Using SFTP

The new jupiter web server requires you to connect with SFTP. This can be done with an FTP client or through Dreamweaver.

If you use Dreamweaver you will need to edit your remote site profile and select the "Secure FTP" option.

If you use Windows and want a stand alone SFTP client then you can use SSH File Transfer Client or Filezilla.

Download and Instructions for SSH File Transfer Client:

For the Filezilla FTP Client be sure to set the "Servertype" as STFP.

Download and instructions for Filezilla can be found here:

If you are on a Mac, then you can use Fetch 5. Be sure to generate your educational activation number from the page below. Then choose SFTP from the "Connect Using" menu.
