| − | Option 1, of course, is the command line. From a Unix command line, typing
| |
| − |
| |
| − | scp [file or folder to upload] [your user name]@wso.williams.edu:[path to upload to]

| − | You can also upload files to WSO via the Secure File Transfer Protocol (or SFTP for short). SFTP is just like regular FTP except that it encrypts all data before forwarding it along. From a Unix command line, you can launch an interactive SFTP session by typing "sftp [your user name]@wso.williams.edu". Once you're connected, you'll be able to navigate around your local machine and the WSO server using variants of the standard Unix commands (i.e. use cd to change directories on the remote machine, lcd to change directories on your local machine, ls to list the contents of a remote directory, lls to list the contents of a local directory, etc). Typing "help" will get you a complete list of recognized sftp commands (along with descriptions).

| − | For the more graphically minded, there are lots of free SFTP GUI applications. WinSCP is a free SFTP client for Windows that can be downloaded from [http://winscp.net/eng/index.php winscp.net]. Fugu is a free SFTP client for Mac OS X that can be downloaded from [http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/fugu/ UMichigan]. Once you have an SFTP client installed, use it to open a secure connection to "wso.williams.edu". Most SFTP clients have a two panel inteface. The left panel represents your local computer and the right panel is the remote machine. Find the file you want to backup in the left panel and drag it to where you want to store it on the right panel. You can do this for multiple files at once by highlighting more than one file in the left panel. For Linux, you can use gFTP, which works the same way.

| − | A second popular SFTP application for Mac OS X is Cyberduck, which is available as a free download from [http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/internet_utilities/cyberduck.html Apple]. Cyberduck supports a single panel interface that might be appealing to some users. It also supports a variety of other protocols beyond SFTP.

| − | If you'd like to use a graphical SFTP client but are using a machine that prohibits you from downloading and installing applications, WSO hosts a Java based SFTP web applet that can be run from any Java enabled system. Visit [http://wso.williams.edu/jftp/index WSO jftp help] for more information.
