Connecting to one of the Pauper's via Filezilla
If you don't already have it installed, please install Filezilla. You can find it at the following link Filezilla. You'll want to choose "Download Filezilla Client". Run the resulting installer to install the software on your machine.
Initial Setup
To connect to the Pauper cluster open Filezilla. At the top of the screen add the following information:
- Host: pauper.bio.fsu.edu
- Username: your BIO AD username
- Password: your BIO AD password
- Port: 22
Navigating
The remote side window will start in your home directory. Double click the folders to navigate inside your home directory. Navigate to other directories by changing the path in the "Remote site:" field above the navigation pane.
Uploading or Downloading Files
Once you have navigated to the remote folder you want to work with on the right side of the screen, you should also navigate to the local folder you wish to work with on your computer via the navigation pane on the left side of the screen. Once there, you can drag and drop files back and forth, or right click and select Upload or Download, as appropriate. Please be aware that when you download files, by default Filezilla saves them in whatever directory you've navigated to within the left pane.
