Secure Server File Transfers: MacSSH and MacSFTP

If you are working on a Macintosh you will need an application that can transfer files securely (SFTP) to upload your module to the secure ITC server. You may already have something like Transmit or Interarchy, but if not, UT has a site license for MacSFTP Carbon, available at: http://pro.wanadoo.fr/chombier/MacSFTP/SFTP_down.html

You can contact Alec Riedl at ariedl@itc.utk.edu for more information about the license number for this application.

Before you transfer files to the server you should change your password from the temporary one given to you in the SET training session. You will need to use SSH to connect to our server. Using the Terminal application is the easiest way to accomplish this. You can find Terminal in Applications/Utilities/. Here are the steps to connect and change your password:

1. Launch the Terminal application
2. Type "ssh -l YOURUSERNAME edtech.tennessee.edu" *
3. When you are asked if you would like to add a key, type "yes"
4. Type "passwd"
5. Type the temporary password given in the training session
6. Type your new password, then confirm it
7. Type "exit"

* For all of these steps, DON'T actually type the quotation marks and DO insert the username you were given at SET training where appropriate.

To actually transfer your files to our server, launch your SFTP application, (if you are using MacSFTP Carbon, go ahead and enter the Registration information if asked). Here are the steps to connect to our server:

1. Select "New Connection" from the File menu
2. For Host Name, enter "edtech.tennessee.edu"
3. Enter the username you were given in training
4. Enter your new password.
5. Click connect.
6. Double-click the "public_html" directory
7. Drag your files from your machine into the "public_html" directory.

You can view your webpage at: http://edtech.tennessee.edu/~YOURUSERNAME/

Remember to substitute the username you were assigned in training. The URL should look like this: http://edtech.tennessee.edu/~set1/

If you get a list of items in your project rather than your webpage, make sure your main page is titled "default.html" and try again.
