WinSCP
 

WinSCP is a file transfer program included with the SEU Network Installer. Members of the St. Edward's community may also download a copy of WinSCP from http://www.frc.stedwards.edu/installers. With WinSCP, you can transfer files to and from your Windows computer and other computers using Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP).

Note that only servers with Secure FTP setup may be accessed using WinSCP. On the St. Edward's campus these servers include:
- edshare.stedwards.edu
- acad.stedwards.edu
- aux.stedwards.edu

The admin.stedwards.edu server does not accept SFTP connections. Use WS_FTP to access admin.stedwards.edu.

Click on the New button to create a new session.

  1. Type in the host or server name for Host Name.
