FTP services can be accessed from supported windows machines. This is a guide on how to access the UMIACS FTP service using windows explorer.

Opening up Windows Explorer

To open up windows explorer, click on the "folder/files" icon on your desktop. Alternatively, click on "Start" button on your task-bar, and type in "Windows Explorer" in the search box.

Connecting to UMIACS FTP

In the address bar, type in the one of the following address:

  • \\umiacs-webftp\ftp-umiacs\incoming\<username> - to access users' incoming folder.

External collaborators can drop data for users into their FTP incoming file system.

  • \\umiacs-webftp\ftp-umiacs\pub\<username> - to access users' public folder.

Users can place data to be externally accessible in their public FTP space
