If your Windows computer is on the OSU network (either plugged into a network port at a building on campus, using the OSU wireless network, or using VPN from off-campus), you can mount your site directory to your Windows computer. For VPN access, go to Helpdoc's VPN page. Follow these steps:
Note: If you have a version of Windows older than Windows 2000, please use the alternative instructions instead.
You can also use the alternative instructions as well.
If your Windows computer is not on the OSU network, or the On Campus instructions do not work for you, you can use any SSH-based secure file copy program. We recommend WinSCP to securely transfer files between your computer and your ONID account. The SSH SFTP client is no longer supported and should not be used. For VPN access, go to Helpdoc's VPN page.
WinSCP is available at http://winscp.net.
Follow these steps to connect to your ONID account using WinSCP:
On the left side, you will see the files and directories on your computer. On the right side are the files and directories on your ONID account. Change directory to the site using the full path specified in WebManage for your site.
To transfer a file or directory from your ONID account to your computer, simply drag-and-drop the item from the right side to the left side. To transfer a file from your computer to your ONID account, drag-and-drop the item from the left side to the right side.
To close your connection and exit WinSCP, click on the Commands menu and choose Quit.
