File transfer: moving files to or from the TCC

The TCC no longer allows file transfer using the insecure, obsolete ftp (File Transfer Protocol) method. Its use must be replaced by the sftp (Secure File Transfer Protocol) method.

• If you have some application set to upload and download files from server ftp.nmt.edu, change the server name to sftp.nmt.edu.

• Many applications, such as Dreamweaver, can upload files to your TCC account. These applications must be reconfigured to use sftp protocol for transfers instead of ftp.

  In particular, for Dreamweaver users, see `Transferring files from Dreamweaver to the TCC'.

• If your program does not support sftp connections, you can download MindTerm, which is free for personal use. It allows you to create an ftp to sftp bridge that will allow your ftp program to transfer files with sftp.
