Per the TCC Hotline we have disabled authenticated FTP at the TCC as of January 2008.
We encourage users to use SFTP as an alternative to FTP. This is a secure file transfer protocol, and SFTP capable clients can be pointed at any of our login servers or sftp.nmt.edu.
Note: You cannot point an SFTP client at ftp.nmt.edu. The connection will fail.
If you use Windows, a good SFTP client for transfering files in and out of your TCC account is WinSCP. This is a free program. To download, you can follow the above link for the latest version.
Macromedia Dreamweaver (version 2004 MX and above) can be made to use SFTP by selecting a configuration option. Go to "Site->Manage Sites" and click "Edit". Select "FTP" as the access type, sftp.nmt.edu as the FTP host, and check "Use Secure FTP."
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 use our systems through SFTP.
If you use Mac OS X, a good sftp client is Fugu.app. You can also use sftp from the command line.
In Linux, gFTP is a common sftp client. Instead of protocol FTP, you should select SSH2. You can also use sftp from the command line.
