In our continuing effort to keep UTCS a secure network, FTP access will no longer be allowed from outside of our network. The FTP protocol transmits your password in cleartext which presents a security concern.

If you need remote file access, we recommend using an SFTP or SCP client, both of which use strong encryption to protect your password.

For Windows, we recommend:

• WinSCP (SCP client)
  • Available for free here.
• SSH Secure Shell (SFTP client)
  • Available for free from bevoware.
  • ITS maintains instructions for using SSH Secure Shell as an SFTP client.

For Mac OS X, we recommend:

• Fugu (SCP client)
  • Available for free here.
• Fetch (SFTP client)
  • Available for free from bevoware.
