To download files from the TerpConnect (formerly WAM/Glue) system to your
home system you'll have to first determine what file transfer protocol(s)
your communications package on your home system supports. The available
method for transferring files is SFTP.
Note: As of August 1, 2005, the TerpConnect system does not
support insecure FTP.
FTP
To transfer a file using ftp, you simply connect to the
remote system via the 'sftp' program, logon to the remote
system, then send or fetch the file(s) you wish. Here is an
example of a basic 'sftp' session:
Description Example
ftp remote-host sftp foo-bar.umd.edu
Directory ID joeuser
Password joespwd
cd directory cd pub/stuff
get remote-file local-file get tape.prices sun.tape-prices
or
put local-file remote-file put sun.tape-prices tape.prices
quit quit (out of sftp)
To do an ftp transfer, you must have an active connection to the internet. There are SFTP clients for Windows
(WinSCP) and Mac
(Fugu).
You can also type:
man sftp
on TerpConnect to get online help.
