There are a handful of ways to upload files to WSO. 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] will do the trick. "scp" is short for secure copy. When you use scp, all of your data is encrypted before being transferred to WSO.
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).
