HOW TO TRANSFER FILES FROM afs TO YOUR HOME PC:

A file that is stored on a school account can be transferred to the home PC

by using an FTP program (similar to "fetch" for Mac's). If they don't

already have FTP software, your students can download a user-friendly FTP

program (called FTP Explorer) from the NJIT website:

http://distrib.njit.edu/download.htm

Downloading a file from remote machine onto home PC:

(Note: Those who use a different FTP program can skip the first two steps)

1. Download ftpexplorer.exe from http://distrib.njit.edu/download.htm on to

home PC

2. Run ftpexplorer.exe and set up the program on home PC

3. Connect to an afs machine where the file is stored. (See below for

setting up this connection)

4. Locate the file in its proper directory on the afs account

5. Click and drag the file onto desktop on home PC

For setting up a connection to an afs machine in FTP Explorer:

1. Profile name: Give the connection a name (e.g. Juniper)

2. Host address: Enter the remote host name (e.g. juniper.njit.edu)

3. Login: Enter your NJIT login name

4. Password: Enter you NJIT password

5. Leave other settings unchanged

6. Click "save" to save these settings for future use (Caution: If you use

such a program on a public/shared computer, be sure to "remove" a connection

you created otherwise your login/password information could be used by

someone else.)

7. Click "connect" to connect to the remote host you just created a

connection for

Alternatively, Windows 95/98 users can use a Windows FTP command to download

files from remote machines:

1. Start button >> Run... >> Type "ftp juniper.njit.edu" (for example)

[This will bring up a window that looks like the DOS prompt window]

2. Enter Login/Password information

3. Type "bin" at the prompt (for binary transfer)

4. Type "hash" at the prompt (to see the progress of the download)

5. Change to the directory (use the "cd" command) that contains the file to

be downloaded

6. Type "get" followed by the file name to begin downloading the file (For

multiple files, use "mget")

7. Type "bye" to logout

Note: Use "put" or "mput" to upload files on to the remote host
