  1. Accessing Barney Off-Campus How can I get my H: files when I am not on the GU network? Business 111 Edward Mitchell Fall 2006

  2. About Barney • Barney is the name given to a “Server” computer at Gonzaga. • It’s full name is barney.gonzaga.edu • Inside the GU network, we can just use “barney” • Your H: files (in the lab) are actually stored on Barney

  3. How does this work? • When you log in to the GU network with your username/password, your computer automatically links the disk volume letter “H:” to your personal file storage space on Barney.

  4. Barney Can be Accessed Remotely • You can also access your personal files on Barney by using a “File Transfer Protocol” program • This is also known as “FTP” • A command-line version of FTP is built-in to Windows, Mac OS X and Linux operating systems

  5. Command-line vs GUI? • The command line is cumbersome to use so we will not even go there … • However, you may find information on using FTP as a command line option at GU and elsewhere on the Internet • The GUI versions are much easier to use

  6. FTP Basics • To connect to a file server using FTP you will need: • 1. An “FTP” program to manage the file transfer • 2. The name of the remote server (in our case barney.gonzaga.edu) • 3. The remote server is sometimes called the “host”

  7. FTP Basics • The user name is your regular GU log in name. • A password. The password is your regular GU log in password. • With this information, you can proceed to run an FTP file transfer program.

  8. Windows – Mac OS X • There are two popular Windows programs for accessing your files using FTP:1. WS_FTP95 LE2. FileZilla • For Mac OS X, we will use “Cyberduck”

  9. WS_FTP95 LE • WS_FTP95 LE is installed on the GU lab computers • But WS_FTP95 LE is no longer officially available. • (Unofficially, you can find it with Google and install on your Windows-based PC • It was designed for Windows 95 but does work on Windows XP

  10. WS_FTP95 LE • If you wish, you can experiment with WS_FTP95 on the lab computers (or find and install on your own computer) • An online tutorial to WS_FTP95 is available here http://tutorial.ftpplanet.com/LE/

  11. FileZilla • FileZilla is a free program • The funny name comes from the Internet browser known as “Mozilla”, which is the program that runs the Firefox browser • First, download FileZilla …

  12. Downloading FileZilla • Go here: http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/ • And click on Download at upper left • Choose “Filezilla” -DO NOT choose the Filezilla Server on the download page.

  13. Choose FileZilla

  14. Mac OS X Cyberduck • Go to http://cyberduck.ch/ • And download the program (just below the download item is an option download a smaller, English-language only version) • We will come back to Cyberduck after covering the Windows FTP programs

  15. Install FileZilla • After downloading the program to your computer, you must then use Windows Explorer to find the file (put it on the desktop for ease of access) • Double-click the install program to install FileZilla on your computer. • It will likely create an icon on your desktop as well as add itself to your Program Files menu.

  16. FileZilla

  17. After logging in

  18. Performing a file transfer

  19. Using Cyberduck • After downloading Cyberduck, Mac OS X will open a Finder window showing the files it has downloaded. • With your mouse, click, and then drag the Cyberduck yellow duck icon to the Applications folder on your Mac.

  20. Launch Cyberduck • Double click on the Cyberduck icon in your Applications folder

  24. Homework Exercise • Use FileZilla (or WS_FTP95LE or other FTP program) and connect to: • ftp1.ipswitch.com • Log in as an anonymous user • Once logged in you will see a set of files and folders (see next page)

  25. Files on FTP ServerDouble-click on “ipswitch”

  26. Double-click on “White_Papers”

  27. Locate file “secure_ftp.pdf”

  28. Copy “secure_ftp.pdf” to your PC • If you double-click on the name of the file you wish, it will automatically transfer to “the other file directory” • Or, you can click on the desired file, and then drag your mouse to drag the file to your computer. • This capability normally works in both directions

  29. Once you have secure ftp.pdf • Once you have secure ftp.pdf, using Windows Explorer, open the file by double-clicking on it. • The file should open in Adobe Acrobat Reader – the standard program for reading PDF files (note: Mac OS X will open in Preview)

  30. If you need Adobe Reader • You can download a free copy from adobe.com. • Go to http://adobe.com and click on “Get Adobe Reader” • Download, install and then open the secure_ftp.pdf file.

  31. Assignment40 points • Write a one page (no more than 1 page!) set of answers to these questions: • Why is email not the best option? • What does HIPAA stand for? • Can a web browser be used for FTP?
