Publishing Your Webpage Using WinSCP
WinSCP is a free SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) client. This document describes WinSCP installation and file transfer to the public_html directory of the web server - holly.acs.brockport.edu.
Instructions on setting up and using WinSCP, a free SFTP client:
1. Download the WinSCP installer here. Click the "Installation Pakage" link for the latest release that is not Beta.
2. Go to the download location on your computer and double-click the installer.
3. Click "Next" three times.
4. On the fourth dialog box under "Initial user settings", for "User interface style" select "Explorer-like interface".
5. Complete the installation and run WinSCP.
6. On the login, for "host name", type holly.acs.brockport.edu
7. For "user name", enter your NetID. For "password", enter your password. User name and password is the same as your Campus Webmail login information.
