====== FileZilla ======

  *FileZilla allows you to access our file servers from your personal computer. 
  *Compatible with both Windows and Macintosh operating systems.
  *Open source and free, download [[https://filezilla-project.org/|here]]


<note> This should generally only be used to access small files stored within home directories. 

Do **not** use for large size file transfers! </note>

===== Setup =====
  *Download [[https://filezilla-project.org/|here]] and install. Watch out for some settings that try to change you home pages, search engines, etc. 
  *After installing you should see something like the following:
{{ :computing:software:ssh:filezilla_2016-06-01_16-46-03.png?nolink |}}
  * The host is the server/computer you are trying to connect to, we suggest ''ssh.physics.umn.edu'' for **light-duty** use
  * Username and Password are your **physics** credentials
  * Port 22 is the standard ssh port (use Port 22)
  * You will probably get a pop-up complaining that your computer doesn't know the computer you are connecting to - make sure the Host name is typed in correctly and hit okay.
{{ :computing:software:ssh:unknown_host_key_2016-06-01_16-46-55.png?nolink |}}
  * You should now be connected and able to browse your home directory, download files, etc. Hooray!
