SFTP Tutorial

In order to complete your first assignment, you'll need to upload your files to your web server. You'll need an FTP or SFTP ((secure) file transfer protocol) client application (Cyberduck, Fetch, Fugu, WS-FTP). NYU's ITS group has serveral pieces of software available for download for free including various text editors and SFTP clients. For this class, I would recommend using Cyberduck which you can get for free.

Download Cyberduck

Once you have CyberDuck, follow these steps:

1. Select "Open Connection".
2. Change protocol to "SFTP".
   • Server: server address is caroline.dreamhost.com
   • Username: your netid
   • Password: your password I gave you in class (e-mail me if you forget)

3. Click "connect".
4. If you get a message saying "unknown fingerprint" click "allow" (and select "always").
5. Once connected follow these steps
   • Move into the folder "netid.imnyuad.com"
   • Create a new folder FILE → NEW FOLDER (⇧⌘N), maybe call it "assignment1"
   • Drag the files for your homework into "week1"

You can then go to the URL: http://yournetid.imnyuad.com/assignment1/ to view your homework. Here is an example.
