What happened to FTP access?
In our continuing effort to keep UTCS a secure network, FTP access will no longer be allowed from outside of our network. The FTP protocol transmits your password in cleartext which presents a security concern. If you need remote file access, we recommend using an SFTP or SCP client, both of which use strong encryption to protect your password. For Windows, we recommend: • WinSCP (SCP client) • Available for free here. • SSH Secure Shell (SFTP client) • Available for free from bevoware. • ITS maintains instructions for using SSH Secure Shell as an SFTP client. For Mac OS X, we recommend: • Fugu (SCP client) • Available for free here. • Fetch (SFTP client) • Available for free from bevoware.
