Filezilla: Connecting & Transferring Files

FileZilla is one of two free secure FTP (FTPS) software packages supported by the ITS Help Desk. Click here to download and configure FileZilla.

Connecting

1. Open FileZilla (Start -> Programs -> FileZilla FTP -> FileZilla).
   
2. From the File menu, select Site Manager and make sure UWF FTP is highlighted on the left side. Then, click Connect.
3. An Accept Certificate window may appear. If so, select Always trust this certificate in future sessions, and click OK.
   
4. Your Home (H:) and Web (I:) folders appear on the right-hand side.
   
   Faculty/Staff: You will see two sets of Home and Web folders. The folders preceded by your ArgoNet username (e.g. jdoe Home) will take you directly to your folder, while the other two folders will open a list of all FacStaff and departmental ArgoNet accounts.
   

File Transfer

You can upload or download a file by double-clicking on it. The file will be placed in the open folder on the other side. You can also drag the files from one side and drop them on the other side. To transfer folders and/or multiple files, select them and right-click the selection. Then you can click on Upload/Download in the pop-up menu.
