St. Edward's University EdShare Information

Accessing EdShare from Off Campus or from the Residence Halls - Macintosh OS

To access EdShare from off campus, resident hall, apartment, or wireless you must SFTP to the server using your SEU login information. This should be the same as your EdWeb login name and password. If you cannot login, you may need to reset your password using EdWeb.

You must have a Secure FTP client such as Fetch 5.0 or Fugu installed to access EdShare from your home computer. You can download either from http://www.frc.stedwards.edu/installers.
Note: Fetch is no longer free. Fugu is a free product.
