Using SSH for File Upload
 

  1. If you are working in any of DePaul's labs, you don't need this step. However, if you are somewhere else you may need to install SSH on your computer. Therefore, if you need to, download SSH for free from the site
    www.cdm.depaul.edu/academics/Pages/LabsAndResources/LabsandResources.aspx.   Scroll down, under Software | SSH FTP/Telnet Client. Click on Windows Client.
    Mac users see SSH for Mac Users. 

  2. Related information can be obtained from DePaul's Information Services Website at this link:
    http://www.itd.depaul.edu/website/documentation/usingssh-qg.pdf
    This document contains pretty much everything you need to know to use SSH.
    The faculty computer condor.depaul.edu, referred to on this link, is similar to the computer students.depaul.edu that hosts the students accounts. Both computers run the Unix operating system.

  3. Invoke the Secure File Transfer Client by selecting Start | SSH Secure Shell | Secure File Transfer Client.
     
  4. On the left side, select the file to upload on the PC:
    1. Select the disc drive from the drop down menu.
    2. Browse for the file to upload.
       
  5. Connect to the remote Unix machine:
    1. Click on "Quick Connect".
    2. In the "Connect to Remote Host" dialog, fill in the host name "students.depaul.edu" and your user name.
    3. Click on the "Connect" button.
    4. Enter yes or no as you wish to the "Host Identification Dialog" (if asked).
    5. Enter your password in the "Enter Password" dialog.
    6. Close the "Add Profile" window.
       
  6. Verify that the public_html folder is present.  If not:
    1. Create it with the "New Folder" toolbar button.
    2. Right click on the folder and select Properties. 
    3. Set the permissions to
      Owner: Read, Write, Execute; Group: Read, Execute; Other: Read, Execute.
       
  7. Browse to the destination folder (public_html), i.e., double click on public_html.
     
  8. Drag the file to upload from the left side (PC) to the right side (Remote Host, i.e., students.depaul.edu).
     
  9. Verify that the permissions are set correctly:
    1. Right click on the folder and select Properties. 
    2. Set the permissions to
      Owner: Read, Write; Group: Read; Other: Read.
