1. a) Download the "Secure Shell Suite" from people.emich.edu and;
b) run the installer.
Once that's done, you should have a shortcut on the desktop named "FileZilla",
and the EMU Secure Shell Suite in your Start Menu:
2. a) Launch the program and the Site Manager window automatically pops
up. This is what you use to "log in" to your account.
(If you ever need to get back to this window go to
"File>Site Manager".)
b) Under "Host" enter people.emich.edu, but don't hit return yet -
c) under "User"
you need to put your emich username. Then hit return.
3. Enter your emich password:
4. Now you should be connected, showing files on:
your local machine
(the one you are sitting at),
on the
left (L-L), and
the files on your remote, or people.emich account,
on the right (R-R).
5. Learn to navigate around on each machine by using these windows:
a) create new folders on each side by either right-clicking or using the menus
b) move "into" a folder on each side: you double-click on the folder
to "drill down" inside it
c) move "back out" of the folder: double-click the folder with the ". ."
to move back up out of a folder.
But on
people.emich don't move up beyond your own user account, the folder you start
in, unless you want to get lost and not be able to find your way back. Learn
to navigate around on your home computer on the left hand side too: C drive
is usually your hard drive - know how to find your "My Documents" folder, and
keep your course files organized in folders inside a folder, say 324, too.
To move files from your local (home) to the remote (people.emich) or the other
way around you simply drag the file from one side to the other.
