WinSCP Program for File
Transfer
WinSCP is a freeware SCP client for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP using SSH
(Secure SHell). Its main
function is safe copying of files between a local and a remote
computer.
The WinSCP program is free and can be downloaded,
here. Double click on this WinSCP
icon on your desktop
once it is downloaded and installed. Alternatively, you can run WinSCP by
running "winscp310" from the
'START' --> 'RUN' menu.
On the WinSCP Login screen,
type "sol.acs.unt.edu" in the 'Host Name' box. Then use your Sol username (your EUID) and password to log in.
WinSCP can do all basic operations with files, such as
copying and moving (to and from a remote computer). It
also allows you to rename files and folders, create new folders, and
change properties of files and folders.
A selectable program interfaces in WinSCP is displayed above.
A local folder is displayed in the left panel
and a remote folder in the right panel. For the purpose of
file transfer on Sol, the left panel is your local
hard drive (C:\ or D:\) and the right panel is the Sol file
directory. To operate within a panel, highlight the
panel. For example, you are operating within the
/home/cl0084/ of the right (remote) panel in the sample window above. Files are transferred between these two panels
(by double-clicking the file), though it is possible to
transfer files
into a different folder. To create a new folder within a panel, press F7
when the specific panel is
highlighted.
Example: Creating a folder called "CRSP" on my local
hard drive D:\
First, highlight the left panel, which represents the local
hard drive (D:\). Then, press F7 to open the
create new folder box. Type "CRSP" in the create new
folder box and press enter. Once the "CRSP"
folder is created, double-click on the folder. This
allows you to transfer files between your Sol account
and the CRSP folder located in your hard drive.
