Connecting to files.ucls.uchicago.edu using Windows.

Download and install a program capable of SFTP (a Secure File Transfer Program). WinSCP is the recommended program and documented here. You can download winscp from http://winscp.net/download/winscp382setup.exe.:

  • Once WinSCP is installed open the program - a dialog box will open asking for session connection information.
  • For hostname enter: files.ucls.uchicago.edu Enter your lab school username and password. Leave all other fields in their default state. Click Login.
  • Once connected you will see a window split down the middle. The right half shows your ucls file server space - the “remote” system. The left half shows the files on your computer - the “local” system. You should be able to drag and drop any files between systems.
  • To view public spaces (dropboxes, etc.) navigate the remote system to: /Volumes/SAN/Data/Public
