SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) and SCP (Secure Copy)

• For SCP/SFTP transfers officially supported applications include ExpanDrive and WinSCP. Click here for more information on SCP/SFTP access.
• A very nice client for both FTP and SFTP/SCP is FileZilla.
• EOS has more information on this subject here.

Remote Desktop

• For Windows XP Professional users, Remote Desktop provides an excellent way to log in to your computer remotely. To find out some information about Remote Desktop, click here.

SSH (Secure Shell) and Telnet

• Because Telnet is so insecure we have stopped using it completely and will never use it again.
• If you need a command prompt remotely we recommend that you use PuTTY or F-Secure to access a campus machine via SSH. EOS has excellent guides for this here.
• Click here to obtain X-Win32 in order to run *NIX applications that require a graphical user interface remotely.
