Login Instructions: 

You can access files stored in your Home directory from off-campus in two ways:

1. Use an FTP client (FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol) like WS_FTP for Windows and Anarchie or Fetch for the Macintosh (available for download at many Internet sites).

For users of WS_FTP you must set your host type to: UNIX (Standard).

Once you have installed and configured the FTP software, connect to network.sc.maricopa.edu. Your userID is the same one you use to log into your workstation on campus. You will be asked to provide your password. 

You should find yourself in your home directory, and you ought to be able to transfer files back and forth between the server and your home computer. An added feature is that you are allowed to browse to your group areas as well.

The file structure for the FTP server has the following lay out.

Home directories:
/files/client/username

Group directories:
/files/group/groupname

2. You can also transfer files using the FTP capabilities of your web browser.
