTP, follow these steps:

  1. From the Start menu, select Programs, then Communications Software 3.x, then FTP.
  2. When the window opens, select Connection, then Open.
  3. In the dialog box that opens, type the name of the FTP host, your username, and your password. You probably don't need to change any of the other fields.
  4. Click Open. You should now see two windows, one that represents the remote computer and one that represents your desktop computer's hard drive.
  5. To make both windows appear without overlapping, from the Window menu, select Tile Horizontally.
  6. To transfer files between computers, drag them from one window to the other. You can also switch to another folder on either computer by double-clicking the folder icons in the left pane of each window.
