FTP services can be accessed from supported machines running OS X. This is a guide on how to access the UMIACS FTP service using OS X Finder.
Opening up OS X Finder
To open up OS X Finder, click on the OS X Finder icon on the dock at the bottom of your desktop.
Accessing Incoming Folder in FTP
First, bring up the address bar in OS X Finder by pressing Command + Shift + G.
Then, type the following into the address bar:
/fs/ftp/incoming/<username> - where <username> should be replaced with your username
External collaborators can only drop data into FTP incoming folder. Owner of the incoming folder can receive and modify their incoming files from any supported machine.
Accessing Pubic Folder in FTP
Type in the following into the address bar of Finder:
/fs/ftp/pub/<username> - where <username> should be replaced with your username
External collaborators can only download files published by the owner. Owner of the public folder can publish and modify files from a supported machine.
Alternatively, collaborators can access public folders through a web browser. Open up any web browser and in the address bar type in the following address:
ftp://ftp.umiacs.umd.edu/pub/<username> - where <username> should be replaced with your username
Collaborators can then click on a file title from the page that the browser brings up in order to download a published file.
