University Computing Services (UCS) announces myWebDAV for the purpose of creating personal web sites. Users will get a myWebDAV account. As a result, UCS will no longer be accepting requests for new shell accounts. Users who have an existing site on garnet or mailer are encouraged to move to "myweb.fsu.edu". Please see WebDAV for more information.

Using SSH Secure File Transfer

SSH Secure Shell client is a telnet-like program. If you wish to transfer files into your Garnet or Mailer account, you will need to use this program. You can also use this program to transfer files to your personal web site on the Garnet or Mailer server if you are NOT using the myweb.fsu.edu WebDAV facility for your web site.

The FSU community can get the free ssh client here (to download ssh, you must have an FSU IP address).

Please Note: You may need to request shell access before you can access your account through SSH. If you find you can connect momentarily and then it disconnects - you may request shell access by emailing help@otc.fsu.edu.

Go to START-> PROGRAMS
Then go to SSH Secure Shell Transfer Client.
Click on the QUICK CONNECT button.

The Host is mailer.fsu.edu or garnet.acns.fsu.edu, depending on which server your going to. In the following example, we use mailer.fsu.edu. The username and password will be the same as your email account and password. When connecting to the server you should see the window below.

Click Connect.

You will need to type in your password.
If your password is not correct, go to http://fsuid.fsu.edu You will need to wait for approximately 1 hour before you try to connect again. Once you are connected. Your window should look similar to the one below.

The window on your left represents your computer (LOCAL). The window on the right represents the remote server (REMOTE) files under your account.

You will need to locate your file on the left side, then drag and drop the file in the appropriate folder on the right side.

SETTING PERMISSIONS. If you find that you have transferred files and they are still not viewable, you may need to set the permissions. You will do this by right clicking on the FILE ->go to PROPERTIES. Simply type 755 in the permission mode. Click ok.

Once you are done with uploading files, go to FILE then DISCONNECT. Then go to FILE->EXIT.
