Transferring Files From Unix and Web Publishing Locations
Files stored inside Unix or Web Publishing space are accessible with a secure file transfer protocol software program. (Secure FTP) program. Once connected to homer.u.washington.edu (for employees) or vergil.u.washington.edu (for students), files can be copied, removed, or uploaded with a secure file transfer program.
Additionally files inside the Web publishing space can often be managed from within a Web development tool, such as Dreamweaver.
