SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) is a network protocol used to securely transfer and manage files on remote systems. SFTP is layered on top of the SSH protocol, and is preferred over FTP as a method of remote file transfer.
Connecting to an SFTP Server
Under Under Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu Linux, and Mac OS X, the following command from a terminal will connect a client computer to the UMIACS OpenLAB.
wing:~ bkirz$ sftp bkirz@openlab.umiacs.umd.edu
For UMIACS supported Windows hosts, a SFTP client is already installed. For other hosts, you can download and install PuTTY, which will enable SSH and SFTP access.
