Using Fugu

Fugu is a graphical frontend to the commandline Secure File Transfer application ( SFTP ). SFTP is similar to FTP, but unlike FTP, the entire session is encrypted, meaning no passwords are sent in cleartext form, and is thus much less vulnerable to third-party interception.

Your can download Fugu (Mac OS X only) Here.

Once you have Fugu set up on your computer, start the application. The following screen will appear.

Under the fish image enter the following information:

  • Enter the server you are wishing to connect to in the "Connect to" field
  • Enter the user name you were assigned in to the "User Name" field

Select Connect

When you are prompted now enter your password.

Note: You can not change your password from this application.

When the file navigator appears on the right you have successfully connected to the server. You can now drag files from the local file navigator (left hand side) onto the web server file navigator (right hand side) and vica versa.
