Through SIREN you can now access your files stored in your Home directory. 
The server's address is "home.sc.maricopa.edu". 

At this time access to drop boxes in the class area (F:\) can not be accessed remotely. This is being evaluated, but current security and license issues prohibit this.

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 home.sc.maricopa.edu. Your userID is the same one you use to login to SIREN on campus (your eight-letter username). You will be asked to provide your SIREN password. 

You should find yourself in your home directory, and you ought to be able to transfer files back and forth between school and home. 

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

NetScape Instructions:
In the location bar, type 

ftp://ainstructor@home.sc.maricopa.edu 

Substitute your username for ainstructor. Do not put a trailing slash at the end of the URL. You will be prompted for your password.

Internet Explorer Instructions:
It is recommended that you are using the latest version of IE available. We have found versions above 5.0 to work well with these instructions.

In the location bar, type 

ftp://ainstructor@home.sc.maricopa.edu 

Substitute your username for ainstructor. Do not put a trailing slash at the end of the URL. You will be prompted for your password.

Older versions of IE
In the location bar, type

ftp://ainstructor:password@home.sc.maricopa.edu

Substitute your username for ainstructor add the colon and your password. WARNING your password is being entered in clear text and is viewable to people around you and in your link history.


To transfer a file into your space on SIREN, just drag and drop it onto the web page. To transfer a file from your storage space to your home computer, right-click on the file and select the Save Link As option.
