File Transfer Protocol (FTP) using Filezilla
If you do not have Filezilla and would like to get it, you can download it from the Filezilla
the web site http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/.
Before using this software, you need to be connected to the Internet.
For more information on dial up access through the University of Manitoba, please
visit the Remote Access (http://www.umanitoba.ca/acn/remote) web
page, or call the ACN Support Desk at 474-8600.
To start the Filezilla program, double-click on its icon.
The Filezilla window has 5 main sections.
- The top one contains server messages.
- The middle two on the left side correspond to the Local System.
You use this window to navigate your local system to choose a transfer directory.
The top window contains the directory list and the bottom one shows the files in the current folder.
- The Remote System window is on the right side. This contains the directory and file listings of the remote system.
- The bottom section contains file transfer information. All the current file transfers will be displayed here.
There are two ways to connect to a server. One is to use quick connect and the other is to create and then use a profile.
Using quick connect to access your UNIX account:
- Enter ccu.umanitoba.ca in the address field.
- Enter your U of M CC username in the username field.
- Enter your password in the password field.
- You can either enter 21 in the port field or leave it blank.
- Click on Quickconnect
