ULYSSIS doesn't support ftp, because it is insecure. However, we support sftp (ftp over ssh).
#REDIRECT [[Accessing your files]]
This works similar as ssh.
 
On the server, your files are located in <code>/home/group/username/</code>. For a normal user with username <code>username/</code> this will be <code>/home/user/username/</code>, for an organisation with username <code>organisation/</code> this will be <code>/home/org/organisation/</code> etc.
 
==Non-graphical methods==
 
The most common way to transfer files is with a terminal by using the <code>scp</code> command.
 
===Copying file to host:===
scp SourceFile user@host:directory/TargetFile
If you want to copy an '''empty''' folder, you have to add -r, for example:
scp -r SourceFolder user@host:directory/TargetFolder
 
===Copying file from host:===
scp user@host:directory/SourceFile TargetFile
If you want to copy an '''empty''' folder, you have to add -r, for example:
scp -r user@host:directory/SourceFolder TargetFolder
 
You don't need to use the full path to your file. You may you the relative path, starting from your home directory. For example:
scp index.html user@ssh1.ulyssis.org:www/index.html
 
You can find '''more info''' on the '''scp commands''' by using:
man scp
 
==Graphical methods==
 
The graphical methods are explained in [[Accessing your files]].
